The Race by DH Groberg

The Race 

(D.H. Groberg) 


"QUIT! GIVE UP! YOU'RE BEATEN!" They shout out and plead, 
There's just too much against you now, this time you can't succeed. 
And as I start to hang my head in front of failure's face, 
My downward fall is broken by the memory of a race. 


And hope refills my weakened will as I recall that scene. 
For just the thought of that short race rejuvenates my being. 
A children's race, young boys, young men; now I remember well. 
Excitement, sure, but also fear; it wasn't hard to tell. 


They all lined up so full of hope. Each thought to win that race 
Or tie for first, or if not that, at least take second place. 
And fathers watched from off the side, each cheering for his son. 
And each boy hoped to show his dad that he would be the one. 


The whistle blew and off they went, young hearts and hopes of fire. 
To win, to be the hero there, was each young boy's desire. 
And one boy in particular, his dad was in the crowd, 
Was running near the lead and thought, "My Dad will be so proud." 


But as he speeded down the field across a shallow dip, 
The little boy who thought to win, lost his step and slipped. 
Trying hard to catch himself, his hands flew out to brace, 
And mid the laughter of the crowd, he fell flat on his face. 


So down he fell and with him hope. He couldn't win it now. 
Embarrassed, sad, he only wished to disappear somehow. 
But as he fell, his dad stood up and showed his anxious face, 
Which to the boy so clearly said, "Get up and win that race!" 


He quickly rose, no damage done - behind a bit, that's all, 
And ran with all his mind and might to make up for his fall. 
So anxious to restore himself to catch up and to win, 
His mind went faster than his legs. He slipped and fell again. 


He wished that he had quit before with only one disgrace. 
I'm hopeless as a runner now, I shouldn't try to race. 
But, in a laughing crowd he searched and found his father's face 
That steady look that said again, "Get up and win the race." 


So, he jumped up to try again. Ten yards behind the last. 
If I'm to gain those yards, he thought, I've got to run real fast. 
Exceeding everything he had, he regained eight or ten, 
But trying so hard to catch the lead, he slipped and fell again. 


Defeat! He lay there silently, a tear dropped from his eye. 
There's no sense running anymore - three strikes I'm out - why try? 
The will to rise had disappeared, all hope had fled away. 
So far behind, so error prone, closer all the way. 


I've lost, so what's the use, he thought, I'll live with my disgrace. 
But then he thought about his dad, who soon he'd have to face. 
"Get up," and echo sounded low, "Get up and take your place. 
You were not meant for failure here, get up and win the race." 


With borrowed will, "Get up," it said, "You haven't lost at all. 
For winning is not more than this: to rise each time you fall." 
So up he rose to win once more, and with a new commit, 
He resolved that win or lose, at least he wouldn't quit. 


So far behind the others now, the most he'd ever been. 
Still he gave it all he had and ran as though to win. 
Three times he'd fallen stumbling, three times he'd rose again. 
Too far behind to hope to win, he still ran to the end. 


They cheered the winning runner as he crossed first place. 
Head high and proud and happy; no falling, no disgrace. 
But when the fallen youngster crossed the line, last place. 
The crowd gave him the greater cheer for finishing the race. 


And even though he came in last, with head bowed low, unproud; 
You would have thought he won the race, to listen to the crowd. 
And to his Dad he sadly said, "I didn't do so well." 
"To me you won," his father said, "You rose each time you fell." 


And when things seem dark and hard and difficult to face, 
The memory of that little boy helps me in my race. 
For all of life is like that race, with ups and downs and all, 
And all you have to do to win is rise each time you fall. 


"QUIT! GIVE UP! YOU'RE BEATEN!" they still shout in my face, 
But another voice within me says, "GET UP AND WIN THE RACE!"

I CAN'T GET OUT!!!!

Comfort Zone

If you are in a comfort zone afraid to venture out,

remember that all winners were at one time filled with doubt.

I used to have a comfort zone where I knew I couldn't fail,

The same four walls of busy work were really more like a jail.

I longed so much to do the things I ’d never done before,

But I stayed inside my comfort zone and paced the same old floor.

I said it didn't matter that I wasn't doing much,

I said I didn't care for things like vacations and such.

I claimed to be so busy with the things inside my zone,

But deep inside I longed for something special of my own.

I couldn't let my life go by just watching others win,

I held my breath and stepped outside to let the change begin.

I took a step and with new strength I’d never felt before,

I kissed my comfort zone good bye and closed and locked the door.

If you are in a comfort zone afraid to venture out,

Remember that all winners were at one time filled with doubt.

A step or two and words of praise can make your dreams come true

Greet your future with a smile,success is there for you!

"How to be Successful."

What am I crying for?

Over the last few years, I have grown to realize I am a truly an extreme emotional being. Yes, at first I thought it was menopause...LOL  but I think different today.  My realization comes from knowing that my emotions are drawn from joy, pure happiness from within.  I hardly cry from being sad.... now, I cry from being so filled with and over joyed.  I watch things and I can gasp with tears as I watch and know that it is coming deep within me from a place of jubilation!  I craze that feeling everyday and know that I am there!  I am in my "vortex" as Abraham Hicks would say.  I am in my glory, my bliss!

As I wipe the tear that fell onto my tab key just now, I share with you what brought me to this journal entry!! 

*And if you cry, let me know I am not alone!  I cry for happiness!

Thought is Everything!

Below is an excellent article by John Hill that I hope you'll like:

 

"When I say thought is everything I mean that literally everything in your life could be a construct of your thoughts. According to Albert Einstein and other brilliant scientists like David Bohm, it seems reality is nothing more than the projection of thought. Everything in life that we perceive with our 5 senses comes firstly from our habitual thinking. The fact that we all see the same things when we are in a group of people means that collectively our thoughts work together. This togetherness of perceiving the same things makes sense since we know the entire universe is made up of energy vibrating at different rates. Everything in the universe is connected on some level even though it might not seem that way.

Although we may view the same scenery or landscape when we are standing in a group, when we walk away from each other we go back into our own seemingly separate little world. Some of us live in the lap of luxury and some of us live in total poverty. Some of us are happy with ourselves and our lives, some of us are dreadfully unhappy and cannot see a way out from the problems that seem to engulf us.

If thought is everything we should able to change virtually every aspect of our life by simply changing our habitual thoughts. Although this is a difficult concept to prove scientifically, you only have to look over your own life and look at the ups and downs you have gone through to see that this concept seems valid. I can only speak for myself but when I look back over my own life I can clearly see how when I am thinking positively and optimistically I have experienced success on so many levels and have felt content during those periods. At times when life has not gone so well, it was my thoughts that let me down, not bad luck or misfortune.

I enjoy reading biographies and almost all biographies are written about successful people, I guess a biography written about someone unsuccessful would not be very successful. There seems to be a common theme with all successful people and that is, they thought about being a success in a certain area of their life long before, perhaps many years before, they became a big success.

One other very fascinating aspect of the lives of many successful people was the fact that in other areas of their life, these super successful people were quite unsuccessful. Perhaps they were successful in their primary field but many suffered failures in their relationships, financially and in other important areas of life. Many of these people claim the same story and that is they never gave much thought to success in other areas of their life other than their primary goal.

If you believe in the concept that thought is everything, you could probably make incredible changes in your life that lead to greater happiness and success. If this concept seems like fiction I guess you just have to leave your life to the winds of fate, but for me I like the idea that my thoughts do control the outcome of my life and I feel I have seen enough evidence over the course of my life to know deep inside that thought is everything". John Hill, Universe of Success

How to stay positive! No really!

I think we all need reminders sometimes.  A way to organize our thoughts.  Creating our future one step at a time is the only way it will manifest itself into our lives. How do we do that you ask?  Well the easiest way to gauge how we are doing and how direct our path is, is by our feelings.  So you can choose to be happy or you can choose to be unhappy.  I live my life with the choice to be happy.  Yes I have my days when it is harder to stay on the positive train without rolling off into the tumble weed, but sometimes all it takes is a good song, a funny joke or a smile to change my direction on the tracks.  Today I downloaded the book from Jack Canfiled called Think Positive and I can't wait to listen.  Its funny how things end up falling in front of you when you start focusing on the right things....   So stay positive and stay on the right track. The question is: how do they do that?

It’s quite simple. Happy people have good habits that enhance their lives. They do things differently. Ask any happy person, and they will tell you that they …

1. Don’t hold grudges.

Happy people understand that it’s better to forgive and forget than to let their negative feelings crowd out their positive feelings. Holding a grudge has a lot of detrimental effects on your wellbeing, including increased depression, anxiety, and stress. Why let anyone who has wronged you have power over you? If you let go of all your grudges, you’ll gain a clear conscience and enough energy to enjoy the good things in life.

2. Treat everyone with kindness.

Did you know that it has been scientifically proven that being kind makes you happier? Every time you perform a selfless act, your brain produces serotonin, a hormone that eases tension and lifts your spirits. Not only that, but treating people with love, dignity, and respect also allows you to build stronger relationships.

3. See problems as challenges.

The word “problem” is never part of a happy person’s vocabulary. A problem is viewed as a drawback, a struggle, or an unstable situation while a challenge is viewed as something positive like an opportunity, a task, or a dare. Whenever you face an obstacle, try looking at it as a challenge.

4. Express gratitude for what they already have.

There’s a popular saying that goes something like this: “The happiest people don’t have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything they have.” You will have a deeper sense of contentment if you count your blessings instead of yearning for what you don’t have.

5. Dream big.

People who get into the habit of dreaming big are more likely to accomplish their goals than those who don’t. If you dare to dream big, your mind will put itself in a focused and positive state.

6. Don’t sweat the small stuff.

Happy people ask themselves, “Will this problem matter a year from now?” They understand that life’s too short to get worked up over trivial situations. Letting things roll off your back will definitely put you at ease to enjoy the more important things in life.

7. Speak well of others.

Being nice feels better than being mean. As fun as gossiping is, it usually leaves you feeling guilty and resentful. Saying nice things about other people encourages you to think positive, non-judgmental thoughts.

8. Never make excuses.

Benjamin Franklin once said, “He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else.” Happy people don’t make excuses or blame others for their own failures in life. Instead, they own up to their mistakes and, by doing so, they proactively try to change for the better.

9. Get absorbed into the present.

Happy people don’t dwell on the past or worry about the future. They savor the present. They let themselves get immersed in whatever they’re doing at the moment. Stop and smell the roses.

10. Wake up at the same time every morning.

Have you noticed that a lot of successful people tend to be early risers? Waking up at the same time every morning stabilizes your circadian rhythm, increases productivity, and puts you in a calm and centered state.

11. Avoid social comparison.

Everyone works at his own pace, so why compare yourself to others? If you think you’re better than someone else, you gain an unhealthy sense of superiority. If you think someone else is better than you, you end up feeling bad about yourself. You’ll be happier if you focus on your own progress and praise others on theirs.

12. Choose friends wisely.

Misery loves company. That’s why it’s important to surround yourself with optimistic people who will encourage you to achieve your goals. The more positive energy you have around you, the better you will feel about yourself.

13. Never seek approval from others.

Happy people don’t care what others think of them. They follow their own hearts without letting naysayers discourage them. They understand that it’s impossible to please everyone. Listen to what people have to say, but never seek anyone’s approval but your own.

14. Take the time to listen.

Talk less; listen more. Listening keeps your mind open to others’ wisdoms and outlooks on the world. The more intensely you listen, the quieter your mind gets, and the more content you feel.

15. Nurture social relationships.

A lonely person is a miserable person. Happy people understand how important it is to have strong, healthy relationships. Always take the time to see and talk to your family, friends, or significant other.

16. Meditate.

Meditating silences your mind and helps you find inner peace. You don’t have to be a zen master to pull it off. Happy people know how to silence their minds anywhere and anytime they need to calm their nerves.

17. Eat well.

Junk food makes you sluggish, and it’s difficult to be happy when you’re in that kind of state. Everything you eat directly affects your body’s ability to produce hormones, which will dictate your moods, energy, and mental focus. Be sure to eat foods that will keep your mind and body in good shape.

18. Exercise.

Studies have shown that exercise raises happiness levels just as much as Zoloft does. Exercising also boosts your Self Improvement and gives you a higher sense of self-accomplishment.

19. Live minimally.

Happy people rarely keep clutter around the house because they know that extra belongings weigh them down and make them feel overwhelmed and stressed out. Some studies have concluded that Europeans are a lot happier than Americans are, which is interesting because they live in smaller homes, drive simpler cars, and own fewer items.

20. Tell the truth.

Lying stresses you out, corrodes your Self Improvement, and makes you unlikeable. The truth will set you free. Being honest improves your mental health and builds others’ trust in you. Always be truthful, and never apologize for it.

21. Establish personal control.

Happy people have the ability to choose their own destinies. They don’t let others tell them how they should live their lives. Being in complete control of one’s own life brings positive feelings and a great sense of self-worth.

22. Accept what cannot be changed.

Once you accept the fact that life is not fair, you’ll be more at peace with yourself. Instead of obsessing over how unfair life is, just focus on what you can control and change it for the better.

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!  Contrary to popular belief, happiness doesn’t come from fame, fortune, other people, or material possessions. Rather, it comes from within. The richest person in the world could be miserable while a homeless person could be right outside, walking around with a spring in every step. Happy people are happy because they make themselves happy. They maintain a positive outlook on life and remain at peace with themselves.  

Try it!  xoxo

Do you love your job?

Sitting here reflecting on my week here in Idaho at our director boot camp. Amazing people, amazing company to work for. I have learned an abundance of things that will not only make me a better leader but a better person. There are people that can love their jobs and NEVER have the chance to let people come and join in on that company so that others could experience that joy. I LOVE my job and can invite ANYONE to start right now, no interview and no one to make the decision to accept the position but themselves. And then they too can get the all benefits of joy and happiness that this job can also bring them. I am amazed at the fact that I sold for another direct sales company for 12 years and NEVER met the president or vp and had a chat with them around the lobby of the hotel I was staying at. The Scentsy Family is TRULY family. The success I have will ultimately come from me, but having the foundation and support offered to me by The Scentsy Family will be the catalyst to my success, which to me is defined as happiness and abundance of life, love and health. I mat not be rich with money "yet" but I am certainly rich with love and support. The rest of the story is being built as we speak.

Heidi Thompson - words of wisdom

Heidi Thompson was named one of the Most Influential Women in Direct Sales!

Heidi Thompson

Co-Owner and President, Scentsy

“Don’t expect to be comfortable when you are growing, or to grow when you are comfortable.” It’s a motto Heidi Thompson clings to. “I was a comfortable stay-at-home mom, now I’m a busy executive making decisions that affect thousands of lives. I’ve had to grow to do that,” she says.
Thompson discovered—to a large degree out of necessity—comfort is overrated when you are $700,000 in debt and your fledgling direct sales company is your family’s only hope. “I needed to allow myself to be uncomfortable, not worry about what other people think and just focus on how I am growing,” Thompson says. She still battles a “scared-to-death” fear of public speaking, but the nerves are slowly fading.

Today she often glimpses a bit of herself in Scentsy’s consultants. “It’s people who never saw it in themselves and they are now these amazing women that they never thought they could be. It is very inspirational and motivational for sure,” she says.

Eight years ago, Scentsy was just getting started and so was Thompson in Direct Selling 101. Lack of funds prevented her and husband, Orville, from taking much advice, but they found infinitely better options on their own. “You don’t have to follow conventional wisdom to be successful because we didn’t,” Thompson says.

The couple works together all day, every day, and Thompson relishes it. “It’s brought us closer together as a couple. We don’t always initially agree on things, but we’ve learned to be patient until we do and to compromise. We have different strengths and weaknesses and together we make a whole,” she says.

That reflects the experience of many top Scentsy sales leaders, essentially CEOs of their own businesses. “Many of them get to the point where they need help running their businesses, and we’ve seen more and more instances of husbands—often with corporate jobs—quitting their work to join them,” Thompson says.

Admiration for…

My mom: “She was right there for us to help us get Scentsy off the ground. She worked at least two years without pay and never complained. Then she wanted to sign up to be a consultant. She’s built a very successful business and is now 71. Along the way she taught me all those things that are important: dedication, perseverance and she modeled faith for me because she always believed in us.”

On Motherhood…

“Being a mom is the most valuable executive training.”

Scentsy: Fragrance, Fondue and Fashion

From the time Heidi and Orville Thompson launched Scentsy in 2004, they were determined to build their business around core values of simplicity, authenticity and generosity. Their ideals launched one of the industry’s growth rocket ships.

The couple works hard to ensure that those key values extend to everything that happens within the Scentsy family of brands: the company’s original Scentsy Wickless brand of scented, wickless candles and other fragrance products; Velata, which offers patent-pending silicone fondue warmers and premium Belgian melting chocolate; and Grace Adele, which offers a “style system” of accessories that includes handbags, clutches, wallets, clip-ons and jewelry. Velata and Grace Adele were both launched in 2012.

Scentsy developed three distinctive brands to provide their consultants a way to get a larger slice of the economy by providing additional opportunities to engage with hostesses. Each of the company’s brands appeals to a slightly different group of consultants and consumers, and consultants may offer any or all of them. Each has a separate consultant agreement and starter kit.

Scentsy’s 2011 net sales were $537 million, solely from Scentsy Wickless sales. The Thompsons believe that the Grace Adele brand has the potential to equal Scentsy Wickless revenues in three years.

Did someone say Costa Rica?

Each year I think we all go through our moments of wanting to get out of Dodge. Is it because we become complacent?  Are we just wanting to get away and see new things?  What, however is the number 1 reason we don't go?  Yes, money.  Hard cashola.  Frustrating as it might be we all run into those times that we just can't seem to gather up enough money to take a trip.  Well, I have something to share with you all today.  

2 years ago, I became an entrepreneur for a company that would be the catalyst of change for me.  I have worked very hard all my life to achieve the best life could offer.  Always a penny short.  I know a few of your are knodding your heads in agreement. Ok so the job is to make extra money to enjoy life a bit more with my hunny and family! I never expected to add traveling and meeting the most amazing people to the mix.  Last year, 1 year into my journey with my company, I earned and they sent me, for FREE to an all inclusive resort in Punta Cana!  Talk about paradise.  My hunny and I spent 6 days in the sun and heat and enjoyed ourselves tremendously as we were spoiled by not only the company I work with but by all the employees at the resort. I swam with the sharks & stingrays (an item on my bucket list) Can you say amazingly blessed!!  So that takes us to today, 2 years into the business.  Typically we work to earn the money to travel to these exotic places.  Yup AGAIN, I earned and they are sending me, for FREE to an all inclusive resort in Costa Rica!  Talk about paradise. So I am getting paid to have my business and share with people and they are also paying for me to travel.....  Pretty sure that is what they call a win win situation.  

I can't wait for this adventure. #2 on my bucket list has been to go Zip Lining....  

Guess what they are paying for me to go do!!!!!!!! 

Your Why will make you cry...

What would you do? Really...

Can you say Sweet Yumminess?

Destiny...

“I believe in destiny. But I also believe that you can’t just sit back and let destiny happen. A lot of times, an opportunity might fall into your lap, but you have to be ready for that opportunity. You can’t sit there waiting on it. A lot of times you are going to have to get out there and make it happen.” ~Spike Lee
