Adversity Breeds Success. Those that know me have heard me share the thought, “Adversity breeds success,” more than once throughout the years. I am sure that as I talk to real estate professionals and entrepreneurs from every corner of the globe, I’ll no doubt have an opportunity to say it again. It is one of those life lessons that begs to be shared and a concept that can provide hope for people who find themselves struggling against the challenges before them.

Nietzsche, Napoleon Hill, my “big brother” Zig Ziglar, cyclist Lance Armstrong and many of the “best of the best” weigh in on this topic. Why? Well, in Nietzsche's words it’s “That which does not kill us makes us stronger.” He was right, of course. While it may not feel like it at the time, the adversity we face in our life becomes the very core of the well of strength we drink from when times are tough. Look to some of the greatest minds, leaders and motivators throughout history. Almost without exception, you’ll find that the lives of these extraordinary people were often fraught with adversity and failures.

What do all of these “greats” have in common? They saw past the obstacles in their path and kept walking in the direction of their dreams, goals and beliefs. Trust me when I say, “You can too!” Remember to stick to the dance, three steps forward and two steps back and invite the following three “truths” into your life:

The trick to getting over those mountains that sometimes stand before us is to first see them for what they really are. Then knowing they won’t last and knowing that there is much to be grateful for in life if we choose to look and listen helps us keep the balance while keeping things in perspective. I wish you success as you make your way, and challenge you to steer confidently through the adversity. After all, as Og Mandino would say, “This too shall pass.” It always does. Take care!

Recently, Floyd announced his participation in the upcoming “Scents for Soldiers” event June 17, 2008 from 9:30am-3:30pm Eastern Time in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

Approached by South Carolina REALTOR® and “Scents for Soldiers” founder, Christina Shealy, Floyd was moved by her organization’s efforts to bring much-needed comfort, convenience and specialty items to our wounded soldiers recovering at the Walter Reed Medical Center. All net proceeds will be donated to the troops.

Floyd will be presenting Tough Market Strategies and excerpts from his popular, results-producing seminar “Only the Tough Survive.”

“It is a privilege for Floyd and our entire organization to take part in an event that betters the lives of our nation’s heroes,” shared company representative Gale Carlos. “As a former Navy man, Floyd takes extraordinary pride in doing whatever he can, whenever possible for our troops,” added President Mike Pallin.
