Is Your Life A Box Of Chocolates?


Have you ever opened a box of chocolates and broke open the bottoms looking for the "good ones"?  Rather a guarantee of what you're going to get.

You're looking for your favorite ones, the ones you're truly going to enjoy.
.
Maybe the caramel ones are your favorites.  They're easy to spot, you can tell by the shape of it, usually.

The ones you don't like, you put it back in the box and forget about them.

Sometimes, you take one thinking it'll be good, and find out it's nasty, so you discreetly dispose of it.

Maybe life IS like that box of chocolates.  We strive to find something better...a better paying job, a better house, a better lifestyle.

 I come from generations of poor people.  We have had a happy life, but without the luxuries we longed for.

When I speak of luxuries, I don't mean a fancy house or flashy car.  I'm talking about new clothes for the school year so the kids quit making fun of me because we were poor.

I'm referring to having an evening meal that you look forward to because it's some of your favorite dishes, not simply because you're hungry.

And so it has carried on, from one generation to the next.

My husband and I had fairly good paying jobs, it was enough to get by but no more than that.

 Then everything changed....

I was in a situation where I could no longer work away from home.  I was raising 2 granddaughter and was care taker for my Dad who was disabled and in a wheelchair. 

The size of my household grew, while the moneys to maintain it shrank, cut in half actually.

So I get the idea to make money using my wits and the computer. 


Let me say in short, I came to believe that was the dumbest thing I ever came up with!

Several opportunities that were claimed to be "easy for anyone" turned out to be nightmares.

So, how in the world could some people keep such a positive outlook?  I witnessed this from the leaders of these "great" online jobs.  How is it they can enjoy their box of chocolates and I have to live in the bowl of cherry pits?

 I mean, it's really about choices. 

You look at all your options, carefully weigh them out, follow the direction you like and discard the rest.

Well, that sounds easy, but practicality doesn't normally work that way. 

I spent a great deal of money on "opportunities" that weren't paying off....I was nearing desperation and despair.

As a final attempt to make a living from my computer, I let Dave sell me into Empower Network.

You can join too, by hitting the link here.

I joined as a member of the team, Be The Change.  By chance or by goodness, it was the best thing that could have happened.

While following the training modules in the products I bought, plus the bonus training from my team that was FREE, I was also receiving personal support and developing a new mind set.

You see, the reason most people never rise above their situation, is because they're like I was.  They believe there's nothing more for them, there's no where else to go, they're stuck in the life that's been given to them.

But I found out those beliefs can be turned around.


You can't remain down in the dumps if you surround yourself with people who are going in the direction you want to go.  Even if you're association with them is online through a team of supportive and inspiring people.

The past, like the chocolates you don't like, has to stay in the box.  Forgive whatever is needed and forget it.

Some of the best things this company has are Live Events.

 My Dad has since reached the point where professional care is needed, and he is receiving that in a nursing facility.  My granddaughter are almost grown, so their needs aren't as time consuming.

This, along with the extra money I've been earning, has enabled me to attend the events.

 Meeting the people I've worked with and learned from has given me the confidence and courage to keep reaching for all I wish for myself and family.

And the business part?  It really is a box of chocolates.

Every aspect of marketing is taught here.  I can choose the strategy that works best for me and I enjoy doing.

The value of the training and support is at least 10X what I've paid for it.

No technical skills needed, everything is provided.  Now, with the launch of the new platform, it's easier than ever to work on my business.

I can upload video, pictures, text to my blog from my mobile phone.  Working while having a life definitely has it's perks.

$25/month is all it takes to get started with the Viral Blogging System.  Start here

Nothing would give me greater pleasure right now, than to see my team keep growing.  To help people find their confidence and strength to move ahead like the 150,000+ inside this company.

  There are still struggles and obstacles to overcome, but I'm able to deal with them more effectively and quicker than before.

Why is that?  Because I know where I'm going and I know how I'm getting there.

Work with me and find all the good you deserve in life.
