Growth is important in life. In my career, I’ve experienced a lot of highs and a lot of lows they helped me grow as a person and as a realtor. Some of the lows I almost let ruin my career, but when I look back I can say that those lows taught me something. It taught me how to not let others control what you do. It taught me to look for the highs and remember why I do what I do. It taught me to remember that the lows are only stepping stones and learning curves. It also taught me that no matter how happy you are and how great you are doing there will always be someone or something that wants to take that away from you. Whether or not you let that happen is up to you.

I almost did. I almost let all the highs I experienced to be shattered and crushed. All the great memories of helping families, meeting new people and trying to better myself almost came to a halt because I was letting the lows take over. I’m so thankful that I didn’t let that happen!

I experience so many amazing people in my career. I’ve helped families move to an unknown town and feel welcomed, families get out of a financial burden, families close doors of chapters that are painful to them and open new ones to start fresh. These are the highs I enjoy the most. This is why I do what I do. The highs will also supersede the lows even when you feel like the lows just keep coming. Just push forward, continue to grow and better yourself. Use those lows to teach you lessons. Use those lows to prove people wrong. Use those lows as motivation to grab onto every high that you can and dance around like no one is watching. Celebrate yourself. Celebrate your journey.

Looking at these pictures I see 3 totally different people. Year 1, I see a girl who was eager, but terrified of jumping into something new. Year 2, I see the girl who almost let her career end. Year 3, I see a girl who decided to keep going and push through the lows to continue. What you don’t see yet is Year 4. 2020 will be the year I look back at everything in the past that’s brought me down and prevail.

Plant the seed and it will grow! Continue to nurture yourself and watch how much you can grow. Positivity going forward for me in 2020!!
