Mindful Balance

As a Mary Kay consultant years ago, training in scheduling appointments, a tactic we learned was filling our calendar with everything in our lives from time set aside for cleaning, to taking our kids to sports practices and games, to time set aside for quiet meditation.

The thought process was that others would see your calendar as “full”, see you as busy and want to partner with you because they see you as successful. It was called “fake it until you make it”. Looking back, I can see that was terrible advice.

John C. Maxwell said it better:
“You don’t fake it ‘till you make it. You learn it ‘till you earn it.”

Thanksgiving week is here! 🍁 Good food, time with family, football, pumpkin pie … just a few of the things that come to mind when I think of the day. I am most thankful this year for the good health and strength of all my family.

A valuable piece of advice I received during my professional development struggles was to find someone excelling in my desired field, connect with them, and learn from their journey.

Now, I recognize that external successes are rooted in internal work. Still, forging a connection with a successful individual requires their willingness to offer personalized guidance and mentorship.

Greet the week ahead with optimism and potential. Take a moment at day's end to pinpoint one area ripe for improvement tomorrow.
