Defeated

I feel so defeated right now I'm crying. I know I have to stop feeling this way but for some reason it just plagues me. I found this great house for my clients that I knew would be an amazing fit. It was perfect. We were the first people in the house (7AM Friday!) and we put a very very strong offer in. We did everything right, but alas, they had several offers in by the end of the first day and they took an offer that had a higher down payment than what we had. Rats. It's just hard to break that news to them because I know in that they would be so freaking happy in that house. I know I can't feel like this come Open House time because it will reflect in my presentation. Ah, SNAP OUT OF IT. I don't know why I take this personally but for some reason I feel like I let them down although I know there is absolutely nothing I could have changed. I can't give them more of a down payment or lie in the contract that they have a higher down payment. It just kills me though. I have to get over this because it will happen again, it has happened before, and I cannot let this affect how I interact with people today. I cannot feel defeated, or a failure, or that I let my clients down but I can't help but feel that way. Yikes. Where is the though skin when you need it. I think I am just so over tired that my emotions are so extreme right now. RG, if I get beat on the river this week expect explosive outbursts and stream of tears. Mama mia.
