Every Day is a Small Success

Here I sit, tired and unmotivated. That's my m.o. lately. Holy week got me a bit off kilter, so I'm trying to get back on schedule with my supplements. It's times like this when I realize that what I'm doing REALLY IS working, and I need to be so thankful for it! Amazing that the Stress Test was right under my nose and I didn't take it sooner!!! UGH!!! Anyhow, I got up this morning and looked out my window at beautiful Pike's Peak, and I was instantly reminded: I'm alive, my husband and my two beautiful children are healthy, and this is where I'm supposed to be today! Every day is a small success. I can feel myself continuing to get better, my energy increasing, and my love for life returning. I feel so blessed to be where I am, even on days like the past few, when I am off my schedule and I feel like standing outside and screaming at nobody in particular (the neighbors might think I'm crazy...).
But really, it's not about me. It's about HIM. It's about thinking outside of the box, outside of yourself. Our society is so focused on "looking out for Number 1" that sometimes the selfless act of helping someone else is lost, overlooked, forgotten. I truly am blessed to be a part of a company that can change people's lives. The Trump Network has really helped us to refocus our priorities, to reevaluate what is important to us, to model for our children the beauty of giving of yourself, the warmth that you feel when you help someone less fortunate than you, the way a smile can change someone's day. It's not about me, or you. It's about US. According to Matthew Kelly (one of my favorite authors), Individualism is ultimately self-destructive, "The rights of the individual have been strengthened at all costs, with no regard for right or wrong." I agree with him. We need to stop thinking in "me, me, me" terms and really think "how is this going to affect society today, and societies to come?". Every day that we spend thinking of others before ourselves is a small success. But, that's just my 2 cents for the day, my small success. Get out there people, and Ascend and Live!
