Changing Direction

Until today, the About Me blurb on this page read:

"Middle-aged and muddled, I am writing toward a life decision. Shall I stick with my business, or quit and do something else? There's more involved, and I've a lot of exploring to do. I won't be hasty."

The decision was made and I've moved on. As of January 1, my decision to quit real estate has become a reality. While my state license remains active, I am no longer active with the Board of Realtors and so do not have access to the MLS (Multiple Listings Service).

I've changed my introduction to reflect the new direction of this blog (not so terribly different from the old direction, just not as specific in intent). Also, I don't like to call myself muddled. Maybe I am muddled, but I don't want to be. Living with greater clarity and simplicity is a goal of mine, and seeing that I am "middle-aged and muddled" every time I pop into this page is not so great.

So this year the key word is integration and the goal is living whole. To 2013!

There is No Try. Unless You're Me

I made the decision a couple of weeks ago to quit real estate. My first and most important task, as I posted here, was to talk to my broker about it.

I haven't followed through. Not that I didn't try. We have training on Thursdays which he facilitates, and I had planned to talk to him after. For the first time, he missed the class. Another agent sat in, one that I like very much, and I spoke with him as a "practice." He was encouraging and had some good advice. So far, so good.

Last Wednesday I again went in to chat with my broker, and he was out of town! In hindsight, I should have set up a meeting with him in advance, but he is nearly ALWAYS in the office. I've been out of town myself since, visiting family, so I try again tomorrow. This is getting ridiculous.

Time to live Yoda's quote, "Do or do not. There is no try."
