Social media is a tough place to participate in daily. š¤·š»āāļø
It’s a place where people share through the lens of love and kindness, but also through the lens of fear and negativity. We have to choose how we will participateā¦which lens will we use? š¤
We have to not only filter what we post, but filter out the negativity and fear of others. It is an influence to our daily mental grind and actions towards others.
Today is Random Acts of Kindness today. Do something kind for a stranger. Do something kind for a friend. Do something kind for a family member. Pay for the prison behind you in the drive through. Not going out today? Send a note in the mail or through messenger to brighten a friend’s day. Big or small, the act is never wasted. šš¤š„°
Weāve made sales out to be such a dirty industry. But I read an incredible sentenceā¦.. āSelling is simply listening.ā
When i read that from a friend, it all clicked in my head.
Selling is simply listening.
Itās listening to what someone needs. Listening to their dreams. Listening to what they want.
And then asking myself if thatās a need I can meet with the resources I have.
I listen to stories every single day. I get texts and messages from countless people who share their stories with meā¦..
ā¢The story of a mom who feels like she lost herself in pregnancy and just wants to feel like herself in her skin again.
ā¢The story of a college student who wants to graduate debt free because sheās seen her parents struggle and she wants more for her future.
ā¢The story of someone who is struggling to feel better after a cancer battle. A fertility battle. An emotional battle. A weight battleā¦ the list goes on.
ā¢The story of a wife who has a crazy dream to retire her hardworking husband and I know that I can help her bring him home.
Iām a professional listener.
Many times, I am able to join and even change (for the better!) the story of the person Iām listening to. Sometimes I canāt.
But most of the time, I listen, I share, we lock armsāand lives get changed.
You earn the right to hear someoneās story every time you make the choice to tell yours!
So next time you write someone off because āthey sell somethingā maybe just try telling them your story. See what pieces you can fit together.
Because absolutely everyone deserves to be heard.
And who knowsāmaybe, they just might be able to change your life. šš¼ #ChooseJoy
āYou want success, but you don’t want to practice until it’s perfect. āYou want success, but you don’t want to put in the hard work. āYou want success, but you’re afraid of failure. āYou want success, but you’re always jumping around from opportunity to opportunity. āYou want success, but all you really want to do is quit trying.
You must be willing to correct your mindset and have a meeting in the mirror. Success comes the willingness to work for these qualitiesā¦NO SHORT CUTS ALLOWED.šŖšÆ
I’m not much of a basketball fan, but I am a fan of hard work and dedication. After doing some research on Kobe Bryant’s work, I can see that he was truly dedicated to his passion, and put in the hard work required to be one of the greatest. šÆ
You have to be willing to fail in order to succeed. You have to be willing to get back up and start againā¦and againā¦and again. You have to find your passion of helping others and use it as the motivation to continue. You have to be willing to put in the hard work! šŖ
