How You Win
Our recent talk about distractions reminded me of something that happened in South Florida a couple years ago, and is very relevant with recent here in Asia Pacific where I am now. Back in Miami, a radio station was taking a poll among the listeners about who was thinking to move after we had a few hurricanes. Such silliness…
No matter where you go, Mother Nature will always have some surprises for you, whether they are tornadoes, earthquakes, floods, dust storms, or tsunamis. That is the nature of a healthy planet, always adjusting. Hurricanes are actually quite helpful, distributing the heat from the equator to the other reaches of the planet. In fact all catastrophes do some good and are there for a reason in natural order.
I read recently about areas in Thailand affected by the tsunamis. Scientists said the salt water would destroy agriculture there for decades. The exact opposite happened. Rice and other farmers are reporting the highest yields they have ever seen in recent seasons. The salt water seems to have brought all kinds of nutrients to fertilize the land there. That’s natural order.
Now apply that to building your business…
Do you realize every rejection you get is there for a reason? Every person that drops out of your team offers an opportunity. Every failed autoship order, product backorder and even negative publicity gives you an opportunity for growth into something better.
Every challenge you face helps you become stronger, develop new skills and become the leader you need to evolve into.
But of course not everyone is willing to stay the course. Many will quit at the first setback or disappointment. And what a shame that is.
In our business, the only people that lose are the ones that quit. Remember that always.

Such a profound message.
Just spoke with a person tonight who is so afraid to do online banking because he is afraid that someone might steal his identity. This is the same guy who gave me a DVD about the conspiracy theory surrounding certain events some years ago in the US. I threw it in the bin and never watched it.
Just to think how he is allowing himself to become suppressed in the hands of those who attempted and succeeded in keeping him hiding away from his true potential.
What a shame.
This is unfortunately one of those who will quit at everything before even starting, let alone there being a setback. If it wasn’t for people like you RG who help others to see the ‘natural order’ then one might have been stuck in that realm themselves. Thank God for you!
How uplifting to read about Thailand. That is good news. How much better to be spreading good news and encouragement than buying into conspiracy theories like your chap Tony. I know people like that too and it is sad. They are too scared to live!
Indeed when we get the knock backs it is no fun but the longer you stick with it the less it knocks you back. 🙂
You can of course argue whether certain events are “natural” or not. And even if they are staged it can still be considered “natural” in the sense that they are somehow allowed to happen.
In any case, MLM can be a bit biased to the positive side while the conspiracy guys tend to not realize they might be part of attracting the outcome in the first place.
Everything is certainly there for a reason. Life is not a mystery. It is right in front of our eyes all the time and we have exactly what we have manifested.
