Brian Buffini said in a webcast recently, “The struggle a butterfly makes to get out of it’s cocoon strengthens it’s wings so it can fly. If there is no struggle, the butterfly is too weak. Struggle strengthens you.”
This really started me thinking about the struggles we, as a country, have been going through and we as REALTORS(R) and our customers and friends have been going through. If we keep fighting and growing, we will be stronger after this is over than we were before. If our country can fight through the problems we are having, we will be a stronger country.
But my heart really goes out to the people who are struggling with short sales and foreclosures. The book, “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill was written at the end of the great depression 8 years of even worse problems than we are having now (although sometimes that doesn’t seem possible). Many people have found hope and courage and the skills to meet the future from reading this book and others like it.
I love being able to help my clients and friends work their way through the problems they are facing with home ownership, and I hope that each of us reaches inside ourselves to find the strength and hope to create a greater tomorrow for all of us.
