Knowing is not enough; we must apply.
Willing is not enough; we must do.

Quote of the week 3/4/07 March 4, 2007
You may be wondering why I chose this one. In the last week, I have felt like my business has been moving at a snail’s pace, and it has frustrated me. I want more, and I want it now. However, I am not willing to compromise myself for it. I will continue to work hard, even if it means moving slowly. No one said I have to make it to the top today. I would rather do it slowly, and correctly, than do it fast and wrong. Things will happen when they are supposed to, not necessarily when I want them to. Patience has not always been my strong point, but I am learning that it is a virtue that I want to possess.
Quote of the Week 2-25-07 February 25, 2007
“Those who discourage your dreams likely have abandoned their own.”
I think that we are all aware there are always going to be people that choose to negative about the choices others make. Just last night, I was told “I just think it’s going to be hard for you to do well at selling Mary Kay.” Now, if I was a negative person, I probably would have continued the conversation with all of the things that ARE hard about this. Luckily, I’m not that type of person.
No one said this would be easy, at least not to me. The best things in life are rarely easy. If all the good things were easy to accomplish, everyone would have them. Sometimes you have to actually WORK (gasp) to accomplish the things you want most out of life. My opinion, if you have to work for it, you appreciate it more when you have it.
I think just about anyone who is reading this is aware of the negativity that some feel for Mary Kay. Is it justified? In their minds it is, so who are we to bash them for how they feel? It works both ways. If we enjoy being in our “Pink Bubble” we don’t want them bursting it. If they are thankful their bubble was popped, good for them. We shouldn’t let it bring us down. Negativity can be contagious, if you CHOOSE to let it be. I choose to not let it get to me. I choose to turn a negative into a positive. I choose to dream big. These are my choices, no one else can make them for me. What do you choose?
