Day 115: Rude Awakening

So even though I hit another milestone within my company, I gotta step up my game Big Time!

We all strive to become better humans and for perfection within ourselves.

I started my business Feb 18, 2017 and so far I got 4 teamies (gals working with me, whom I like to consider sisters) actually in my company we do call ourselves Y-sisters = Younique Sisters.

Okay this is what I've realized, even though I got 4 Teamies now, I can't rest and sit back and enjoy the ride.

I gotta work harder and show "my sisters" how it's done. 

I have to lead by example.

Same like in marriage, once you sign on the dotted line, you still gotta work at your relationship.

So many times married people say to people whom are dating; "if you don't like what you see in your relationship now, it won't get better once you are married."

I tend to give up when things get hard in life, except within marriage, I would like to consider myself a good wife.

I like to be old fashioned and take care of my husband, meaning cleaning house, doing laundry, cooking etc.

I love being married and I feel flattered that one guy on this planet signed on the dotted line just for me, out of all the ladies in this world.

This makes me feel like a winner.

But we still have to work at our relationship.

Same like in business, we gotta keep working hard and keep re-discovering ourselves.

Being creative and pushing through the fear.

The adrenaline rush you feel when things go great and others want to join YOUR team out of all the other teams, is a spectacular feeling.

Finally I found my passion.

What's your passion?

Day 114: Life is NOT an emergency!

Life isn't an emergency.

Life can be an enormously rewarding experience; a totally fulfilling and creative experience where virtually every activity is seen as yet another wonderful opportunity. 

Although it's often treated as one, life is not an emergency; it's not meant to be constantly postponed while we anxiously rush around and attempt to 'get everything done'.

Life is meant to be lived, one moment at a time.

Whether you are 18 years old or 80 years old, male or female, dark or light, rich or poor, you are given the same gift and it's administered in exactly the same way.

The gift is life itself and it's given to us one precious moment at a time.

Life isn't an emergency, it's an adventure.

Once you commit yourself to seeing life this way you will be amazed at how quickly your life will change for the better.

You will notice the beauty instead of the ugliness, the caring instead of the non-caring, and the grace instead of the misfortune.

Remember, life is NOT an emergency!

Day 113: Wisdom

Wise people throughout history have been those who saw that while life is real, life's problems are an illusion, they are thought-created. These people know that we manufacture and blow problems way out of proportion through are own ability to think. They also know that if we can step outside the boundaries of our own thinking, we can find the answer we are looking for.

This, in a nutshell is wisdom: the ability to see an answer without having to think of an answer.

Wisdom is the 'ah ha, that's so obvious' experience most of us have had many times.

Few people seem to understand that this voice is always available to us.

Wisdom is indeed your inner sense of knowing.

It is true mental health, a peaceful state of mind where answers to questions are as plentiful as the problems you see when you aren't experiencing wisdom.

It's as if wisdom lies in the space between your thoughts, in those quiet moments when your 'biological computer' is turned off.

Here is an example.

As an intelligent person, your usual pattern is to think and talk about your problems in an attempt to overcome them.

You feel that because your problems are 'real', you are justified in trying to solve them.

On the surface this seems rational, that is, until you realize that problems are thought-related.

In other words, the act of thinking about your problems is the mechanism that keeps them alive and makes them seem real.

To see this another way, try this experience.

Stop reading for a moment and think of a problem in your life.

There it is, right in front of you.

An interesting question to ask yourself is: where was the problem a moment ago, before you thought about it?

It wasn't with you because you weren't thinking about it.

This doesn't mean there aren't issues in  your life that need addressing, but it does suggest that those issues aren't 'problems' unless they are present in your mind.

Day 112: I think YOU are AWESOME!!!

There is only one way to avoid criticism.

Do nothing, say nothing, BE NOTHING.

This is such an amazing quote and super true.

Pleasing everyone doesn't lead to an exciting life.

It's also impossible because everyone has different views.

There will ALWAYS be people out there, who don't agree with you.

When you live to please one person, you disappoint another.

My humble conclusion....live your live according to you!

YOUR dreams

YOUR goals

YOUR hobbies

YOUR passions

YOUR ideal

YOUR beliefs

Don't walk over others in the process.

Be kind.

Have a good heart.

Thank people for their opinions BUT don't let them knock you!

Opinions don't change reality.

They are just opinions.

I think YOU are AWESOME!!!

Day 111: Are you a Duck or an Eagle?

Don't quack like a Duck, but soar like an Eagle.
It's the power of choice.
You can be a Duck or an Eagle.
Ducks quack and complain, Eagles soar above the crowd.
Change your attitude.
If you get up in the morning, expecting to have a bad day, you'll rarely disappoint yourself.
Stop complaining!
It's easy if you try.
Ducks are easy to recognize. They think in Duck-like ways. They spend all day in the Duck pond with their little Duck friends.
Their responses sound like quack, quack, quack as they try to convince others that they are right.
The Ducks often tend to quote the rules or policy manual to try to avoid hard questions or as a reason to avoid solving a problem. Ducks are often guilty of the exact same things that they often quack (complain) about.
Ducks have no idea that soaring above them all the time are Eagles.
Eagles are people who have found success and soar above conflict.
Eagles are optimistic and choose a positive attitude.
Eagles are always aware of the 'Ducks' existence and the dangers that looms within the Duck pond.
Ducks can be very sneaky. They have a way of luring others to join the Duck pond.....this includes Eagles once caught in the pond, Eagles will quack along with the Ducks and can often find it difficult to leave. Some are able to leave immediately....others it may take much longer.
But most Eagles will leave the pond eventually and begin soaring the skies again.
But the majority of Ducks are Ducks.
They will never change, even with extensive counseling or training.
Ducks and Eagles can be nearly found in every situation.
You see them in your offices, homes, churches and organizations.
You see them in families and groups of friends.
You'll encounter them as you go run your errands.
The bank, grocery store, dry cleaner, restaurants, etc.
The Ducks will let you know, how difficult their job is and what an inconvenience you are.
Eagles go above and beyond to provide excellent service....even if it's just with their positive attitude and general likability.
Ducks and Eagles are easy to identify.
Look around. I'm sure you can easily identify who belongs in each group.
However, do you know what group YOU belong in?

Day 110: Let me give you a piece of my mind....

Our days are happier when we give people a bit of our heart, rather than a piece of our mind.

We will rise just by lifting others.

Speak in such a way, that others love to listen to you.

Listen in such a way, that others love to speak to you.

You know it's easy to play the blame game.

Point your finger at someone else right now, you will notice that 4 of your fingers will point right back at you!

Don't play a victim, get over yourself and snap out of it, because if you don't, the only one you bother with that attitude is YOU!

I became a widow very young and I had no idea how to deal with loss.

I failed miserably at it.

I failed forward.

But the reason I got over it, is because I snapped out of it.

I had to.

A woman who walks in PURPOSE doesn't have to chase PEOPLE or OPPORTUNITIES.

Her LIGHT causes PEOPLE and OPPORTUNITIES to PURSUE her.

Leadership is really about making OTHERS better as a result of your presence, and making sure that impact lasts in your absence.

Also work hard at your passions and be YOU!

The right people who belong in your life will come find you and stay.

Do your thing!

You are what you DO, not what you SAY!

We still gotta learn things the hard way but don't ever forget to just treat others how you want to be treated.

When we all support each other, incredible things happen.

And at times just be silent, because that's when the answers will come to you.

To Be Continued.......

Day 109: FEAR!

Never trust your fears, they don't know your strength.

Our fear reveals what we care about the most.

I decided to just fail forward.

No more what if....for me.

I am going only one way in this life and that is to the top.

If you wanna join me, you are welcome.

If not, that's super cool as well.

I sincerely want to get to know people and build genuine friendships.

Yes on the way of course we all stumble upon some "rotten apples" but that's just life!

We are living in 2017 where all the doors are wide open to pretty much do whatever your heart desires.

Social Media is an incredible easy platform.

For so long I have been "behind the scenes" watching others rise to the top.

Why not ME?

I figured if I'm "hanging out" on Social Media anyways why not make money while "hanging out".

I am going to share my story, because my story is Unique to me.

Nobody has MY STORY and that makes me different.

If I can help 1 person with just sharing my story, that will be a blessing to me.

In life you will get chances at things so great, they scare you senseless, because you have no freaking clue how they are going to turn out, but either you jump that chasm and into the fullness of your potential, or you stay behind in Fear's comfy little lair, where you can from a safe distance, watch your dreams on the other side slip away from you.

The choice is yours.

Fears are stories we tell ourselves.

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong, and start being excited of what could go right.

In the end, we only regret the chances we didn't take, relationships we were afraid to have, and the decisions we waited too long to make.

.....To Be Continued.....

Day 108: Manifest Your Destiny

Did you know that journaling about your future can radically change the present?

Dreams really do come true, if you write them down as they've already happened.

Expressing gratitude for things we desire takes away our fears and worries about never having them.

There are so many ways to journal.

You can buy a fancy smancy journal and just start writing.

Personally that didn't really work for me.

I needed some more guidance.

I guess I am a slow learner but once I get going I usually keep going.

Slow and steady.

I found the perfect app on my phone called The Five Minute Journal.

It reminds me twice daily to write in the morning and at night.

In the morning you start out by writing down what you are grateful for.

Next your write down what you will do that day to make it a Fabulous day.

You finish by filling out your daily affirmation.

Then at the end of that day you share 3 amazing things that happened that day.

Completing it by saying how you could have made that day even better.

On top of all this you get a daily quote which you can share with others if you feel they need a little sunshine in their day.

Make this a habit and get very specific.

The world as you have created it, is a process of your thinking.

It can not be changed without changing your thinking.

When you are grateful, fear disappears and abundance appears.

Small, Smart Choices + Consistency + Time = Radical Difference.

You are in competition with no one.

You don't have to play the game better than anyone.

You are just simply trying to be a better person than you were yesterday.

Don't forget YOU are the only YOU there is and will ever be.

Don't deny the world it's one and only chance to bask in your brilliance.

......To Be Continued.....

Day 107: Failing Forward

Through my experience in Network Marketing, I've learned a lot about life, and leadership.

I've made mistakes. I've failed forward. All of the lessons I've learned have refined me and shaped me  into the leader I was created to be. My leadership has grown as I've grown up. Personal and professional growth is one of the greatest gifts this profession has provided me.

In Network Marketing and in life there can be a lot of ego but also a lot of rejection!

Humility is the ability to not be moved by flattery or by criticism.

Remember that confidence and humility are not in conflict with each other.

You can have both at the same time!

Always watch your attitude, don't give energy to a bad attitude.

Be willing to learn, grow, and accept feedback.

Don't compare yourself to others.

When we waste valuable energy comparing ourselves to others, we are overlooking our potential and the opportunity for growth in our own life.

We might be trying to emulate something someone else is doing, and in the meantime missing our own calling because we aren't doing what we are supposed to be doing!

We may have been given a way to do things bigger and better, but perhaps we've missed it as our focus is placed on the wrong things!

We are too distracted to notice the gifts in front of us because we are too busy focusing on what others have been gifted with!

We have to give that up.

Stop struggling, striving, comparing, and competing!

The death of contentment is comparison.

Competition takes you captive.

Focus on YOUR calling!

Exude energy and excitement!

Enthusiasm is a catalyst for success.

It's important that you exude energy and that you are authentic.

Always stay true to yourself!

Keep it real!

....To Be Continued....

Day 106: Are you growing yourself daily?

Taking time for our personal and professional growth provides nourishment for our souls, and it fuels our minds. It makes us more effective for everyone in our lives.
If I could encourage all of you to implement one thing today, it would be to plan to wake up each day and just as you eat breakfast to fuel your body, begin to feed your mind, too!
You can only go as far as you grow!
I like to spend time each morning devoting attention to my personal and professional growth.
It's the perfect way to power-start my day and to prepare myself for new opportunities.
I like to end each day the same way, so I am thinking and believing positive things before my head hits the pillow.
Therefore I don't start or end my day with chaos, e-mails, TV, text messages, etc.
I feed and fuel myself with daily mediation/prayer, reading personal and professional development materials, and listening to positive and uplifting music.
I even fill in the "empty time" when I drive listening to audio books or free podcasts, making my car a "rolling University."
I listen to things that teach me how to become a better person and more effective leader.
I am extremely intentional about my daily self-programming so I am more effective as a wife, friend, sister, daughter and leader.
I realize that my business can only grow as much as I do.
I used to say things like: "Nobody is joining my Team," or "Everyone is quitting."
Wouldn't you know?
That's exactly what was happening!
Through personal development, I learned that your words are seeds.
Words are capable of bringing a harvest in your life - good or bad.
My words were either going to be fertilizer to my growing dream, or they would poison it.
Personal Development took me on a journey into a deep discovery about the power of my thoughts and words.
The day when I made up my mind and began to change my daily declarations, saying: "I have a fast growing team with eager like minded Gals, I became successful.
I am still a work in progress but I am loving this journey and just embracing it all.
......To Be Continued....

Day 105: Get clear on your mission

Focus on how you can serve others and help others throughout their journey.
Even when things get tough, keep going.
Just follow your gut.
What's your mission?
Go above and beyond.
Constantly engage with others.
Be relentless, don't compare yourself with others and keep it simple.
You gotta be consistent.
Don't be pushy but you gotta be assertive.
The journey of an entrepreneur will force us to dig into the depths of who we are,  in order for us to show up and make things happen.
There will be times that we feel super excited and fired up, and there will be times that things feel ridiculously tough and impossible.
This is all part of the process and we need to honor that because there is no way around that.
These tough times are there for a reason.
They help you to fine tune who you are, what you like and what you don't like.
You gotta keep doing what you are doing consistently.
The only way you can go from being down is up.
Last week I had set up and event on my Fit & Fabulous Meet Up Group and would you like to know how many peeps showed up?
Are you sitting down?
And please don't be jelly....
1 Fabulous Gal showed up and yes she is super duper cool but obviously it wasn't my intention to have just 1 gal showing up.
This experience kept things real and yes I was disappointed but I did not throw the towel in.
I kept going because we all Fail Forward and that's just life.
Yes I still made sales, no not from that one fabulous gal but it was just a lesson for me to keep going and always keeping Faith.
.......To Be Continued.....

Day 104: Embrace the beginning of your Journey....

Throughout my life I was always in a rush.

Growing up in Holland, I was watching Dallas, Dynasty and Beverly Hills 90210 and I wanted to live  in America and be married to an All American blue eyed handsome fellow like PRONTO!

This didn't happen overnight and looking back I wish I embraced the journey a bit more and enjoyed every minute of the process to making that dream come true.

Yes I did enjoy but I also remember the lonely nights that I cried myself to sleep when I was single.

Dating was hard and fun at times.

You gotta weed out the frogs until you meet your prince.

This goes for everything else in life as well.

I studied and graduated with a Masters in Arabic and now I am a Corporate Flight Attendant and I sell Make-Up and Cosmetics through YOUNIQUE.

My point is: "never say never!"

Keep growing and every beginning is hard and maybe your intentions were different but just go with the flow.

I've experienced loss up close and personal.

I learned a lot from this experience.

I was angry, bitter and negative for a while and played the blame game and felt like a victim.

Eventually there was no other way than snapping out of that mindset and moving on.

Treat people like you want to be treated.

Pay attention to what they say and need.

Don't worry, if you help enough others, your needs will get answered as well.

Surround yourself with like minded people.

Don't apologize for not making time for people who pull you down.

Life is short and as beautiful as you make it yourself.

You will fall, but dust yourself off, and get back up and keep trucking.

Slow and steady.

Don't look back because you are not going backwards but always forward.

Enjoy the ride!

To Be Continued.....

Day 103: Your inner weirdo

First off, what is a weirdo?

According to the Urban Dictionary a weirdo is a person who is considered strange to other people.

This person may do strange things, so this person can be considered a "weirdo"...

I admit that my level of weirdness is above the national average, but I'm comfortable with that.

I rather be weird than boring.

Why fit in when you were born to stand out? (by Dr. Seuss)

As entrepreneurs we need to learn how to embrace the fact that we are all "weird" for doing what we do.

In other words, we are all total weirdo's.

Most "normal" people wouldn't put up with all that it takes to actually build a successful business.

All the rejection, failure, self doubt, hard work, and loneliness when you're first starting out.

Don't get discouraged when all these "normal people" tell you no, or don't see what you see.

It's all a part of the process.

Just start celebrating your "inner weirdo" and get out there, and find other weirdo's just like yourself  to go out and build a freaking empire. 

It only takes a few....

The only thing standing between you and greatness is YOU!

Don't worry about that you might annoy your friends/family with all your posts on social media.

They have the luxury of unfollowing your posts and/or just scrolling past with some eye-rolling.

A lot of times your posts will be ignored.

Or you will just get a few likes/comments.

But you gotta push through that time and keep posting and being consistent and of course you gotta post value to others.

Make sure to put your ego aside, because it's not just about you anymore but it is about finding people who would love your products and actually get use out of them.

Also you gotta keep looking for people just like you, who would be great on your team.

You will find YOUR audience of people who want to see what you have to offer.

And your TRUE friends will stick with you and support you in any way, shape or form.

To Be Continued....

Day 102: Vulnerable

The definition of Vulnerable: 1) Capable of being physically or emotionally wounded.

2) open to attack or damage: assailable vulnerable to criticism.

Lately I've been feeling a bit vulnerable or even paranoid at times.

Because I open up my life on social media for all to watch/judge/criticize.

I always say to myself, I got nothing to hide, no secrets here.

And I am a big believer of being real and treating people how you want to be treated.

I love it when people are real with me.

Don't beat around the bush.

Tell me what you want and let's not waste time on focusing on what you don't want.

So many people tell me lately, oh I wish I could be more like you and just open up but I am shy or I am scared.

But don't you think, that maybe I am scared as well?

But I decided to step out of my comfort zone and out of my sheltered life of hiding.

Why do people just watch others open up and share with the world?

Those people are just wasting their own precious time.

If they decided to stop watching others and getting into action themselves, 1 year from now, they would have success of their own.

The only thing standing between greatness and you is YOU!

Free yourself to just BE YOURSELF!

If you are in Network Marketing aka Multi Level Marketing (MLM), it's called NetWORKmarketing,  not NetSLACKERmarketing.

When you set out to achieve something BIG, there will be FEAR, there will be SELF DOUBT!

If you are not feeling this, you are Super Human!!

Stick with it...push on.

Everything worth having, is worth working for, and the best things in life don't come easy.

Are you Flight or Fight?

Every single person either runs or fights through when things get hard.

Something I have experienced is that no matter which you are, you have the capability  to change it.

Most of us are runners (including myself).

Until I changed my mindset and realized I could fight for anything I believed in....including myself.

.....To Be Continued.....

Day 101: Photoshoot

The location of the photoshoot was at a beautiful home in Oceanside CA.

The crew was all female.

I had face-timed with my friend Marcy the  photographer earlier that morning and she saw Dobby my furry baby and had given me permission to bring him.

My friend and stylist Lyndell was already on location when I arrived.

I had brought some snacks for all of us and a bottle of bubbly.

Marcy broke out her bottle of bubbly first and we got to work.

We had music playing and Lyndell and I spread out all the outfits we had brought.

Marcy was setting up the lights and back drops.

The whole afternoon (we started around 2pm), flew by.

We shared lots of stories and lots of laughs.

Also I love the fact that we all worked really well together.

For one shot, Lyndell and I even swapped clothes.

Thankfully as Marcy, the photographer shot pix with her camera, Lyndell shot pix with my I-phone and her I-phone.

So we had pix instantly to look at.

Even Dobby (my furry baby) made it onto the pix.

After the shoot, Marcy went to dinner with her hubby and Lyndell and I stopped for coffee on our way home.

While having coffee I copied the pix she took on her I-phone to my phone, so she didn't have to go through that trouble herself.

What a fun afternoon that was!

The photoshoot was really just practice for the 3 of us, to see what works and what doesn't.

It's nice to just get creative without any pressure of paying clients.

Hopefully when Marcy edits and develops the pix, she will share them with me, without charging me.

But even if there is a charge, I'm very pleased with the existing I-phone pix already.

...To Be Continued....

Meditation

I always thought Meditation was just for "whackadoodles."

But I was mistaken big time!

Finally I found an app called the 10% happier app on my phone through the app store.

This app is initiated by Dan Harris from Good Morning America and it's specifically designed for skeptics like me and many others.

It is so true that the best ideas come to you in silence.

When we stop running and we take time to sit still and just pause, miracles happen.

Also the fact that guided mediations are so helpful with just our daily routine and our relationships/friendships.

I was always very busy with pretty much doing nothing.

Kind of like running around with my head cut off.

But not much productivity came out of it.

I started looking into time management techniques and so many different ways to get more useful things done.

I finally got to the bottom of my lifelong dilemma.

Meditation, especially when it's done in the morning after waking up, sets the pace for the day.

It really centers you and makes you less of a jerk/biotch.

Because it makes you reflect and go deeper within.

Before losing your cool, it makes you count to 10.

It makes you think twice before you verbally attack another person.

If another can easily anger you, it is because you are off balance with yourself.

We must create sacred time for ourselves to access the deepest, highest, wisest parts of ourselves.

When you can't control what's happening, challenge yourself to control the way you respond to what's happening. That's where your power is!

At some point you just have to let go of what you thought should happen and live in what's happening.

Instead of thinking about solving your whole life, you just think about adding additional good things.

One at a time. Just let your pile of good things grow.

Go with the flow!

To Be Continued.....

Day 99: Fear

Are you a Fighter or a Runner?

I was a runner for the longest time.

I was watching others from the comfort of my own home.

I was just a voyeur.

Gosh I wasted so much precious time by doing that.

Once I got off my lazy ass, and got busy myself, things started to flow.

Yes I was, and I am scared of criticism, I am only human!

But now I do realize that once you start facing your fears, miracles happen.

Not overnight though, and I am slightly obsessed with instant gratification.

You gotta want it bad enough and you gotta love it!

But I have to admit that my passion was never what I am sharing/selling right now.

I was never a make up Gal!

I only use mascara and sometimes lipstick.

But now I opened my eyes to the mission behind what I am sharing/selling.

The mission is to Empower others! 

To uplift and validate and ultimately build self-esteem in women around the world.

Try posting a selfie without make up right now.

That takes guts!

The real you is underneath your make up, but the key is to, find that special make up Younique-ly designed for you.

You gotta bring out your own Younique style.

Trust me you will be surprised how many others will relate to you and want to join your tribe.

Don't be scared to open up.

Just take baby steps and break down for you what you really want to pursue in this lifetime.

Fear is only temporary.

Regret lasts forever!

.....To Be Continued......

Day 98: Check Yourself!

First off nobody is better than anyone else.

We are all wanted on this planet.

There is room for everybody.

Think about the luck we have already had by making it here to this planet.

Your mom and dad had to be with each other at an exact time and I'm sure you know the story about the birds and the bees.

So, now we are all here let's just try to get along and make the best of it.

Start being grateful of the little things because believe it or not, you will create more of that by doing so.

Focus on being positive and happy.

Others like to be around positive and happy people.

Don't you?

Help others throughout the day, like open the door for an other person.

Pull out a chair.

Smile!

A smile goes a long way.

You don't know what other people have been through.

Here is a little example, when my late husband died and I walked out of the hospital being alone for the first time I felt so intensely sad and it was very weird for me to see others laughing and singing and smiling while I was so miserable.

I kind of wanted for all the other people out on the street who crossed my path to be as miserable as I was, because misery needs company.

It took me a while to realize that what had happened to me wasn't  written on my forehead and if you want to dig deeper it didn't really happen to me, because I was still alive but my late husband was dead.

I had to grieve and go through the stages but after all this, I had to get back up and wipe myself off and get back into the game of life.

....To Be Continued....

Day 97: Where energy goes, energy flows

Have you ever noticed that after you buy a new car, all of a sudden you see that same car everywhere?

Have you ever noticed that when you complain a lot, all of a sudden you see people around you complaining as well?

This is the case with everything.

When people complain about the negativity in the world and on social media, it means that they gotta clean up their own world first.

You gotta look within, before you play the "blame game," before you point fingers.

A lot of people tend to focus on others.

But out of my own experience I have learned that is such a waste of your precious time.

And time is one of the only things we can not buy.

We gotta stop dwelling on the past and we gotta grow and learn and fail forward.

I was skyping with my father in Holland and he was complaining about feeling lonely.

Now this is not the first time that I hear this, so again I came up with solutions.

Of course my father who is 86 years young, did not want to hear my solutions.

He likes to be the victim and have a pitty party.

Of course I love my father more than life itself and always hear him out but today I really didn't want his negative energy to rub of on me, so I told him to call my mother instead.

Because he complains about my mother, asking me why she left him after 40 years of marriage.

I told him, that has nothing to do with me and they should really sort that out together.

I can not talk for my mother.

In life sometimes it is better to step away from negativity and diffuse the situation with better solutions.

I have noticed that leaders always find solutions.

If there is a problem, there is a solution and if not, you direct this  to others who will have a solution.

The bottomline is, you gotta choose and pick your battles wisely.

There are people on this planet who are not ready and/or willing to help themselves.

You can guide them and show them the way, but you CAN NOT do it for them.

......To Be Continued.....

Day 96: I can't believe this is my life!

Have you ever had this thought?
Have you ever asked yourself; "is this really my life?"
I always wondered and was always envious of people who raved about their passions.
I never really knew what my passions were.
Yeah I knew that hiking was a big passion of mine, but getting lost in nature unfortunately doesn't pay the bills.
I was well aware of the fact that I enjoyed hanging out on Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest.
But again that doesn't pay the bills.
For so long, I wasted so much time following other successful Gals.
Then one day, my darling hubby John said to me: "You know Anna, it's all fine and dandy that you got so many friends & followers on social media but having all these friends & followers don't pay the bills.
A lightbulb went on in my head (I know, I know I'm a Blonde and maybe it took me a bit longer than the average bear).
I realized that I could combine all my passions together and make money that way.
I searched and searched and searched some more, until I found the right company for me.
As you know by now, I am a European Gal and I definitely wanted to join an International company with a very big powerful mission.
Personally I have always struggled with a lack of confidence.
I have read pretty much every personal development book out there.
Every day I still read and train my brain.
I have to stay consistent with my daily tasks.
But I saw a light at the end of the tunnel.
I realized I am Unique just by being me.
The only one who has my fingerprint is me.
So........drumroll.....I joined YOUNIQUE.
By just being my YOUnique self, I have made lots of Gals more confident with incredible make up and cosmetics.
At the same time this company has helped me with my confidence and I've made some fabulous Gal Pals and still meeting and making more lifelong friends.
......To Be Continued.....
