Measure of Success

Often times I think we push instead of trusting and being lead. I find the is common for me. I push so hard to be successful,  I give 110% to my work and rarely every get the appreciation I think I deserve.  For 2 years now I have been pushing to find success.  I quite my secure job to start a new one that would provide me opportunity to earn more money and grow. Umm.. didn't happen. In 2013 I joined not 1 but 2 direst sales companies. There were both amazing companies and I hit the ground running with each. I made money, hit bonuses, and then both came to a screeching hault. I had exhausted all my contacts, my leads, I was starting all over. I was reaching out to my upline and getting nada. Seems they all seemed to have the common answer which resulted in a the same damn question to me..."Have you made your list of friends and family and have you contaxted them all?" Really... not everyone is interested in my products, not everyone has the money to purchase it, and most don't want to get involved with industries. So at the beginning of the year I found myself taking a hard look all that I "tried" to find success in and found that I successfully spent a lot of money only! I am realizing that success may not be measured in dollar signs but maybe by the lives we touch, how we inspire, how we encourage, how we grow. I am successful and so very blessed.
