LifeShine: Empowering YOU to Succeed!   March 2007
BEAUTY Edition
 

Greetings!

How often do you take the time to s-l-o-w d-o-w-n and consciously see the beauty around you? In this fast-paced world, we run around all day long, hurrying to get wherever we need to go, and then sometimes end up burnt out and exhausted at the end of the day. What we don't always realize, though, is that there are opportunities all around us to see BEAUTY.

How we see the world is directly related to how we experience the world. What you see is what you experience. The great news is that we can choose how we see the world. Beauty has a way of forcing us to stop in our tracks and pause to appreciate and celebrate life. Check out the article and photo below and you'll understand what we're talking about!

Please use the "Forward" link at the bottom of this email and pass this newsletter on to those people in your life who could use a breather in their busy day to pause and appreciate beauty in their lives. Thanks! And Happy Spring.

To your success,
Michelle & Bill Stimpson

    I am incredibly fortunate to be surrounded by beauty every day. I have a lovely home with lovely things inside it, a scenic drive to and from work, and I receive surprise gifts on a regular basis. I feel like I’m living a charmed life and I credit it all to one thing: I’m a beauty addict.

    It all started last fall, a few days before my birthday, while I was sitting in rush hour traffic. A brilliant rainbow appeared in the sky and instantly put a smile on my face. I peered around to see if anyone else noticed, but all of the other drivers were busy in their cars talking on cell phones, applying make-up, or staring straight ahead as if in a trance. No one was looking up.

    As a Financial Advisor, I was on the verge of some big changes in my life, but I couldn’t quite put my finger on what it was. I had just switched broker dealers and wanted to take advantage of the new opportunities in front of me. I began working with Michelle, and she helped me develop a process to my day so that I stay focused and on-task. I put these processes to work, and what was normally my slowest month in the past, became my busiest! And that has really helped my overall bottom-line.
