Were YOU a Hero Today?

Looking back nearly two years, the vision of passengers standing on the wings of a plane, floating in a freezing river, still shines brightly in my mind. Much has been said of the pilot (C.B. ‘Sully’ Sullenberger), including these words by New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg:

“His brave actions have inspired people in this city and millions around the world.”

It is one thing to say he was ‘doing his job’, but to glide a jet with double-engine failure to a smooth water-landing and make two trips through the plane to be sure all passengers were out before he exited the aircraft is a bit more than that for me. In a moment when panic reigned supreme, he put the lives of 154 others ahead of his own.

Were you a hero today?

While our jobs may not seem as exciting, or important…we still have the opportunity to put the needs, and the peace of mind, of others ahead of our own. 

As members of the real estate community, you can be a hero to someone in need, every day. People are looking to you to help make sense of what could be the most pressure-packed and stressful  transactions of their lives!

Did you return a phone call today to calm the nerves of a client? Did your dedication help put a smile on someone’s face, and a feeling of comfort in their heart?

Did you make the world a better place for a complete stranger today?

If so, YOU might be a hero to someone who desperately needed one.

Feels pretty good, doesn’t it?
