I've been watching the Olympics on TV as much as I can as I love the competition and especially the various stories about some of the participants. To take part in the Olympics is a dream for so many and the dream starts when they are young and of course at those ages kids aren't afraid to dream.
Yesterday I heard a short interview of one of the female gymnastic participants. I didn't catch the question she was asked but I loved what she said as she talked about why she works so hard for so many years to become an Olympic Champion. She was talking about her work ethic and she said, "I hate regret." Then she went on to explain how regret inspired and motivated her to focus and work hard.
I wonder how many people in the Shaklee business regret not doing what they set out to do. In this business we are independent and it's up to the individual to face obstacles and to hang in there even when it doesn't seem to be working. I can remember talking to myself and telling myself that I really want what Shaklee offers and I'm not going to allow anything or anyone to stop me from going after my dream. I wasn't going to regret not doing what has to be done.
When you think of that word, regret, can you relate in some way? This business is about being or becoming mentally tough. Some people criticize and make negative comments and that is one of the first tests most of us have. I heard the comments. I've been through times when I wondered if this was really going to work the way I wanted it to. I have NO REGRETS. How about you?
Enthusiastically,
