Prologue: June 30th was the end of my Mary Kay year ~ the first full year I'd been with this incredible, supportive company. Last January I set the audacious goal of Princess Court of Sales ... $20,000 in retail sales (that's a lotta lipstick!) Working hard, working consistently, my goal was in sight, when my son got very sick and I took off the entire month of May. It looked like perhaps next year was more realistic.
My amazing director, Susan Dale, sent me a simple card reminding me that it was not impossible. And though my eyebrows shot up, it got under my skin ... maybe I could do this ... why not? ... of course I can!
~ Focus on Success ~
What happened when I changed my perception? By believing something was attainable, it became so. Suddenly I had greater confidence, and that passion spilled over to all my friends and customers. We all were a part of something big and exciting, and we wanted to win!
Did you hear that perspective shift? We wanted. We worked. and so, We succeeded.
Life does not happen in a vacuum. How I think, what I focus on, gets generated! But only with your help. When I believed, you joined in! (Now, I've lived long enough and had enough tragedy to understand that the wild-hair meteorite comes crashing through the roof from time to time. Still, how I've responded to those crises ... that is what sets the tone, not the event itself.)
You know, this is one of those self-evident kinds of truisms; but even though it had rumbled around inside my head , these last two weeks rang it home like a iron bell. Susan believed, so I believed, so a hundred other people believed, so it came to be.
It was stunning. Humbling.
I am honored to be a part of such a thing.
We are all connected.
What wonders shall we create next?
