"Never Let Them Dull Your Sparkle"
You've seen this saying floating around, right? I came face to face with this very situation when meeting with a client not long ago. She's building her business in all the right ways, if you've ever worked with me, been to one of my workshops or in one of my challenges, you know I want you to use your FACE in your marketing. You can't build a #relationshipbusiness behind a logo, it's your face that starts the KNOW, LOVE and TRUST between you and your followers. She's using her beautiful face...and guess what happened....(I'm betting this has happened to you too in some way)...she got backlash from old friends. The whole "who does she think she is" kind of backlash. #gutpunch Just when you're doing all the stuff right, and you're making progress, cruel words like this can 100% push you off track. Like WAY off track! Can make you withdraw, Question your path, Pull back your contribution, Shine less, Sparkle less, Feel off, and literally empty your spirit bucket. That sucks! I was so hurt for her. It could be a blatant who does she think she is, or a negative comment, or a backhanded compliment, or even something slight, it doesn't matter...it's not about YOU. Let that sink in! It's all about THEM! You might be leaving them behind and they compare your abundance to their lack, They may be jealous, bitter, what ever they are feeling is what they are projecting on you! Maybe they are just having a bad day and they're looking for company. It's really, really not about you! And if you haven't heard, what others think of you isn't any of your business. So I encourage you, don't let these things throw you off track, ruin your mojo, or put in your mind that you need to sparkle less. The world needs you! Sparkle more my friend, not everyone is for you, and you are not for everyone...find the people that are! They will LOVE your sparkle! I believe in you!
