It’s a Silver Lining!

My name is Bart Mahrer, and I have spent almost four decades as a real estate agent. When times were good, they were very good. But there were times when it was anything but easy. All my time was essentially spent trying to stop a fully loaded ship from hitting the rocks. After much angst and reflection, I found that the ship needed to hit the rocks, and it did! I cannot tell you what a relief it was to make that discovery. Once that concept was established, I could then begin the rebuilding process on a stronger and more responsible foundation. Part of the rebuilding process involved going back through my life and looking for the ＂instances＂ where things seemed painful or difficult and following the rest of the story to its conclusion. There was always a silver lining. So the seemingly bad usually turned out to be in my favor. I found that in virtually every instance, my life was enhanced, not degraded, by the result. How do you think that knowledge will benefit your life?
