This past Tuesday, our NINJA Mindset Session was about the Power of Gratitude & Affirmations which is always a positive session, but following Memorial Day, it was even more positive with rewarding discussions which prompted me to change my Broker Bit for this week.  

Gratitude is something we all take for granted at times due to all the noise in our daily lives.  As individuals and as a company, we are fortunate to have this topic come up daily thanks to our leadership team and the mission of our company. I took "Gratitude" for granted until I was presented the opportunity to work at Bellator. I learned very early, as probably most of you, that every meeting is started with Gratitude's. I remember thinking, "Why haven't I ever started each day with gratitude?" It is easy to get busy with our daily tasks and challenges and lose focus on how grateful we need to be, even for the smallest things in life.

If we take a step back, we can always find something to be grateful for - always. Without gratitude, you do not have a "positive vibe" and who doesn't like a positive vibe! 

So, how does gratitude relate to this Broker Bit & Real Estate? Think about how gratitude helps you with your vibe. Now, think about how important your vibe is to the people around you and to your Real Estate business. 

There are NOT a lot of things in our business that we can control, which can cause our anxiety and stress as humans. The good news is that there are several major components in our lives that we CAN control with gratitude and a positive vibe. Have you ever wanted to do business with someone with a negative vibe? No way!

To put gratitude and a positive vibe into perspective, they both have a direct connection to:

• Our spirituality.
• Our daily function.
• Our goals.
• Our MINDSET
• Our giving.
• Our health.
• Our well-being.
• Our social perspective.
• Our success.

So the next time you are having a bad moment, day or transaction, try what I do: 

1. Hit pause.
2. Do a walkabout.
3. Verbally provide yourself a few gratitude's.
   
   I promise your vibe and your perspective will change!
   
   Gratitude and a positive vibe are a direct connection to the success of our personal and professional lives.
