Love.
Amidst all my life's pursuits, love has been the main source of fuel for various aspects of my journey: my career in real estate, my love for sports, and the deep affection I hold for my wife and daughter.
Love for Real Estate
My love for real estate goes beyond transactions and properties. It's about creating real relationships, understanding people's aspirations, and helping them achieve their goals. Every contract I write, every deal I negotiate, and every luxury property I tour is a testament to my passion and dedication to this field. The willingness to learn and adapt plays a crucial role, shaping my love for the game of real estate. It's the love for the craft that drives me to strive for excellence, not just for myself but for those I serve.
Love for Sports
Sports have been a significant part of my life, shaping my character and influencing my approach to business. From the lessons of competition, resilience, teamwork, and leadership, the love for sports has become an intrinsic part of who I am. Even today, I continue to indulge in playing and competing, finding joy in coaching, and sharing my sports knowledge with younger generations. This love for sports seamlessly translates into the business world, empowering me to compete for leads, negotiate deals, and navigate through the challenges that come my way.
Love for My Family
The love I feel for my wife, Erin, and daughter, Charlee, is a love that defies description. It's an unconditional love that constantly inspires me to be a better person. I strive to demonstrate a love that is reliable and consistent, setting an example for Charlee on how a man should love and treat a woman. Erin has brought immeasurable positive change into my life, pushing me to believe in myself and embrace healing from past traumas. She has taught me that love begins within and radiates outward.
Love for Myself
Learning to love myself has been a journey of self-discovery and growth. It’s a continuous work in progress. It's about accepting my imperfections, acknowledging my strengths and weaknesses, and allowing myself to be human. For a long time, I hid my insecurities and sought to be perfect for others. But as I've grown, I've realized that true love starts within. Loving myself has empowered me to love others deeply, building stronger and more meaningful relationships.
In conclusion, love is the constant that holds our life together. Love is genuine, imperfect, and a commitment to growth. It's a daily choice to put in the work, weather the ups and downs, and grow together. Love is not always easy, but unquestionably worth the effort. Just as in real estate, where one must withstand the market's ebbs and flows, or in sports, where victory comes after battling adversity, love requires persistence and determination. The storms of uncertainty and challenges may shake our foundations, but when we endure and persist, we will ultimately find ourselves basking in the sunlight, grateful for the journey, and coming out stronger for having persevered.
