You’re Rich Man!
This is the time of year that many of us are prompted to take a step back and look at
what we have to be thankful for. For a moment, I would like for you to pause from what
you are doing as you read this and look around you. You may be at home with your
family, or sitting at your desk at work. Wherever you are, just pause. Do you have a roof
over your head? Do you have clothes and shoes to wear? Is there food in the fridge? Is
there hot and cold running water? Do you have electricity? If it’s cold out, can you turn
on the heat? I know we consider these as basic necessities and for many of us they are.
We have WAY more than these basic essentials. Yet, many of us aren’t paying attention
to the fact that these bare necessities aren’t available to every human being on this
planet. Some live destitute of clean running water to drink or even to bathe. Some don’t
have a loaf of bread or anything to eat. Remember when the storm came through our
area not too long ago and many of us were without power and we realized how
dependent we were on electricity for everyday conveniences? Some families around the
world live without electricity as a normal way of life. Some have to walk miles just to get
‘dirty water’ to drink. Many of us were born in this country where these conveniences
are taken for granted. I recommend you consider how things could be if you were stuck
in a place without them. Compared to those that are less fortunate…You’re Rich Man!
Be grateful for what you have regardless of your circumstances and status in life. It
could be worse. Someone else would LOVE to be in your shoes. Literally. Be grateful
THINK, FEEL, ACT
What we think about tends to have a serious effect on how we feel. For example if you
got bad news this morning, you could in the moment feel a certain way. And if all day all
you did was dwell or think on that bad news and the ‘what ifs’ that go along with that
bad news, you would start to feel a certain way. Those feelings you have on the inside
will start to show on the outside. Your tone of voice, your body language, your response
to others that you come across that day…all of it will be the external manifested actions
that show that you are being affected by the bad news you received earlier that day.
Unfortunately for some, that is a normal way of life. Spending time thinking about how
this life and the cares of this life are unfavorable. I’m not saying that life can’t feel
unfavorable and sometimes even unbearable. But I can also say that if you can find a
way to think on things that are true - honest - just - pure - lovely - of good report…YOU
WILL FEEL differently. You must have a focus on something that has a more valuable,
even more eternal weight to you than the current situation. I challenge you the next time
you feel like your situation is so bad and that no one else knows what you are going
through…to regroup and refocus your thinking and no it won’t be easy and yes it will
take a lot of effort. But try it. Let me know how it worked. But don’t just do it once…do it
every time you feel your thoughts dwelling on negativity and that negativity stirs up fear,
doubt, worry, concern, anxiety, and even torment. Also, stay away from negative people
that stir up and feed into the thoughts you are trying to escape. One of our Core Values
here at Kirk & Company is to ‘Stay Positive’. Trust me, I’ve walked the walk before I’ve
talked the talk.
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is Making a
Difference Today and for Tomorrow
Another way you can help someone deal with difficult situation is to partner with us to
put a smile on the face of some little ones who could use it most. We’d like to partner
with you in an even more significant way to give a much-needed break to some children
who are putting in a level of work that’s hard to imagine. As part of our mission
statement, we donate a portion of our income from homes sales to St. Jude Children’s
Research Hospital. Many don’t know that they lead the way the world understands,
treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Families
NEVER receive a bill from the hospital for treatment, travel, housing, or food - because
they believe all a family should worry about is helping their child live! Donations make
this possible. So, YOUR REFERRALS DO HELP THE KIDS. MAKING A DIFFERENCE
We are able to donate our resources to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, from the
news about us being spread by YOU! So when you hear me say, “YOUR REFERRALS
HELP THE KIDS…” they really do! Over the last 2 decades of helping almost a
thousand families sell their home and/or buy another, we have met some wonderful,
loving, caring people. People like you! As we move forward, please know we are
extremely thankful for you being a special part of our business. Thank you in advance
for your referrals! The best number to reach me at is 219-281-8502. Just as
Thanksgiving traditions inspire us to live with open hearts and generous spirits, your
simple act of kindness today can brighten someone else’s journey. I hope this month’s
newsletter inspires you to carry forward the warmth of the season by helping those you
know step confidently into their next chapter while supporting a truly worthy cause. With
all my appreciation, Be Your Best, Do Your Best, Have Your Best! L. Kirk Kirk &

others, and you will Have More to Give! (100-10=104...I know it sounds backwards but
believe me that’s how it goes!
