A few years ago, I heard someone say something very simple but oh so profound. ���Life is supposed to be fun���. I have to believe that we didn���t come here to struggle and be unhappy but we oh boy do we spend a lot of our time doing just that. When my husband and I heard that statement we made a pact with each other right then and there���we were going to be happy no matter what was going on around us. Our lives have changed soooooo much since we made that pact. I���m not saying that it was always easy, it was something that we had to work on but we stayed focused and now it does come a lot easier. We believe in the ���law of attraction��� which simply means���like things are attracted to each other. So, if I���m grumpy, I���m gonna get more things to be grumpy about. If I���m scared about money, I���ll get more money issues to be scared about. If I���m doubtful, worried, angry, bitter, I will get more things to be doubtful, worried, angry and bitter about. But���..the really cool part is that it also works the other way. When I���m happy, thankful, excited, loving, playful, positive, confident, I will get more of that in my life. One of the common emotions that I hear when working with my fellow estheticians is ���doubt���. They doubt that the clients will show up. They doubt that those clients will return, they doubt that a piece of equipment they want to purchase will bring in money. So much doubt whirling around���no wonder business isn���t going well for some people. I read this statement the other day ���Doubt is something that I do not entertain while attempting a project, because I believe nothing is impossible��� I got to thinking about how I feel when I am about to introduce a new piece of equipment to my clients. Doubt about my success never even enters my mind���.I am so pumped up and excited about what I���m introducing, that failure is literally not in my vocabulary. I have always made my investments back immediately���the FSD was in 5 days, the oxygen machine was in one day!!! Was that because I am an awesome esthetician that knows everything there is to know about skin care? NO, it���s because I am so focused on success that failure does not enter my thought process one little teeny tiny bit. Try it, you���ll be amazed at how your life begins to change!
