Persistence pays off. How many times have we heard that?
How many times have I decided I was going to go after something I wanted and then get frustrated enough to "just forget it?" Too many to count, unfortunately.
But over the past few days I watched in awe as some buyers I was working with kept "going after" the house they wanted by using every bit of creativity and brainstorming they could muster up to find "the way" to make this deal work.
I told myself over and over to keep that picture of them purchasing the house in my mind and to trust that there would be a way for it to happen, even though I could not see how. There were moments of doubt and frustration, but I kept telling myself to hold on to that picture -- that end result.
Just have faith.
So over two or three days the phone calls and the emails were exchanged, possible solutions were pondered, questions were asked, answers were found, and persistence ultimately paid off. An accepted offer came through yesterday afternoon.
I have heard a lot over the past several months of the importance of trusting that things will work out even if the "how" is no where to be seen. It's call faith -- believing in what we cannot see. I finally got that -- really got that.
Watching my buyers' persistence over the past few days was a great lesson and reminder for me to go after what I want. Just do it. No matter what it is, go after it. Stay focused on that end result and know that "how" it will come to you will work itself out.
Just BELIEVE.
