Inspire Your Burning Desire

Ask a small child what they want to be when they grow up and you will hear grand and glorious dreams. In fact, look around you at Halloween and see the imagination of a child as they become super heroes or princesses or even rock stars. Watch a child play dress up or lets pretend. I think back to my own childhood when my playmates and I spent hours designing our dream homes and describing them in glorious detail to each other.

What happened to all of those grand dreams? Life threw its dark cloak of “settle down and be realistic” over our dreams and smothered them. I invite you to lift that cover and peak underneath. Sometimes there is still a flicker of light burning in that dream.

If you were taught as I was that I had to be responsible and practical. I had to go to school, study hard, get a good job and work hard until retirement. Yawn! That mindset drowns the spark rather than fanning the flame. Dispel that myth right now.

First, the days of going to work for a company as a youth and retiring from that same company with a big fat pension after 20 years is non-existent. Less than half of one percent of the population start and retire from exactly the same company. The ones who do are probably working for a family owned company.

Second, the idea of retiring after 20 years with a big fat pension is also a pipe dream. In the 1950’s there actually were companies who provided a retirement pension to their employees. Now the employees have to at least match the company contribution. In many airline cases, the retirement fund disappeared. In other cases, the company closed and the retirement plan vanished with it. Even if the retirement plan did still exist, it was probably about 40% of what was not enough to live on when it was 100%.

I am a part of the baby boomer generation. So many of us are now reaching retirement age and facing the fact that the body and mind may be ready but the bank account is shaking its head emphatically NO. No way there is enough to retire. In fact, many of the bank accounts are laughing hysterically, “You want to do WHAT? Retire? Not a chance.”

This may be a good thing. “How you ask?” Remember those dreams of starting your own business or developing a career out of your favorite hobby or totally reinventing yourself.

True, I have reinvented myself so many times and absolutely loved the experience. Each time I learned new skills, met new inspiring people and achieved new goals. Dust off your dreams. Ignite your burning desire. Inspire your burning desire.

That burning desire is still within you. It is truly not too late. If your mind is active, your heart beating and you have a burning desire in your soul, you can still achieve your dreams.

You have the experience; put it to use. Stop living on the sidelines. Get in to the game of life. Reinvent yourself and ignite your burning desire. Be your own inspiration. If you need someone to believe in you until you can believe in yourself, contact me. Inspire your burning desire to live the life you desire and deserve. You have heard it said that “today is the first day of the rest of your life.” Put a smile on your face and know it can and will be true for you. I am taking a stand for you and your future.

Turning Point

There are many turning points in life. Or at least there are many opportunities for turning points in life. What you choose to do about those turning points determines your future.

When I was a little girl in 4-H doing my sewing projects, we had original garments and made-over garments. Re-inventing yourself is similar to a made-over garment. In fact, I have re-invented myself several times over the last several decades.

I send a Christmas letter every year. Yes, I know it would be better to write 100 individual letters; however, time simply does not permit hand writing that many letters. I choose to write one big letter to everyone and then also a very short personal note. A few of the people on my annual list are former high school students. I started teaching high school seniors the day of my 21st birthday. Imagine a petite feminine lady walking into that classroom of 40 senior boys; they were 3 years or less younger than I.

Over 40 years later I still hear from several of those students. When I sent the 2008 Christmas letter, I wrote about joining Toastmasters and developing my public speaking. One of the students replied, “Mrs. Love, You are reinventing yourself AGAIN.”

The beauty of an open and agile mind is that it allows for reinventing oneself. You say you are too old to change careers and learn a new business? Really? Grandma Moses started painting after she was 70. John Glenn flew the space mission Discovery when he was 77. My mother married her high school sweetheart when she was 85 and he was 88. The following three years were the happiest of their entire lives. Mom and Pick were like two teenagers in love and enjoying life to the fullest. Don’t tell me you are too old.

I started and finished my master’s degrees after I was 50. I learned tennis, telemark skiing and competitive running after I was 50 and I still enjoy all 3 sports. I hiked the Inca trail in Peru with a 60 pound backpack for my 55th birthday. I joined my first network marketing company after I was 60 and have reached the top level of production and leadership within slightly over 2 years; zero marketing or network marketing experience when I started.

If I can do it, you can do it. The question is how badly do you want success and a better life?

Reinventing yourself is a state of mind. Are you ready for a turning point for the better in your life? Everyone has situations which offer the opportunity to turn our life in a new upward direction. You came here for a reason. Let me help you reinvent yourself.

Marketing presents a small challenge for a determined and persistent mind. Network marketing truly presents a very small challenge for a mature person with an open mind. Think about all of the valuable life experience you possess. Put it to use. I am certainly not ready for a rocking chair. You do not have to settle for your current income or your current lifestyle. Network marketing allows you to reinvent yourself and move your life up a few notches if you are willing to open your mind to a new learning experience and unlimited income. It is your decision.
I find reinventing myself to be not only fun but it also keeps my mind young. Network marketing allows me to enjoy all of these new experiences and new income potential from the comfort of my home. I love my life. How about you?

Come learn about me and lets talk about how you can reinvent yourself and live the life of your dreams instead of settling for a life someone else designed for you.
