Are Your Principles Aligned?

It has been three years since I joined the team at CityPlat, and the funny thing is real estate wasn't even top of mind when I looked at my next "chapter." Though it wasn’t originally where my head was, everyone looking from the outside-in always thought that would be my path.

Now reflecting, I see how accurate that was. We tend to want to find our passion instantaneously. In actuality, this is a process of discovery and learning.

It doesn’t have to be an extreme or time-consuming search– walking down every possible path to discover it is not the journey for you.

Simply start thinking about what brings you joy in your everyday life and derive the fundamental reason you enjoy it. In my case, I realized what I like best is building something from the ground up. Clearly, real estate provides me with that opportunity every day.

After my reflection, I needed to channel my energy into an opportunity with which my values aligned. The core principles at CityPlat could not align better with my philosophy toward business and this is what creates a strong foundation for us.

- Commitment to Growth

- Passion for Real Estate

- Authentic Camaraderie

- Tenacious Persistence

- Humble Confidence

With that said, consider where your core principles lie and how you are living them day in and day out.

One thing I've learned is that when you are aligned with your principles and practice them daily, you can reach true "flow."
