Sometimes it's difficult to stand where we are supposed to be when a whole
crowd of people around you are doing it differently. I'm new in an MLM
venture. I've tried network marketing with health products three other times before
and got stuck at the major point of it all, sharing it with others. This time
I'm moving through that, I'm finding ways to share authentically, and approach
as an educator, not a sales person. But I am going cautiously through this fragile
breakthrough while some others are plunging right in. However, I'm still
approaching it differently from other people in my cross group and, as has happened
most of my life, I seemingly stand alone, having to hunt for the people who are
doing it in the way I envision. That doesn't make anyone right or wrong.
But I had to take time to sort my reasons. I looked at where I am the happiest.
I looked at where I am the least happy. I looked at my outstanding strengths
I looked at my undeveloped possibilities I looked at my successes
I looked at where I am less-than-successful I looked within to my innermost
calling. I stay true to what makes me happy. What gives me joy. What offers
me nourishment. Where I effectively touch the lives of others. And I stand
tall in the perfect place for me to be. There are others out there who
are doing it similar to the way I want to but they are not in my immediate vicinity.
I have to go find them. Be with like-minded people where there is mutual support.
Don't follow the crowd unless you want to. Don't take it personally if
they don't want to do it your way. Don't try to force yourself into something
that does not call to you or feel effective for you. Honor how others do it and
honor yourself for how you do it. Copy what you can, keep what works, and discard
the rest. There is no right or wrong way to do anything. However, there certainly
is only one way that is uniquely yours. Find it and do it your way! ©
