Beachy Beach February Love Note
(Originally published February 11, 2014)
Dear Beachy Beachers,
I loved to listen to what the positive successful agents are saying and notice they are NOT lamenting about how nothing is happening. They are instead focussing on the positive things that they are doing in their business and if it is a little slow they are taking that time to refocus and reshape their business plan. With that in mind let me share a story about 2 farmers that sums it up.
When rain fell on the land, the positive farmer would say, "Thank you Lord, for watering our crops."
The negative farmer said, "Yeah, but if this rain keeps up, it's going to rot the roots away, and we're never going to have a harvest."
The sun came out and the positive farmer said, "Thank You , Lord for the sunshine. Our crops are getting the vitamins and minerals they need. We're going to have a great harvest this year.
The negative farmer said, Yeah, but if it keeps this up, it's going to scorch those plants. We're never going to make a living.
One day the two farmers went goose hunting together, and the positive farmer brought along his new bird dog. he was so proud of that dog, he could not wait to show him off. They went out in a small boat and waited. Before long, a big goose flew overhead. Boom!! The positive farmer brought the bird down in the middle of the lake. He turned to his friend and said, "Now watch what this dog can do." That dog jumped out of the boat and ran on top of the water, picked up the goose, ran back all the way on top of the water, and put the bird down perfectly in the boat. The positive farmer was beaming from ear to ear. He turned to his friend, and said, "What did you think of that?
The negative farmer shook his head in disgust. "Just what I thought," he said. "That dog can't even swim!"
Okay this is a funny illustration but it is oh so true that some people seem to find the problem in every solution!!!! Thankfully our office is NOT filled with negative farmers. I know that all of you are great at having abundant thinking thoughts, life changing thoughts and thus you create a good life for yourself and others. Our lives really do flow in the direction of our thoughts.
This is the part of the love letter when I tell you how amazing you are. How rich you make my life, how proud I am of all of you, how honored I am that I get to work with you and spend my time with you. It is the part where I thank God that he has allowed me such a love filled life with GREAT and Abundant thinkers.
Grateful and enthusiastic,
Karen Key Smith
