Inspiration and Drive Comes from the Heart - Giving Your Best

Do you have the drive to survive, to win, to press on toward the goal? Are you one that sometimes just wants to throw in the towel and quit? It doesn't matter who you are or what you do, there will always be weight that is carried on your shoulders. Do you have what it takes to meet the challenge, and meet or exceed your goals?

This video will definitely put things into perspective. Prepare to be touched and inspired!

Sometimes we can be our own worst enemy. We see things differently and believe in ourselves less than others believe in us. Maybe a blind fold once in a while with a few good friends supporting us is all we need to see know that ANYTHING in life is possible. Maybe we should take our eyes off the goal, and put our hearts into it instead.

Inspiration and Drive Do Come from the Heart - Are You Giving Your Best?  Don't quit!

Awesome - and your words are true as could be. We doubt ourselves and think others can do miracles. Thanks for this. You have inspired me. See you in NY.

Brad, Cool Clip this kid Brock did a phenomenal job after it was too hard and started to burn...lesson for all of us...It's a good thing he didn't have to carry me...I would have put him in traction.

Blog-N-Roll Brad...

I know you have some idea what I'm going to say to this. But, I should say it anyway :)

Winners never quit. Winnners never lose. They just alter their reality to suit their needs at any given time :)

On second thought, you probably didn't see that one coming :)

TLW...ROAR!

A winner never quits, and a quitter never wins.  Putting on the blindfold now and seeing how far I can go....   :-)

Brad, you rock! Yep, keep driving, give it everything you can, colleagues will watch in awe but just continue, don’t quit, I am the most influential member of my team, and yes, I CAN TOO!

Just got this great inspirational email from Andrea Kramer @ Prudential:

Happy New Year and do not forget to smile:)
It costs nothing, but creates much.

None are so rich they can get along without it, and none so poor but are richer for its benefits.

It creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in a business, and is the countersign of friends.

 

Thanks Andrea~

I have no back up plan.  Success in Real Estate is my only option. That clip leaves me speachless!

What a great video and great way to start the new year.  Let's get our blind folds on and not limit ourselves from what we hear and see from the media.

Brad,

Thanks for the powerful video.  It's amazing what we have the ability to do when we push ourselves, even just a little.

Very inspirational!  Thank you!

Posted by Bridget Cella, e-Pro Realtor (Re/Max Connection) over 2 years ago

Brad, Thanks for the inspiration.  It is amazing how our mind, when not in unison with our heart, can lead us astray.  Such an interesting way that we (humans) are made. ----Gloria

Posted by Gloria Todor and Doug Durren - Delaware County PA Real Estate (Century 21 Absolute Realty ) over 2 years ago

Brad this gave me chills fro the top of my head to my toes the entire video....Powerful..thank you..we do need to remember we are leaders to each other. 

We are each others mentors, what we say, what we think, our attitude, our drive or lack of can make a difference to  everyone we are in contact with..our friends, our clients, our co-workkers, here on AR.

  We can inspire on or take them down...why nor inspire?  Everyone wins.

Thank you so much this was a wonderful New Years message.  I wish for you and your family all you wish for.......thank you for all the inspiration you share here in the Rain

So inspiring. Our Broker gave each Agent a copy of this movie and every time I see this clip it's like watching it for the first time again - so powerful! Thanks Brad, we needed to see it again for the start of 2010.

Posted by Lee & Carol Barbour, Realtors® Murphy, NC Homes For Sale (Mountain Living Team - Coldwell Banker High Country) over 2 years ago

We often have so much more inside that we don't even try to tap because we just don't think we can...  Untapped potential...

Posted by Lane Bailey - REALTOR & Car Guy (Century 21 Results Realty) over 2 years ago

OK Brad, you've got me pumped for the rest of the year.  Thanks for sharing this clip.

Posted by Gabe Sanders, Stuart Florida Real Estate (Martin County Residential Homes, Condos and Land Sales) over 2 years ago

My husband and I loved this movie! We were so inspired and needed to watch it at a very difficult time with his business (mortgage banker). I think the one thing that is going to come out of this difficult economy is who has the most guts and can persevere through the most difficult times. I want the ones that don't quit on my team. Thank you for sharing this with us!!

Very timely as 1/2 was National Motivation and Inspiration Day.  I wanted to blog about it, but wasn't motivated enough.  I'll reblog about now - thanks for the push!

Posted by An Marshall (Prudential Network Realty - St. Augustine) over 2 years ago

Wow,  what an inspirational clip and it couldn't have come at a better time.  Amazing what blindfolding and hard core encouragement can do for us when we don't believe in something ourselves that we are capable of!  Brad,  Thank you for sharing this.

Posted by Heather Fitzgerald | Indiana REALTOR Greenwood Indiana Real Estate (REALTY WORLD-Harbert Company, Inc.) over 2 years ago
This is exactly how real estate feels sometimes. Being strong means combining head and heart and the strong will survive! I'll admit I have my bad days but I have to keep going. I have not seen this movie, but will be sure to see it soon! Thanks Brad!
