One Action at a time
There is always someone who needs help. A friend, family member or better yet stranger.
I am always bogged down with my own thoughts that I forget to listen to someone else. Today, I listened to a stranger tell me their story. I was moved by how much this person has endured in such a short span of time. It also made me feel blessed with what I have.
I am thankful to be alive and breathing.
Yesterday, I woke up feeling sad and a bit lonely. I tried not to dwell too much on it but soon realized that it was impacting my whole day. I wrestled the sadness in me with my positive attitude almost every second. However it lead me to more dead ends. I went for a walk in the afternoon to bask in the Autumn sun. A small bird caught my attention. Feet stopped, eyes gazing, feelings lost, it became apparent to me that this feeling shall pass.
Sometimes you get caught up in the moment with sadness or anything else. Its hard not to. So just remind yourself that “This too shall pass”.
You will get told No a million times. Maybe bajillion times. But remember that every No is one step closer to Yes. Case and point; I called about 15 people who hung up on me until the 16th one was interested in talking with me.
I had walked into a meeting with a negative attitude. I was judging a book by it’s cover. I pushed through the negativity and the meeting turned into an excellent one.
I was extremely nervous with my first sales call. I saw how the other sales people were making amazing phone calls and getting meetings. I felt extremely dejected. Instead of thinking “They are more confident” I am now repeating “I am confident in me”.
