Motivation

So some days are good days and some are bad. It's always a little hard to keep consistently "good" and on top of it all the time. I've found a book through my pink sisters that is very motivational, and it has kept me afloat for the past month through some rough times. It has a list of principals that if taken head and followed will lead you to success. The book is called, The Success Principles by Jack Canfield. Of course, there is a lot of common sense, but it is tangible because it is written out very clearly. I absolutely love the personal stories as well as quotes from people who became successful. It is my motivation. I want to walk in their footsteps and achieve great things. When you were in school, you had a lot of help from parents, teachers, siblings, and other supporters who picked you up and told you which direction to go. I find that it is extremely hard to be my own personal motivator. I mainly depend on Paul to be that one I go to for guidance, but even he can get a little overburdened with this responsiblity. So it is nice that I have other people to turn to for help and support. And it is fantastic that I've found a book I trust that will re-orient me in the direction I want to go. I recommend everyone whether they are in sales or not, have a goal or not to read this book. If anything, it will make you feel really good reading how people overcame obstacles and achieved their dreams even when they were told it was impossible.
