What is important to you? Remember the story of the golf balls, pebbles, sand, and chocolate? The golf balls represent the important things in your life…these things vary from person to person. No one can tell you what they are for you. No one. The sand represents the miniscule things in life…things that we can let go…at least for a little while.
You have to go thru your world and decide what are your golf balls and what is the sand. Then you can set your priorities.
The chocolate is the soothing icing on the cake, so to speak. Yes, we all want to earn more money…the economy is awful for most. But money is NOT everything…yes, it makes things SO much easier. But it is not the end all and be all…at least not to me. Sure I want lots of it but there are more things in life that give me the warm & fuzzies.
I read something on a friend’s Facebook page today…he asked why people get involved in network marketing and his personal reply was to help others. A long debate with another friend of his ensued and in reading it, I could see both sides. The debater cited that people join marketing to make money, plain and simple. He went to say that people saying they do it to help others are lying. I DO want to help others…but I also want & need to help my family financially. The difference is that I will not compromise my values to make a buck…some others will. See, some of my golf balls are integrity, ethics, character, honesty, love…these are things I will not compromise for anything.
I have always said that all products do not work for all people and all companies do not offer solutions for all people. I stand by that today. My company may not be a good fit for you. That’s OK. We can still be friends. I will cheer you on when you have accomplishments and I hope you will do the same for me. But to bash a company or someone’s ethics or their truth is insane. It’s OK if you don’t buy into what they are saying and sometimes people need to be called out on stuff…but to bash someone “publicly”…not my cup of tea. It only makes you look bad most of the time. If a product or company doesn’t work for you, fine…tell your story, truthfully, but leave the name-calling at the door. It is silly.
So, decide what’s important for you and make an action plan to accomplish your dreams…even if it’s to attend more of your child’s sporting activities or take a painting class (which, BTW I am going to do this week…yay, me). The point is to set your priorities and handle them without letting what others say deter you.
I wish you a day of abundance.
PEACE
