"Blessings"Newport,Havelock,Cherry Point,NC
I am thankful for my blessings.
We as realtors know that the housing market is in a slump and the economy is bad. We get up every morning with the media blasting doom and gloom. We know realtors that have had to take on second jobs to make ends meet and realtors that have gotten out of real estate all together.
I have a friend that has breast cancer and is going through chemo now just to shrink the tumor so the doctor's can do surgery. She has a wonderful husband and two young children that she wants to spend a lifetime of Christmas's with. I also have a sister-in-law that is in constant pain and after the first of the year is having her small and large colon removed. She has children and grandchildren that she wants to see grow up. So that being said: I am going to say a prayer and thank God for all my blessings. I have a loving husband, children and grandchildren who love me and it makes getting out of bed each morning a joy. As fellow realtors, please stand with me today and think of and be thankful for all your blessings.
The housing market will turn around and the economy will get better. I wish all of you a very merry Christmas and the most wonderful New Years ever.
Teresa
Merry Christmas from my family to yours!!!!

Just wanted to pass this tip along. Great Message.
Tip: Humility is not thinking less of yourself - it is thinking of yourself less!
There is much written on the subject of self-esteem. Some of the information is excellent but some of it is not very helpful at all. I think there is a great deal of confusion about the issue of self-esteem. True self-esteem involves humility.
The opposite of humility is arrogance. Those who are arrogant and have a prideful spirit will meet with resistance from others. No one likes someone who is arrogant. However, it is important to exhibit and exude confidence in who you are and what you are doing. All of us want to deal with people who are confident in their area of expertise.
For instance: In 1982 I had a ruptured disc in my lower back and I had to go into the hospital for a procedure. My physician was visiting me the night before to explain what t he would be doing. Since I was a little nervous about it, I asked him if he felt good about everything. He looked at me and said, "I am the best orthopedic surgeon in America. I know exactly what I am doing. I have done this procedure a thousand times and by this time tomorrow, you will be fine!" I thought to myself, "Wow! This guy certainly is arrogant!" After he left the room, I thought, "Wait a minute. Isn't that the kind of person I want to do this procedure tomorrow?" I don't think I would have been very happy if he had said, "Well, I am not sure that I know how to do this, but we are going to cross our fingers and hope for the best. Wish me luck!" That would not have inspired my confidence in him at all.
I hope you get the point I am trying to make. It is important that we are confident in ourselves and our abilities. We should learn and grow in every aspect of life, whether that is in business, family or personal development. However, while we are doing that, we must not develop the attitude that we are better or more important than anyone else either.
Humility is not about thinking less of yourself as a person. It does no good to think that you are nothing but a worm who is unable to make any meaningful contribution to your life or environment. True humility allows you to be confident in your abilities and yet focus on others and their needs. When you reach that point, I believe you can begin to experience your best growth.
In 1981, after being out of college for ten years, I decided I wanted to go to graduate school in Dallas, Texas. There was a school there that I very much wanted to attend but I knew it would be very difficult because I was married and had four small children. Taking my family across the country and essentially starting all over was not something that I looked forward to. Yet, I could not have done that if I thought less of myself in the process. It actually bolstered my confidence for trying to learn and grow in new areas of life. It was a difficult process, but looking back, I am certainly grateful for everything that transpired during those years.
This week, why not take a few moments to evaluate how you see yourself? Do you really believe that you are an important person and can do many good things that perhaps no one else could possibly do? You must think highly of yourself in order to grow and do better. You can never achieve anything unless you are willing to take a chance and risk some things you have not done before. In order to do that, I believe you must think more of yourself, not less. But, at the same time, you must spend time thinking of yourself less often and focus more on others.
Are you trying to make a better life for your family? Are you working to achieve more success in your business? Are you concentrating on stretching to grow in your own personal life? All of those are good reasons to try to achieve success.
This is a tricky balance to achieve. However, if you spend some time thinking about it and treat this principle with respect, it will reward you greatly in every area of your life.
Tip: Humility is not thinking less of yourself - it is thinking of yourself less!
Have a great week! God bless you!

Safety in Keys: Carteret & Craven County
I never would have thought of this;
PUT YOUR CAR KEYS BESIDE YOUR BED AT NIGHT!!!
Tell your spouse, your children, your neighbors, your parents, your Dr.'s Office, the check out girl at the market, everyone you run across.
Put your car keys beside your bed at night.
If you hear a noise outside your home or someone trying to get in your house, just press the panic button for your car.
The alarm will be set off, and the horn will continue to sound until either you turn it off or the car battery dies. This tip came from a neighborhood watch coordinator. Next time you come home for the night and you start to put your keys away, think of this: It's a security alarm system that you probably already have and requires no installation.
Test it. It will go off from most everywhere inside your house and will keep honking until your battery runs down or until you reset it with the button on the key fob chain. It works if you park in your driveway or garage.
If your car alarm goes off when someone is trying to break in your house, odds are the burglar/rapist won't stick around... After a few seconds all the neighbors will be looking out their windows to see who is out there and sure enough the criminal won't want that!
And remember to carry your keys while walking to your car in a parking lot. The alarm can work the same way there.
This is something that should really be shared with everyone. Maybe it could save a life or prevent a sexual assault.
My Mom has suggested to my Dad that he carry his car keys with him in case he falls outside and she doesn't hear him. He can activate the car alarm and then she'll know there's a problem.
It would also be useful for any emergency, such as a heart attack, where you can't reach a phone.
What a GREAT idea!
This is something that Agents can use as a free safety device while showing homes. If something goes wrong, just hit your panic button!!!
