Is It Time You Ran Away?

Gary that is a great photograph for your blog!  I really liked your blog, another great point being made.  I hope that I don't run away, I really like being in Real Estate!  Anyway, great job again!

Awesome inspiration!  You know what they say about , "When the going gets tough!"  I get inspired in times like these to work smarter, think faster and succeed better!  Thanks for the reminder!

I don't know, Gary.....that road looks pretty inviting to me...and most interesting traveling companions...I bet they might even give me a ride ;-) 

Gary,

I like the solving the problem aspect of the post better.  Although, when I was in my other life as a Food Service Manager I would go into the walk-in freezer, so nobody could hear me, and scream to get a bad day out of the way or to just cool off.

Hi Gary:

I'm definitely not one to run away from problems...I hit them, straight on.

But I really do need to get away however!  Maybe soon....

Gary - problems, like bears, will usually catch up with you if you are running away. And although with a bear, you just have to be faster than the slowest person with you, the problems are yours and somehow track you down.

Gary,

I also do not run away from problems and meet them head on. We always plan a special trip each year as we love to travel. It's a goal that when things get stressful I think "that's okay" I'll deal with this issue and I can relax and have a wonderful travel experience later in the year. I like having something I'm working toward that I know will be fun and exciting. All problems will be worth dealing with then!

this is a great post and reminds me of the old saying, you cant run away, becasue you take 'you' wherever 'you' go , --  have a great day

Hi Gary, I'm sensing that you may be feeling a bit of stress in your life, am I right? There are days, albeit few, that I feel I am surrounded by morons and lunatics, which drives me crazy. When that happens, I click on LOL cats, and my attitude is refreshed.

I LOVE the picture in this post and I am still laughing as I write this comment! Seriously though, Iusually start my day with my biggest challenge so it just gets better after that!

I never see a time when I will think it's a good idea to run away. It's just not my nature.

I love the picture Gary, it is tempting right now to think of running away... if only as a dream.....

My wife and I often joke about running away at about 7:00 PM every night when we are doing bath time with our three ankle biters under 3.5 years of age.

That being said, running away never solves any problems. :)

Every where you go, there you are.

Gary:  It really does no good to ignore our problems.  By doing that, we usually create a larger, or even more, problems.

Gary,

To many of us in the real estate and mortgage and related businesses running away has probably crossed the mind during the last year or two. But often new energy is discovered to fight another battle and find solutions.

Gary - I wanted to run away in October. I wanted to get out of the business. And, then I re-evaluated things and realized there were problems that needed fixing and what I really needed was a change. So, I affiliated myself with another firm. I have no regrets. Things are going great. Had I ran away and dropped out of the business I'm not sure I would have been as happy.    

Gary - You can run away but your problems will follow you. So, it is best to stay and deal with them.

Great photo, at least they are running away together!  Thanks for the permission to run away after you have dealt with the sore spots, that makes a lot of sense. 

I am one of those that stay around until the last dog is hung, and then i try CPR!

That is such a cool picture!  I like to face my problems head on.... bring em on!
