Go in the Open Door

My wife made life decisions easier for me recently. As we were driving into our parking space, I was driving her car. I park in the right parking stall and she parks on the left. I push the button for the door to open. Of course the left door opened because I was driving her car and using her garage opener, but I was inclined to go into my normal parking space. I was momentarily confused.



When I said to my wife, "I almost turned into the wrong parking space. I was a little confused." She said, "you shouldn't be, it's easy to go into the right one." I asked, "what do you mean?" She said, "it's really no problem which parking space to go to." I was puzzled, "what do you mean?" She said, "it's simple, just go into the opened door!"



That makes it simple when making a decision about what you will do. Just go into the door and pathway that is open to you. I heard a phrase early in life that has stuck with me regarding making life decisions. A friend said to me: "Catch the gleam, follow the bent, and go in the open door."



Recently when I finished a chapter in my life, I asked, "what's next?" Before the week ended I received a call which was a door opening before me. Guess what I did? I remembered my wife's instruction. It was not confusing. It was satisfying to know that it was a open door, and I entered. Once that chapter concludes, I hope I will remember how simple it is forward in my life.



As a child apparently I didn't know the words, "occupation, or profession." When we met someone, we asked, "how do you make a living?" What I was asking what is your way of earning a living. At this stage in my life I no longer am making a living. I'm just living. That to is what I plan to do forward in life.

There's No Free Lunch

I've got something for you. It's not free but it is as close as you can get. If you will make an appointment to let me do something for you, you will be doing something for me. Here's how it works. I make a visual tour of the rooms and exterior of your house as well as personal items that you want to record visually. A visual record of your house that is recorded to a Computer Disk that you can keep in a safe place in case of the destruction of your property. The visual tour that I make serves as a marketing tool for my real estate business. That's about as close to free as you can get. But shouldn't life unfold so that each of us get something for our efforts. A win/win situation is the best for everyone. That's how I work with Buyers and Sellers. I work to see that each party reaches their goal. A seller wants to sell and a buyer wants to buy. We've been doing that since the beginning of free enterprise. As a Real Estate Professional working under the watchful eye of the Georgia Real Estate Commission, I follow their rules and regulations. But long before I worked as a Licensed Real Estate Professional I committed my life to doing what is right. Even if there was no Real Estate Commission, I would have followed a higher ethic than the Commission follows. The ethic that I committed to doing works to bring everyone to a win/win conclusion of what can be a very emotional event. Take one of the surprises off the table by securing a record through a visual tour of what you would replace in the event of a disaster destroying your house and personal property.
