Wordless Wednesday – Our Mindset

By
Real Estate Agent with Dirt Road Real Estate SA676002000

"Whether you think you can or you think you cannot, either way is correct."

This quote is attributed to Henry Ford.

Our mindset which is essentially our attitudes that are habits of thought (Zig Ziglar) direct our behaviors, our actions. No one can see our mindset but they can see our behaviors, our actions.

With all the uncertainty in the real estate industry along with the local to national economies, viruses, weather, personal safety, one’s mindset is increasingly important. That mindset can be one of abundance or scarcity. We can begin each day with positive, emotionally energizing thoughts or with negative, emotionally draining thoughts.

Is the glass half full or is the glass half empty?

As we interact with others we can share our mindset and in turn share our energy. One of my mindset habits is to say good morning, good afternoon or during a holiday time, Merry Christmas or Happy New Year.

These comments are said with a big smile. The reaction usually is a return smile and I sense some additional energy. If someone grunts back, well that is that person’s issue because my goal is to focus on what I can control, my mindset, my emotions and my behaviors. (Thinking, Feeling and Doing)

Years ago, I often heard others state “Have a great day.” I changed that greeting to “Make it a great day.” Later after hearing others say “Make it a great day,”  I now say “Make it an exceptional day.”

“If you can build a muscle, you can build a mindset.”

Jay Shetty

“Having the talent and having the right mindset together can make you unstoppable.”

Ruben Dias

“To create something exceptional, your mindset must be relentlessly focused on the smallest detail.”

Giorgio Armani

“I think anything is possible if you have the mindset and the will and desire to do it and put in the time. “

Roger Clemens

Our mindset is completely with our control. This is why it is important to recognize and embrace what we can control; what we can influence such as a smile toward others; and what we cannot control such as the real estate industry or the economy.

I am a glass half full person and with a smile will always give the greeting of the day or time of year.

Good morning to you as well. Hope you didn't receive too much snow. Funny thing now that the weather has changed the same people complaining about the very hot summer are now complaining about the cold.  Frankly, I am just happy I am above ground and not below it. Thanks for your comments.

Leanne Smith - ha, I'm glad to be above ground also. We have a dusting of snow this morning (at least that's what it looks like from the windows - it's still dark out!).
