Every real estate agent needs some motivation for the day.
Did you have one of those days. your market getting you down. We all need some motivation from time to time. Real estate can be a very hectic and confusing profession. As agents we should educate and support one another. RELiberation has given us an opportunity to work together as one sharing idea, thought and headaches. Lets share some motivation today.
Then give to the world the best you have. And the best will come back to you.

I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much.

Shortly after my divorce, I had to quit my management job and take a factory job so I could spend more time with my three kids. I was only making 1/5 of what I was and things were getting really tight. But I have never asked anyone for anything; my pride wouldn't allow it.
I didn't really know how I was going to continue making ends meet. To make it worse, Christmas was coming up and I couldn't even afford a tree or any gifts for my children. I was behind on rent and the light bill was past due.
I don't know where it came from or from who, but one day when I returned home from work, I was totally amazed. I just started crying and I couldn't stop.
Someone had delivered so much stuff to my house. Gifts for all three children. Clothes, School supplies, toys. Enough food to last a month, Shampoo, soap, laundry soap, and the list goes on. Not too mention, my rent had been paid. I don't know to this day who the kind person was. Or how anyone even knew how bad I was having it at the time. I never revealed to anyone, not even my closest friends.
I do know that since then I have picked myself up and things are going really great for me and my family. That was 10 years ago. But every year since then I have my children pick things out for other children and we deliver them in the same fashion. ANONYMOUSLY. Even with two of my children grown and out on their own, they still follow the tradition.
That act of kindness changed my life forever and I will spend the rest of my life hoping to make a difference in someone else and in sharing the kindness and love with a stranger.
Next time your client yells at you or your phone does not ring think of how much harder life can be. Our business is difficult. We shoulder 100% of our success. Our outcome is what we make it. Our clients need us to be perfect. Well we are not. Life happens. The real estate business is difficult. You are at the wheels of your own destiny. Motivation is needed every day.
I just hope we can all motivate each other is some way.
