10 Reasons You Really Are A Rarity

By
Services for Real Estate Pros

You are a rarity because you have dared to explore the world that was in your mind. 

You are a rarity because you decided to take a chance on a person that you had faith in and that person turned out to be the real you. 

You are a rarity because you woke up the sleeping giant inside and decided to make your life the way you wanted it to be.

You are a rarity because you keep getting up every time you get knocked down.

You are a rarity because you keep learning from your mistakes.

You are a rarity because you put others ahead of yourself.

You are a rarity because you bought your own dream instead of somebody else's.

You are a rarity because you said you could when others said you couldn't.

You are a rarity because you continue to beat life's situations to fulfill your dream.

You are a rarity because you get up everyday with the intention of winning.

Keep on being the rare person that you are.  The world needs more people like you.

Ced, your words were absolutely beautiful and inspiring.  I collect motivational quotes and keep them on the wall by my computer.  Your post that I came across this evening deserves a place on my wall with Madam CJ Walker, Calvin Coolidge and Booker T. Washington.

Lisa, I'm with you.  My game has been lacking too.  Time to huddle up and come out fighting.  We are a rarity.  We're still here and we are blessed.  Thanks Ced.

Cedric,

That was very inspiring. Sometimes it's hard to believe in yourself and your own dreams when the people around you don't believe in you, but you know others are out there just like you doing what you do and they too wake up every morning and grab the day by the tail. Be thankful that you did wake up and that you have the ability to do something for someone less fortunate. No mater how small it may seem. Like an inspiring BLOG :)  Thanks TJ

Thank you Cedric, we all need words of wisdom and encouragement everyday and you provided us with these wonderful words today. All we have to do is to remember them and read them again and again so we can make them ours.

Did you write those yourself Ced? Good job!

Wouldn't the world be a terrible place if we were all alike? I'm glad there is only one of me (as I'm sure some other people are as well!).

Happy New Year Cedric!

These are wonderfully inspiring words. They are are a great self-esteem booster, too!

I plan to print this out and give it to as many 'rarities' as I can find!
