I am so excited about my business! I am so excited that I genuinely don't understand others who aren't excited about my business and who don't want to support me in any way, especially when they happen to be my closer friends and especially when I am committing to a monthly financial gift for them to support their dream. Yet, somehow, they cannot support mine. Honestly, you don't have to buy anything, really, I don't CARE...This product is awesome and if its for you, great, if not, great...But you really wont even take 15 minutes to sit down and talk with me and allow me to practice/ learn my new script? Really?
If you haven't figured it out yet, I am obviously venting about a situation I had today. It made me so angry and instead of holding it in, I told that person how I felt, that I was hurt and confused at why they couldn't support me when I am committing for two years to support them as a missionary in another country. I said I was sorry if I came across as blunt, but I was trying to figure it out so I could let it go. I don't want to be that person that harbors stuff. She left me a voice mail that I wont be able to return until the morning because my party ran a little late.It will all smooth out because I feel better simply after the confrontation and communicating my thoughts. It probably helps that I made a great sale at my party (woo hoo side note). It just amazes me the people that you would expect to be supportive in your life that aren't. I guess this is when you get to really see what people are all about!
So, even if the people are close to you and in your personal circle and you actively give to them, they may not be willing to give back to you. The best thing is to eliminate the emotional connection to your expectations for people that you know. It's a different ballgame when you get outside your acquaintances. Then, everyone looks the same to you in the sense that you don't have a background on them. They are all open for the opportunities!
Of course tomorrow I will apologize and be polite. A squabble is never worth the relationship, but we will see how it goes. I've already forgiven this person, but I dont know if I can erase this memory although I can bury it. I am not even a dramatic person. I hate drama, but I needed to process this. I haven't confronted anyone to this degree for three years, but this one really irked me. So disappointing :(
Mistake 1: Dont have an overly-emotional response to a rejection from someone close to you.. or you can have the response, just don't act on it... or maybe somewhere I did the right thing and this person needed to know how this affected me. I'll keep you posted!
I am excited to get a little more organized. I feel a bit all over the place right now and I'm trying to find my time management, the best times to do which activities, so that is an adventure. However, I am so thankful for the hope that Arbonne has given me and so grateful to feel like myself again... even if I am exhausted because its 1:40am... Tomorrow is a full day so goodnight readers and thanks for going on this adventure with me... and hopefully not judging me too much haha
