Kindness from strangers!!! 8/10/09
I started a Murfreesboro Tennessee Facebook page a few weeks ago. My goal was to get 500 people on it. The goal was to learn more about Murfreesboro , share a message a day that would inspire and get my name out there. I am a Real Estate agent. My children depend on me to be a great Realtor so I can provide for them. I wanted the city to get to know who I am and what I believe in. So the Murfreeboro, Tennessee Facebook page was born. Along the way I have learned so much about this great city. Never dreamed we would have almost 9,000 fans of Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
I learned
1) I am addicted to Murfreesboro, Tennessee ( I love the history, old photos and the people for the most part). It has made me very proud of the city I call home.
2) The city has rich history and tradition- I love the old photos
3) The people of Murfreesboro care a great deal for their city
4) A small percentage of people are cynical and believe you are always out for no good. You could give them a 100.00 a bill and they would complain it was not in twenties.
5) There are people who will prop you up when others try to tear your ideas down. When someone knocks you down there are special people who will remind you that you can make a difference. When people are cynical or non believers there are people who defend you and remind us our ideas are worthwhile.
6) I learned the kindness of a stranger is far greater than any amount of money. If you are reading this I am almost certain you are one of those people.
I am glad I started that Murfreesboro Tennesssee Facebook page (not for business) because I met people like you along the journey.
Never let anybody try to put your fire out(whatever your passion may be). That passion is special and makes us alive.
If somewhere along the way somebody found a way to put your passionate fire out. Let me help you get it started by saying whatever your hopes and dreams are I BELIEVE IN YOU and YOUR DREAMS and I BELIEVE YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH WHATEVER YOU SET OUT TO ACCOMPLISH.
To those that encouraged me personally- Thank you, you are a gift from God!
If you can dream it, you can be it!
