This is totally not a real estate blog post…BUT…this is one of my all-time favorite movies and it just hits home for me in many ways as a wife, mom, friend, and yes, even as a REALTOR. For me, there are many life secrets from “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty”.
- Go live. It’s okay to daydream, but there comes a time when you need to go live. So…go!
- Finish. Whatever it is you’ve started. Finish it. See it through to the end.
- An awesome homemade cake can get you past warlords. 🙂
- Stand up for yourself.
- Be brave and courageous.
- Be in the moment…no cameras, no phones, no social media…just you and your surroundings and those who are with you…in the moment that you’re living right then.
- Know your limits … and then reach past them.
- Get out of your comfort zone…daily.
- Be comfortable with who you are and be willing to change when you realize that it may not be who you are meant to be.
- Sacrifice for others.
- Give…your time, your money, your best effort, your knowledge and know-how.
- Be humble.
- Love.
- Travel. It’s a big world out there and much to see and do.
- Determination and a belief that you’re doing the right thing will take you far.
- Remember those who you have lost and know that they will always be with you.
- Sometimes life’s adventures take you places you’ve never been to do things you’ve never done…and sometimes they take us back to memories and a life we used to live. Life comes full circle sometimes.
- Be an adult…but have fun at the same time.
- Growth comes from hardship, travels, loss, love, and all that life brings your way. Embrace it and know that it’s made you who are you today.
- Danger is often lurking around us … sometimes you just gotta bop it on the nose and get out of the water…take a breather, and move on.
- Life is full of jerks. Doesn’t mean you need to stoop to their level. Take the high road. Put it on a plaque and hang it in your office.
So. Many. Life. Lessons. Which one will you reach for today?
