Notice the people you see or speak with today...
Does someone you know have a cloud hanging over them? A smile and a few kind or encouraging words might be the rainbow they need right now.
“Try to be a rainbow in someone’s cloud.”
And of course, give yourself some "rainbow words" while you're at it!
The person who needs you may be a client...
It may be an elderly person who needs to move but hates the idea of leaving a home they've loved. You can't change the fact that they need to move, but you can listen. Stop and take a half hour or an hour and just let them share stories about good times in that home. Remind them that no matter where they are, those good memories will stay with them.
It could be another real estate agent...
Think of times when you've given your all for buyers - and they've purchased a home from one of your competitors. Think of the time that you worked hard for a prospective listing client, and they listed with someone else - or decided not to sell at all!
That agent across the room looking down and out might have just had a similar experience. So go over and be friendly. If they tell you the problem, remind them that there are better clients around the corner.
It could be a friend or family member...
All sorts of things can happen to make us sad or unhappy. Sometimes the easiest way to get over it is to speak with someone who cares enough to listen and hand out encouragement.
So keep your eyes open. Someone you know may need your kind words right now.
