The other day this guy who was very tall with a clipboard in his hand and something obvious to do was walking in front of a couple. The two love birds were holding hands and in love but clearly not paying attention to there public displays of affection. Mr. Big must have been looking at the train wreck in front of him or thinking of how much money he is making, when.... FUSMACK!
His face planted on the ground and clipboard firmly into his abdomen. He literally but quit figuratively hit a "STOP" sign. The couple turned around. Then, continued on there way. I watched the man and the couple with enlightenment:
Mr. Big just got up. He didn't lay there hurt because he obviously was- While laughing with a slight bellow he removed the paperwork from his left side rib cage. I picked up the pace behind this spectacle to ask Mr. Big: "Are you okay? Is there anything I can do?
"No way Jose!, This needed to happen to me!"
"Huh?! Wait...What?" I asked.
Mr. Big-who might have been hurt- Looked at me and asked "What do you do for a living?"
"I'm a Realtor", I said boldly.
He told me he was entering his comfort zone the moment before he fortunately impaled himself. Mr. Big also went on to explain how little (or big) moments of misfortune were his "Gods way of redirecting him to his purpose and he needed to listen to and open up to them or it would just feed the beast."
"Ahh", I said, "so your Hertz Doughnut changed into a Makes Sense Doughnut."
With a straight face he asked me to do him a favor and "stop making jokes."
Although jokes are not were I excel. Real Estate with understanding some little nuances and the POWERS THAT BE are. " So while you were walking to your destination..." hand on my chin rubbing with deep thought I asked, " Were you conforming to whatever society wanted you to think and not focused on what you should have been doing, or wanted to do?"
"BINGO GOOD BUUDY!" While picking up his important papers he left me with- "Are you comfortable? Just hit the reset button."
Now...obviously the reset button is whatever you want it to be whenever you want to use how many ever times. It's life's way of looking at you knowing that you are going to make mistakes and to NOT beet yourself up over it. It's also a way to stay on track of your goals. Everyday I am trying to close deals with multiple different partners and sometimes many moving parts. Thinking of the Mr. Big in me I will hit the reset button. It's refreshing!! And to add an important point: I think of were I was and what I was feeling when I was on track with my goals. This helps me Reset as well.
