How to REALLY LIVE

I just realized tonight that as a Realtor I am taking a class tomorrow afternoon on commercial real estate.  I will be attending the national Re/Max Convention in Las Vegas in less than two weeks where I will take many, many more classes.  Some classes are on technology, marketing, networking, etc.

It dawned on me tonight how hard many of us work to get CE credits, obtain designations and achieve in our choosen business.  I have taken many, many classes in my 28+ year career to build my real estate business.

In all my years in business I have never taken a class on how to live...I mean REALLY LIVE.  Thank God for my good Realtor friend Toni Judy that sent me this video tonight.  It is a little long but believe me, you will want to watch the whole video and it will touch you like nothing else.

George - I had seen this before, but watched it in its entirety again.  My favorite line from the whole thing ... Experience is what you get when  you don't get what you want.

And the part about People vs. Things.....makes us all step back and reorganize our thoughts.

Thanks for sharing.  See you soon.

George...I had seen the Oprah show that day.  However, I just watched it again.  Thank you for providing the opportunity (thanks to you, Toni Judy, Goerge's friend).

You mentioned that it might be a little long but well worth it.  It just shows that sometimes we are doing way too much if 12 minutes might be a little long for something as worthwhile as Randy Pausch's last lecture.

It is a very important video to watch.

Take good care,

Kathleen

This is one of those talks that puts our lives in perspective.  We ought to live like there is no tomorrow.  We should all want to be like Randy when we grow up.

George - As usual, you've got me in tears.  I've sent this to both my boys.  What a wake up call for so many.  I think I'll watch this a few more times - especially when I'm having a hard day.  I think we forget just how much we have to be thankful for.
Posted by Debbie White (Prudential Southeast Alaska Real Estate) about 1 year ago

Hi George - that really is a powerful video.  I saw Randy interviewed several times, and each time it hit me just as hard.  We do all need to learn to really live, as you said.  This man sends us such an incredible lesson, and thank you for sharing it here with us.

George, you will get to meet my daughter at Desiree's luncheon. It was the pole dancing that made her decide. I am so jealous, she will meet all my AR friends and she doesn't blog. Maybe you can help her get going.

Wow, this was such a powerful message... Moved me to tears and touched me deeply. What a great men. I could see at the end of his speech, on his face, the pain. It was a testament of a life and a meaningful good-bye! What a moment.

Wow!  If we would just realize that we should live today as if it were the last day of our life! Why is it we have to wait for "bad news" to wake us up?!  I'm glad I know Jesus & have a hope, after this life!
