There is nothing wrong with a pat on the back even if you have to give it to yourself. Joe's list isn't very long but for a cartoon character he did pretty good. Physical labor can exhaust you but so can the heavy lifting of mental labor.
I think I should give myself a pat on the back.
I say if you think you deserve a pat on the back and no one offers you one than do it yourself. I also say no one loves a braggart so do that patting on the back where no one else will see it.
Since I own my brokerage and (last year) told my agents to find other arrangements (I now work alone), I pat myself on the back every day (no one else will...lol).

That's a great example Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty . I know many one man/woman agencies and it takes a strong person to do it. My hats off to you.
Good morning Bob,
There is nothing like the feeling of accomplishment when making a list and crossing all the items off!

That certainly is true Dorie Dillard Austin TX . It seems like that list is never empty.
I tell myself 'Good job' all the time! I'm always happy to hear it too!

Thank you for bringing a smile to my face this morning Kelly McGovern I needed it.
Sometimes when there's no one around, I have to do a happy dance by myself. 😊

Hello Bob and some days I make it a point to pat myself on the back when I complete my list of things to do.

Some days we have too do it ourselves Will Hamm .
Bob "RealMan" Timm good advice, Bob... and one reason I like being affiliated with a good brokerage is because when I show up in the office I often do get a pat on the back and I'm often told I'm very appreciated.

It REALLY makes a difference doesn't it Nina Hollander, Broker .
Bob "RealMan" Timm - I like Timmothy's cartoons. I love the message too!
We should all strive to do our best and not count on others to pat us on the back.

Patricia Feager you have interpreted Timmothy's message well. 😊
Loved this post, Bob "RealMan" Timm. It’s a gentle nudge to honor the quiet wins and the mental heavy lifting that often goes unseen. Thanks for sharing something that feels both real and refreshingly relatable 😊👏

Thank you Lew Corcoran . We need to/should celebrate small victories to combat all the blows (small and large) we take every day as well.
