Yesterday morning I woke up in a lovely bedroom with a warm breeze blowing the thin white curtains. I was in a guest room, staying with friends on Block Island. No alarm clock. No schedule. I awoke because I was fully rested and my body was following it's natural rhythm. This is a wonderful way to live- in your natural rhythm. We grow, expand, change and flow through different seasons.These seasons can be exciting, painful, scary, challenging, vibrant...all of those elements. What I have found to be true is that on a deep level, we are looking to do something, find a "place" where we make a difference. Where we contribute to the higher good of all people. This is what I have found through our company and it's been through dedicating myself 100% that I have found my "purpose" and know that I am living in my natural flow. Let me explain...
For many years I longed to be "religious." I was searching for a place where I belonged, where I felt safe and could find peace in the beliefs and people I surrounded myself with. I was yearning for a "chosen family." I searched and listened and joined and truly opened my heart up...yet I never was filled with the "inspiration & peace" that I was so longing for. What I came to find, in all those years of searching, was that my "religion" was already inside of me. The way I lived my life- my integrity, my values, my contribution and service to others- my everyday life was my religion in motion. I read a lot about Buddhism and felt the most connected to these teachings- living a mindful life. So, in the end, that is what I have chosen to do. I live my values, judge no one for theirs and lead by example, not by words. I am living a spiritual life and it works.
Our business works in a similar fashion. We lead by example. We walk the talk. We lead with integrity. We are making a major contribution to the lives of many, many people. Through our network we are spreading health, hope, prosperity, positive energy and best of all- we are getting people back in touch with their dreams and their higher selves! Whatever you may belive in....it's all under this umbrella of "serving others!"
In our company we choose our business partners, therefore, we control who we surround ourselves with everday! What a blessing! I choose only to work with positive, happy, healthy, fun people who LOVE what we're doing! Our company allows us the pleasure of creating the atmosphere, attracting the people and manifesting the abundance in our own, natural way! There is no "right" way! Network marketing is so brilliant in that there are many roads to success and many different definitions of "success." We each get to decide what that is for us and then work as a team to achieve it.
For me, one major aspect of our success is "time freedom." Three years ago we worked full-time jobs where we had a "boss" who controled 8 hours of our day, 5 days per week. We were limited. We were stressed. We did not feel "at liberty." When we joined this company, on a leap of faith, we were clear that "time freedom" was one of our goals. We worked diligently towards that goal, always having the word "FREEDOM" in sight. When things didn't work out, as they sometimes won't, we felt the disappointment and then got right back to thinking about "FREEDOM." Never, ever did we take our eye off of our prize- FREEDOM.
This summer has been one of travel, sailing, visiting friends, horse shows, gardening, riding our horses, writing, reading, having great conversations, sharing our company, dreaming, planning and some great free-time lying about in the hammock!! We have achieved "time freedom" in our lives and for that we have truly grateful hearts. This was all creating by helping others have success on our team. Everyday we are dedicated to helping other people live their best life. Our reward- FREEDOM. What is your highest reward? Get really clear on what you want and what you're willing to do to achieve it. From there, anything is possible!
That morning on Block Island my friend, Dee, placed her hand on my heart and said, "We all have grateful hearts." We were speaking of what we wanted most for our children. In that moment I was so clear. I am grateful for Dee and my close-knit group of cherished friends, I am grateful for my family, for my partnership and love with Joe, my health and for the incredible gift of a business that allows me to flow naturally through the journey called, my life.
Namaste,
Jenna
