Motivation Monday!
The past several posts on Motivation Monday and on 1760mortgageguide have discussed getting prepared for the new year. Credit, business plans, etc. but today will be somewhat short and sweet. This is an excerpt from “Wake Up To a Happier Life” by Amanda Dickson.
Faith Moves
It’s scary to jump into your own life, just like it’s scary to jump into the deep end of a pool from the high dive. You’re not sure what it will feel like the first time you do it. It may sting. The water may be cold. You may get water up your nose. It’s easier to sit on the sidelines and watch other people try it. Some of them flop. Some make a huge splash. You can watch them without commitment. You can make fun of them from the safety of your towel on the grass nearby. You can tell yourself you’re safe there, that you’re just waiting, that maybe you’ll try it later. From that position you can criticize those who jump in, heckle them, tease them as they emerge from the water. Or maybe you can study how they do it, compare techniques, consider how you might do it if you ever decide to jump in.
But faith does not wait. Faith moves. Faith applies for the job, proposes marriage, says yes to the new assignment, sings out loud.
It is time to start your plan, do not wait another year, do not wait to spring. Do it now. So in keeping with my own advice I am stepping down from management and going back into production as a loan officer. I am very excited to be back on the street full time. I am making this decision because all I see right now is opportunity in Colorado mortgage business and I see a lack of committed and knowledgeable mortgage professionals.
I am going for it! You need to do the same!
