050 ~ Fifty!!!

~F~I~F~T~Y~

~5~0~

WOW!

Fifty days - Fifty photos - Fifty posts!

The "days" aren't quite right 

because we all know I've missed a few days

here & there, tho I always catch up!

The "photos" aren't quite right either

because some days have just one

but some days have lots more than one!

But FIFTY POSTS fits just right

because today I have 

(with this post)

now written 50 posts 

for this blog!

YAY!!!

This has nothing to do with 50!

LOL

About the only way it might have anything to do with 50 is in my desire to achieve certain goals within a given timeline... such as;

I'd like to have 50 personal customers

by May 2011.

or...

I'd like to lose 50 pounds

by March 2011.

You might not think one is related to the other,

but they are!

Take a look at the picture again:

This is a circle of wellness.

Each part is connected to the others.

Without any one, wellness is not complete.

Starting from the 12 o'clock position

you have:

Financial Wellness

Environmental Wellness

Personal Wellness

Physical Wellness

Put them in any order you want; 

you're priorities may be 

different from mine,

but you need all four

if you're really going to be well.

Think about it!

We all need money these days

(financial)

We all breathe air and drink water

(environmental)

We all have people we care about,

including ourselves

(personal)

We all have health issues we're

concerned about

or want to improve

(physical)

Sure we can expand on any or all 

of these a lot more!

But if you had to do away with one,

which one would it be?

Name one you could do without

that would not have

a negative effect

on the others!

So - back to my earlier thought:

relating the goals

of building my customer base

and me losing weight

to one another.

My customer base affects my financial wellness.

My losing weight affects my physical wellness.

When my financial wellness improves,

so will my personal wellness

because I will be able to do more 

for those I care about, 

and doing that will make me

feel happier and more joyful.

When my personal wellness improves,

so will my physical wellness

because I will be getting more done

since I'm happier to begin with.

And all these tie into my environmental wellness

because everything I do will help

reduce chemicals in the environment,

reduce wasteful practices that harm

the environment,

promote others making similar changes,

thus bringing a greater good impact

on environmental wellness.

As each area improves,

the world around me improves.

As I teach this to others,

the world around them improves too!

041 ~ Achievements

Before I get to the pics let me explain...

This month has certainly not gone as I would have expected, nor as I planned.

It has prompted me to do some serious thinking on EVERYTHING!

Pretty much all my life I have taken care of others in one way or another.  Caring for others is something that comes to me no matter what I do to stop it or change it.  After so many years it has been my conclusion that I will always care for others, one way or another.  Therefore, I should work at developing myself and my resources in such a way as to provide that care in a way that fully feels right to me.  Doesn't that make sense?

That is what I'm working at as I grow my Melaleuca "business" and create a steady, reliable source of income that will eventually allow me to break away from being dependent upon government funds for sustenance (which is a good thing)!

To that effort:

Again, the same camera settings were used but somehow the results were different.  The middle two pics are the truest colors.  All three awards are in the same type of frames.

Sometime in the next few days I will be getting them up on the wall where I can see them daily as reminders of my goals.  Each month I set goals and most months I miss the mark! :(  But I am not giving up!!!  I need this in so many ways it hurts to not meet my goals on time.  

However, after listening to a few different, successful people speak about goals and dreams I've decided to work on a few adjustments for this next month.  I do still want to find at least four families wanting or needing what Melaleuca has to offer.  But I'm going to work on my perspective.  What emotion do I come across with when I'm talking to people about this?  I do need this so badly but I don't want to sound desperate or anything.  I do, absolutely, believe in this company and it's products!  So far, out of all that we've tried, there is nothing, absolutely nothing we haven't liked!  But if there was I know, without a doubt, we could return it (even empty) and get our money back!  Try that with something you buy at Wal-Mart! 

Some people don't like that they "have to" buy a minimum amount each month.  Maybe those people don't keep close tabs on their expenses; but when I was asked how much I spent each month, on average, for household products such as laundry detergent, cleansers, soap, toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo and conditioner, etc. I knew right away without thinking... $150, sometimes more.  That minimum needed for Melaleuca was less than half what we usually spent every month!  Most people just don't realize this!

Most people don't think about it.  They just buy these things whenever they need them.  Melaleuca actually helps you to get better organized in your spending; to plan it better so you don't run out of any Melaleuca products before your next order gets delivered to your door.  But I'm getting sidetracked...

The whole BIG PICTURE thing here is this:

EVERYBODY

NEEDS

MELALEUCA

they just don't know it yet.

It will save money!

It will save time!

It will be safer!

It will be better!

Now, who wouldn't want that?
