The More Snow, the More Life Lessons
Here in Oklahoma we are seeing record snowfall. As if 21 inches of beautiful, fluffy white stuff wasn't enough, as I look out my window we are seeing another 5 inches accumulation. Yesterday I spent most of the day shoveling my driveway, and as I was so diligently working I began to think of how this back breaking work applies to life. As in most situations, nothing comes for free. Hard work brings a sense of pride and accomplishment. I have had a life experience within the MLM Industry that can truly apply to this. We often heard within our team "Friends do what friends do." Now think about that...... if you had a friend that was addicted to prescription drugs or was an alcoholic, would you join them because "Friends do what friends do?" I don't think so. I will always choose to be my own person and let Christ in me guide my every thought and action. So many people are led by fear and manipulation and I am determined to set a new standard within MLM. No smoke and mirrors, no dog and pony show and no three ring circus. It is a wonderful industry when you are partnered with others who share your same vision. Helping others by putting their needs above yours, is a key factor in seeing success. So as I look at my driveway (which in now covered with snow again) I can remember the pride I felt yesterday that I shoveled it myself. Many people in my neighborhood paid $40 or more to have their driveways cleared. Feels good to know I have an extra $40 in my pocket and that I did it myself.
