Reception to Change

Over the past couple of months, I have had to wake up every morning and remind myself to keep my ears and eyes open. You see, I have begun my very own business from home. It is all about health and wellness and great energy. These are things that not only I am trying to make money with, but that I take daily for myself. Most days I am so happy about this lifestyle change that I feel I am oozing joy. And other days I am very distracted.

Direct sales, or from home work, is very tough to carve a path in. I am certainly no exception to that rule. About a week ago, I was sharing my struggles with a friend about how I had kind of stalled in growing my business.

She said "it is a daily choice to keep our ears open. Just learn how to listen, and the flood gates will open." This idea, mentality, and mantra is effective in many ways. Some people follow this idea about their faith, others for friendships/ relationships, and for others in business.

Well, let me tell you. 4 hours after I got off the phone with my friend, my mother called. I had not told her yet about what I was doing. Wouldn't you believe that sure enough, I chose to be the good listener that she needed, adn next thingn I knew the door was open. Not only did I tell her about my business, but that it literally has changed my life. I have never felt so good. Immediately she said "your dad needs that" and then I said "well I have what you need too".
For the rest of the day I could not stop smiling! :)

Everyday, we hear people talk about the changes they are looking for in their lives. But then sometimes when you tell them what you are doing to make changes in yours, people will blow you off! It can be so frustrating to know a way that will help them beyond a shadow of a doubt and to want to help your friends and family with no avail. People fear the unknown, of being different, of stepping out of their comfort zone, and mostly they fear failure.

But what if they just turned down the very thing that could save their life (literally) or pay off $100,000 of credit card debt or a life long friendship? How receptive are we REALLY to change? What do you do daily to step a little further out of the comfort zone and to really make a difference? I know I have to remind myself daily, but man it is so worth the risk! This week, let's all do something to make a positive change in our own lives as well as one or two other peoples. You never know how one little thing could change history forever!
