Do you Fit In?
Written by Stefanie Sanspree on Jul 19, 2010 7:25 pm
I hope everyone is living well and enjoying life! : ) There is something that has been on my mind today and I feel I need to vent it out. You remember when you were a kid and there were several groups of kids that would all hang out together and maybe you were a part of the group or maybe you weren't. Let's say you may have had a new idea or you wanted to buy a different pair of jeans then the other kids were wearing. You may have tried to share you idea or may have bought those new pair of jeans and you were turned Down. You were turned down or felt rejection, Why? Why did these kids choose to treat you this way? It was because you did something different and they didn't like it and you said something that was different and they didn't like what you said.
You're probably wondering What In The World Does THIS Have to Do with Me and Network Marketing?! Believe it or not this has A LOT to do with your business. One of the Biggest reasons for Failure is because of Fear. Wow, Fear. It sounds so simple, but it's that fear of being Rejected and not fitting in. Can you imagine how many millions maybe billions of people that didn't pursure their dreams because someone told them it was a bad idea, look at some of the world famous inventers that had a vision and they kept working towards it no matter what their peers told them. They worked at it UNTIL they reached their goals.
So to review, don't be afraid to be different. Just because you believe in something and others don't, it doesn't mean that it's wrong or that it's not possible. Just do what you got to do to get the job done.
And I just want to say YES, You deserve it!! I appreciate you : )
Sincerely,
Stefanie Sanspree

Being part of the "in" crowd
This reminds me of how I wanted to fit in with the "in" crowd in high school. Even now as an adult, it stings to feel rejection. There are many people that don't understand my passion for network marketing. But I have the confidence now to know I'm on the right path!
I want to hang out with you!!
Great story and so true Stephanie. Don't be afraid to be different. You uniqueness is great. I am glad to be in your mastermind group Stephanie and I have to agree with Margie. Thanks for reminder. I appreciate you also. Great value.
Be who you are...
So true, Stefanie. Fear of rejection will stunt us and keep us from doing what we really want to do. It's always refreshing when someone is unique and has found their niche without being obnoxious. :) It reminds me of a quote by Dr. Seuss, "Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."
Dare To Be Different !
I am glad that you shared your feelings here Stefanie. I totally agree with you don't be afraid to be different. My feelings towards this is if someone is your true friend they will love you no matter what kind of jeans you wear.
Thank You Stefanie,
Your Friend,
Steven Squillace :-)
