REMAX Premier Claremont: HAPPY VS GRATEFUL
HAPPY VS GRATEFUL
In our constant pursuit of happiness we have to ask the question:
Does happiness make us grateful? Or does gratefulness make us happy?
I know it is a real challenge maintaining a constant happy disposition in our endless pursuit of more yet at the
end of the day you decide.
Three things define your destiny:
1. What things mean to you
2. What you focus on
3. What you do
Yesterday I chatted to a young man in the Insurance Industry, who I had been coaching last year who was despondent and frustrated because some of his clients were stalling and seeking a second opinion.
My line of questioning clarified that he had increased his business over the last 9 months, had improved his attitude and the manner in which he was counseling or approaching his clients, yet he was still not happy.
I asked the key question. Are you more successful when you are happy? He said: “Absolutely”
I then approached the conversation from this position:
If you focused on the gratitude you felt for the increased business you have consistently enjoyed over the last 9 months would that improve your business? He said: “You always know just what to say to me, thank you very much.”
In the Real Estate jungle, we eat or be eaten and where more is rarely enough, questions are the answer.
What do I want?
What is enough?
How will I know when I have it?
How do I find peace and balance?
So if you want more, you have to give more. Giving starts the receiving process. I suggested to my friend that he may want to increase his prospecting and numbers to increase his business if he fails to secure the desired number of transactions.
I truly know in my own life that there are many things that have happened to me over the last 3 years that have
made me extremely unhappy. The only thing that helped me through this extremely tough period was finding things I was grateful for.
This can be done despite any hardship you face. I believe being grateful sustains happiness more consistently than being happy governs gratitude.
In moments of my darkest despair, I would ask myself 2 simple life enriching questions:
Can you be happy today?
Yes, always knew I could.
Can you be happy tomorrow?
Yes, again despite everything I knew I could
.
That’s all you have to focus on.
Today and tomorrow, be present!
You cannot change or alter the past, it’s gone!
It doesn’t help to worry about what might happen in the future, it may not happen.
Be present and focus on the choices that look after your best interests, and give you the best chance of happiness and success moving forward.
