Nobody Said It Was Going To Be Easy ?

It is not easy to put others first when we are hurting ourselves, but we must subordinate our own needs to something beyond our own self-interests. Though we often perceive our own needs as most important, and we worry, who is going to look out for me, it is definitely the time to set aside our own self-interests in order to be of service to others. The irony in how we sometimes act, to do what we perceive as a necessity, is that self-absoption ultimately drains our energy and impedes our performance, actually keeping us from attaining that what it is we wish or need to. The more pre-occupied we are with our own fears and concerns, the less energy we have available to take the positive action necessary to overcome them. And obviously we then have even less energy or inclination to help the people we are paid to help, and who now need our help, more than ever........our clients.

I truly believe that in order for everybody to get through these times in the mortgage and real estate industries, we must...............and I mean we MUST..........go the extra mile...........and not just as the cliche, but in practice.

As Nietzsche wrote, "He who has a why to live for can bear with almost any how". Use this as your motivation in the morning, to do the best possible job you can for your clients, and you'll be amazed at what you can accomplish for them.
