One rainy Sunday afternoon, a four year old girl was sitting home with her father.
Dad was watching a football game when the girl said, “Dad, I’m bored. I have nothing to do.”
(How many times have you heard THAT one as a parent?).
The father picked up the Sunday paper and walked across the room toward his daughter. He opened the paper and stopped turning pages when he saw a full-page ad for an airline. The ad read: “We travel the world,” with a large photo of the earth as seen from outer space.
The father, thinking he was smart, tore the page out and then tore it up into small pieces and said to his daughter, “Okay honey. Put this world back together again with the Scotch tape over there.”
The bored little girl slid off the couch and, with a hesitant look up at her Dad, started arranging the numerous pieces.
In a few minutes the girl said, “Dad, I’m all done. I’m still bored. I have nothing to do.”
Doubting his daughter could have put the ad puzzle back together so quickly, the father exclaimed, There’s no way you could have put that world back together so quickly. Let me take a look.”
When the girl presented her father with the full-page
ad completely intact as it once was, the father was amazed.
“How did you put that world back together so fast?” he asked.
And the girl explained: “Well, you see Dad, there was a picture of a person on the other side. And when I put the person together, the world was together.”
Wow! Powerful stuff.
If you ever wonder why I spend so much time encouraging and affirming that you can succeed in real estate, this is why.
We all feel broken at times, torn to pieces, and if we are left that way, how can we move forward to achieve our dreams.
If you feel torn up right now, find someone to talk to about it and heal. If you know someone who needs help being “put back together” help them if you can.
Together, we can make a difference in our world.
Talk soon,
