Have you ever met a person that seems like they just cannot find their niche in life? It seems like everyone knows someone that tends to wander through their life searching for the perfect job or the perfect mate. My younger sister was like this. She was always searching for something better than what she had. No matter what job she was doing she was looking for something better to come along.

My sister was in and out of more relationships than I could keep track of. It was a chore for the rest of the family to try to remember the names of the dates that she brought around. My brother called several of her dates by the wrong name. I never bothered learning her work number because it seemed to change every few months. She started moving to different apartments also. My mother confided in me that she and dad were really concerned that their baby daughter was not able to find her niche. One day my sister called me and announced that she was going to start selling real estate. I asked her if she did not need to be licensed to do this. She told me that she had been working on getting her license for several months and that she recently got it. She was going to be selling real estate for a major company. She was very excited about this new opportunity. Even though she had been through multiple jobs I could tell that this time seemed to be different for her.


 Quote of the Day
The comfortable estate of widowhood is the only hope that keeps up a wife’s spirits.
—John Gay (1685–1732)



Several months after my sister started selling real estate I called her to have lunch together. We met at one of our favorite restaurants. She told me that for the first time in her life she was satisfied with a job. She was not looking for something else because she could do so many things selling real estate. She could list commercial properties as well as multiple family dwellings and single family dwellings. Some of her listings were small modest homes in small towns and others were multi-million dollar mansions in the country. She was learning more about land values so that she could start listing building sights and hunting parcels. She had started dating a contractor that was in charge of a development where she had several homes listed. She shared with me that she had never felt this way about someone before and she thought he was the mate she had been looking for. It took her several years but it seems that selling real estate was the niche my sister needed to find. My parents are thrilled that she is finally at peace with her life.
