Social media today is filled with folks who want to share a message, myself included. I particularly enjoy seeing friends and family grow and thrive in the lives they have made for themselves. Others pass along political information, funny sayings or inspiring quotes. These folks make a habit of seeking out and sharing the best of what social media has to offer. They keep their glasses full and fill others' glasses as well.
But there is also the social media user who is out there just to spread manure, sew a bad seed and put a rain cloud over Media-land. Constantly ranting and raving, sharing doom and gloom, what is the mission of this user? Surely there is a way to educate and create awareness without tearing down. There is a way to speak of life's stormy days without showing yourself to be the perpetual victim forever mired in the half emptiness of your glass. And the manure? Leave it in the cow where it belongs!
Today see what you can do to make something better than it is. Put yourself out there to be a help rather than a hindrance. Smile. Better yet, watch a silly, dub-step cat video - and laugh. Share your life, share your love and share a better message.

Don't Sell Yourself Short!
Last night I saw a commercial that made me stop and think. A realtor was advertising himself as "half-off". He was determined to convince prospective customers that he was the realtor for them because he was "half-off". Now don't get me wrong. I love a good deal as much as anyone. But the fact that this guy would sell himself short speaks volumes; not to mention what it implies about his fellow realtors.
Having worked with many realtors whom I respect and admire, I know that their hard work and expertise in a very dynamic field is invaluable. That's how it is I decided to become one. I also know that most realtors, the "half-off" realtor included, are good and decent folks who are feeding families and paying bills just the same as everybody else....and keeping up with education, licensing, taxes etc. is not cheap.
A good realtor spends hours studying and researching to help his client find the right place at the right price, or helping his client sell at the right time at the right price. Don't sell yourself short by using a realtor just because he is "half-off". Find the realtor who is right for you. If it's not me, I'll help you find the one who is right for you. And you will end up saving in the long run.
