Beachy Beach April Love Note
(Originally published April 19, 2014)
Hey you sweet ones,
I am sitting here thinking about our meeting today and as always I get a little excited about all that we have accomplished together and where we have been….. and more importantly our bright future together.
As life gets a little crazy and the market heats up and people heat up with it I try to stay grounded in the founding principles of why I did this thing in the first place. It all comes back to service and being a servant leader. It also comes back to the core mission statement that we have here and that is…. "The only People we have to get even with are those that have helped us"
I have always loved this quote; "When the law of an eye for an eye operates, all of the people will end up blind" -Bishop Desmond Tutu It is simple impossible to pay people back for the wrongs they have done to you, the only sane thing and wise thing to do is to learn the lesson and move on. Belaboring it and running it through your mind is wasted energy and joy that could be used for something good and wonderfully enhancing for your life.
Our business will always be a business filled with different people and different opportunities and all of them filled with challenges. What I am thankful for at the end of the day is that if I keep the Main thing the Main thing then I know that my business and my life will be blessed. Keeping the Golden Rule philosophy allows me to NEVER have a bad day. Being of service means there is always someone that needs me… that needs you, that needs our kindness, our joy, our comfort,our enthusiasm. And Joy of joy the more I give it the more comes back to me and YOU.
These are the things that I am thinking of this morning as I write in my gratitude journal and as always you are in it!!! Right there at the top of the list is all of you because each of you are here for a reason and a purpose for each other.
We have agents who are going through sadness now so lets take this moment to lift them with love and surround them with your joy.
Ending with these wise thoughts that are not mine….. "Cherish your visions, cherish your ideals, cherish the music that stirs your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts, for out of them will grow all delightful conditions!!! ( Old words still true by James Allen)
Have a delightful love filled day and I will cherish the thought of seeing you in a few hours!!!
I love you!!!
Karen
