It's Saturday afternoon and I am doing my daily routine of getting caught up on business and writing emails before we head out for a family vacation by the lake.
As I sit here, I do my very best to be grateful for all I have, for my kids, for all of you and everything in life. I still want you to know that obstacles and challenges will always pop up no matter what level of success you achieve. And more and more in my life I realize that success is truly about your perception of situations. Challenges don't stop coming at you, you just get better at how you process and deal with them.
A great quote by Winston Churchill, "the definition of success is going from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm" could not be more in line with reality.
When I was young and saw someone successful or "rich" I tended to think they found an easier path, were born under a lucky star or were handed the keys to easy street. I now realize that 99.9% of the time that is not the case. Huge obstacles, monster challenges, getting through failures, personal problems, struggles and so much more was all part of the ingredients to their success. No one is immune to struggle, worry, disappointment, feeling at times it could never work for you, being scared and all the feelings you may feel at one point in your life. Maybe all the time.
So back to the subject line and wishing you a early happy 4th of July. Why this note now? Well, first of all, it is a wonderful holiday and I am proud to be an American and I truly believe with all the garbage and tough times we are experiencing, we still live in the greatest country in the world. But this message was constructed because as I sit here I realize that the 4th is just about the half way point of the year. And with that I am not sure where you are half way through 2010.
You may be celebrating success at this half way point of 2010. On the other hand, you could be dealing with a pile of crap in your life- from personal, to business, finances. I want the second group to listen up right here, right now. Life can be tough, I have had and still deal with my fair share. But more than me, so many, if not most of my countless list of successful Arbonne friends have been where you are, felt the way you feel. But they found the strength, realized they were the only ones who could do it for them and their family and pushed on. The results were amazing for them. And no matter what you are thinking right now, those results can be amazing for you.
Over this holiday weekend do your best to focus on a bigger better future for yourself. The heck with doing your best, just do it. Trick yourself by imagining it is all going to work out as you hope. Let yourself dream and pretend it is not a dream, rather your reality that is just a hop, skip and a jump away.
