I sat down and watched my all time favorite classic Christmas movie: Santa Claus is Coming to Town with my daughters the other night. While enjoyable for all the normal reasons, I was reminded of a very important lesson while enjoying a song. Here are the lyrics to the song:
“Put one foot in front of the other
And soon you’ll be walking cross the floor
Put one foot in front of the other
And soon you’ll be walking out the door
You never will get where you’re going
If you never get up on your feet
Come on, there’s a good tail wind blowing
A fast walking man is hard to beat
Put one foot in front of the other
And soon you’ll be walking cross the floor
Put one foot in front of the other
And soon you’ll be walking out the door
If you want to change your direction
If your time of life is at hand
Well don’t be the rule be the exception
A good way to start is to stand
Put one foot in front of the other
And soon you’ll be walking cross the floor
Put one foot in front of the other
And soon you’ll be walking out the door
If I want to change the reflection
I see in the mirror each morn
You mean that it’s just my election
To vote for a chance to be reborn”
Sing it with me!
It occurs to me that many of us in the real estate industry need to sing this as our mantra this year. It has been a difficult year for many people, but sinking into that negativity is a huge mistake. Often times just the impact of movement creates a forward momentum that can push you through a rough patch. The lesson of self motivation and positive growth is one that I try to bring into my day all year long, but this song does a fabulous job of keeping it close at hand. For myself, I am going to continue to vote for my chance to be reborn and start each day with a positive step towards my goals. I hope you will, too!
