“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.” -- Dr. Seuss
Do you worry about what other people think???
I'm ashamed to admit that I do.
It is something that I'm working on: To speak my truth with confidence. To keep my trust in God, not people.
I'm a work in progress.
I especially struggle with respect doTERRA essential oils and health and wellness products.
I love the company. I love the products. They have made such a difference in my family's health and wellness.
But I worry about being labeled an oil nut... A pyramid schemer... A pushy salesperson... Or worse!
Then something like this happens and I know I must push through my fear and apprehension about being misunderstood or mislabeled and do what I feel in my heart is right...
I received this email from a dear friend:
Happy Sunday!
Most of me is back and functioning.....
You have been on my mind so often over the trip. Can I possibly thank you enough for the On guard products (affiliate link)? Unlike ALL of the rest of my small group of 6 (that were in their late 20s including a doctor) gramma Hal remained healthy throughout. I was dedicated to my daily pearls (beadlets), the lozenges and the hand sanitizer. Am 100% convinced that this was the reason that after getting sick in EVERY 3rd world country Ive ever visited in 66 yrs, I survived with nary a respiratory or other serious ailment! Yay!
Time for tales and catch up?
In gratitude,(!)
Your Hal
Talk about a lightbulb moment!
When I worry too much about what other people think it can prevent me from showing up for others and being my best self.
I owe it to my family, friends and wonderful readers to share what I have discovered.
My sharing of my favorite doTERRA onGuard products helped a dear friend stay healthy on her recent trip to China, Myanmar and Vietnam.
I want the same for anyone venturing onto a plane, train, ship or automobile.
I'll never try to force anything on anyone. It's not my style.
But I will continue to provide you with what I'm learning and discovering and let you decide for yourself.
I owe it to you and to myself.
And I'll keep reading quotes like this to boost my confidence and resolve...
