A WOW moment!!!

I had an epiphany this morning.
Not sure where it came from....but it came after I prayed for God to lead this business for me. I asked him to direct my path with this and this came to mind and wanted to share this with you....

I'm turning my past failures to teaching moments .

I know this might not bring about the same kind of excitement that I felt when these thoughts came about.

But I feel I need to share it anyway.

So, let me list all of the companies I've joined before...and said that I would succeed and hit high ranks ...change my life...etc etc etc.

Shaklee

Avon

Amway

Mary Kay

It works

Lipsense

Beachbody

Herbalife

Doterra

Modere

Plexus

and now...

Paparazzi.

First...what I take from this is...I've always been entrepreneurial minded. Not only have I tried the above companies, I once made and sold my own soap and bath and body products. 

I recognized that being a business owner was something I've always wanted. So joining all the above companies was me searching. Searching for the things I wanted in life that I thought I would achieve with each and every single one of those companies.

First let me say this....Health and wellness companies were VERY DIFFICULT for me to do anything significant with unless I wanted to wait many years to see something substantial come from it. Now I'm not stating that as an umbrella statement for every one but I'm stating it for myself.

Mary kay...good quality product but again expensive. 

Doterra? I LOVE the oils. I use them daily. I share them with family and friends when I can but I didn't want to do classes to teach about the oils. Most people look at these oils as they don't work and it frustrated me trying to CONVINCE people how they have changed my own family's health. 

Avon? No substantial way to make the kind of income I was looking for.

IT works? TO me...the wraps might work here and there but I couldn't feel good about the product enough to promote it long term.

Now...

Paparazzi Accessories.

Its $5 Jewelry people!!!

People want jewelry and will pay alot of money for what they want so me offering a cheaper alternative and a way to make ALOT of money!! I am covered on all aspects of what I was looking for.

Each one of those companies above I learned something from. I learned what I was NOT looking for. THey all led me to where I am now and what I found is they were not mistakes or failures!!! They were the stepping stones to where I am today!

I am a BLING boss with Paparazzi Accessories!!

I love what I do. 

I love sharing the opportunity with others who need what I offer whether it be the jewelry or the business. 

I want to help others achieve greatness and FINALLY found the company that will get us there!!!

All of those years of feeling like I failed  myself and failed my husband and kids....that feeling is GONE! I'm exactly where I need to be!! 

So...JOIN ME!!!

Lets do something GRAND! BIG!! HUGE!!! 

Then lets celebrate it together!!!! 

My flaws...to be celebrated!

I have been looked upon like I am a perfect, got it all together , Miss Goodie Two Shoes. Even been called that once or twice.

HA!

Laugh is on YOU!

What you may see on the outside is definitely not what is happening on Inner Nikki.

So today I'm going to talk about what I believe to be a thorn in my side.

ANXIETY!!!!

Those who don't suffer with it have no idea how debilitating it is.

It makes you worry about things that may or may not even happen!!

For example!

I was supposed to have a state inspection for my daycare. BIG inspection. Got notice of it before Christmas that it would be in Jan. I stressed and stressed over it. Trying to prepare to make everything perfect. Well day of inspection came...and she cancelled. So all of that stressing was for nothing!!!

Another example:

I watched a Grey's Anatomy episode about a lady who had breast cancer. Well that ONE EPISODE got me convinced I had cancer. Stressed and stressed and had a mammogram and guess what...NO CANCER.

It can also keep you from TRYING new things!

And when something doesn't work out, it turns personal and you think you FAILED!

Also part of anxiety and what it does to your thinkin'!

Now, I'm NOT talking about being anxious about things that are normal. Anxiety can be part of life. But what I deal with is an anxiety DISORDER that is generalized and takes up every aspect of my life. I have to constantly tell myself POSITIVE things in order to counter the anxiety part of my brain.

BUT....

I will not allow anxiety to be a crutch or a reason I don't experience new things !!

I also have to realize just because my anxiety level goes up a notch or two, that doesn't mean to stop doing what is making me feel this way.

Sometimes we stay inside our comfort zones because it makes us feel uneasy.

That's when we need to push through because that is when PERSONAL GROWTH happens.

So, I just wanted my readers to know that I do NOT always have it all together. Sometimes I am feeling like my world is crumbling. But I just don't want it to go all over my social media. 

Hope this writing today helps someone. Even ONE person helped today means I did a good thing.

God Bless
