I Need a Job……..
January24
“I Need this Job” from A Chorus Line.
yeah…that’s right! I NEED a job!! And, I’m not just referring to the fact that in a real estate career, you wake up every morning looking for your next job. I’m referring to a deep requirement for that feeling of accomplishment and fulfillment.
I’ve always been a hard worker, nose-t0-the-grindstone and all that jazz. In the last few years I’ve been giving myself the gift of more travel. And, it IS a gift! I’ve always had a sense of adventure and have enjoyed new experiences but I’ve had the recent luxury of getting away more. And, I’ve learned so much…such as:
- patience (in airports)
- tolerance (for those whose ideas and cultures differ from mine)
- confidence (in new situations)
- graciousness (towards other human beings)
- joy (in new experiences)
- intrigue (what’s around the next corner?)
- relaxation (from getting out of my regular routine)
- appreciation (for home and hearth)
- gratitude (for the incredible privilege we enjoy in our country, that I sometimes take for granted)
All of these are life lessons duly noted and embraced. But, I also have learned to covet and welcome my work! You know the every day routine and discipline that turns a job into a career. Sounds crazy, huh??? I’ve (almost) always known that I (mostly) like my profession, it has provided me with VERY interesting human contact, endless problem solving, incredible variety, plentiful challenge, real stress, continuing education and more!! Now I know I NEED my job (and, not just for the obvious desire to pay my bills). I need the constant challenge to keep learning, to be proficient in my chosen profession, to overcome obstacles, to solve problems, to answer questions, to be disciplined, to have a solid routine and work ethic, to reach out and touch someone.
One of the interesting “silver linings” in the otherwise stressful and anxious real estate market we’ve experienced in the last several years, is that I’ve learned to work smart and seize moments! I can live on less (although, the banks are probably not going to let me buy more investment real estate if I don’t “ramp it up”, which is too bad as there are incredible opportunities out there). I can balance work and play. That’s all for now…just a “sharing moment” :-)
