The Problem with Change

{a little background}

As you may know, I'm an affiliate marketer. I work from home, promoting the products & services of others, and get paid a commission every month on the sales that I generate.

With the recent company changes in my affiliate marketing program, my blog, along with the ads on the blog, have to be changed. Not only that, but the content I have written, and saved for later posts, have to be re-written. The flyers that I made last year, that I send in the mail with my bills, have to be changed as well. What else? Let me think. Is that everything? 

Seems like I did this same “over-haul” of my ad campaigns not so long ago, because another program had been discontinued, and things were being re-arranged in the program.

Yep, this feels like a repeat…

But is it, really?

Sometimes, things looks similar on the surface, but when you take the time to take a closer look, they aren’t the same at all.

First of all, what looks like a problem is really an opportunity. The challenge that it brings also brings with it, Growth. So, it’s not really a problem at all. Turns out, it’s a gift!

Now you can see how our perceptions make a huge difference in our feelings? And our feelings make a big difference in our actions!

Secondly, and most importantly, most of the time, if you’re working with a company that has a track record of success, you’ll discover that the changes are actually improvements on something that was already “good.” Now, with the changes, things are better, and end up being “much better” in the long run!

Yea, it’s a lot of work, but the rewards are great and far-reaching. The first time that I remember having to do things differently, I remember being excited about the new flyers, the new webpages, and the new blog material. I even incorporated new artwork into the mix!

This time, it’s going to be great! I’m so excited. I can’t wait to get started. Why?

Glad you asked.

Because “new” is often better…especially when it’s carefully researched & crafted, accompanied by self-motivation to improve, mixed with creative energy. This is an awesome mixture for success…always improving.

This situation, the one that involves “more …

…work”, ultimately, is your big chance. You ultimately, have complete control over what happens next. 

As long as you accept the challenge of change, you will grow and improve.

Things can only get better!

Believing in the Positive Will Bring the Positive into Your World

/ Cynthiagarden
Simply affirming that everything is perfect in my world positions me for success. I’m not lying to myself, or deceiving myself.
Let’s say, for instance, that I have no money in the bank. ‘Everything is perfect in my world.’ That’s my affirmation and I’m sticking to it. Why? Because having no money in the bank allows me an opportunity to discover new ways to make money. It forces me to do something constructive about the situation.
Let’s say, for instance, that I have a back ache. ‘Everything’s perfect in my world.’ The pain in my back forces me to take a look at the reason for the pain. Do I need to correct my posture? Cut back on my alcohol consumption? Drink more water? Get better support for my feet? What is it that’s causing my back to hurt? Should I just go see a doctor?
I found myself at the public clinic, waiting to see a doctor. I met other people who had been waiting longer, people who had more pain than just a back ache, people with no family or friends to help them, all sorts of people. I also found myself talking and listening to other people, and at the end of the day, I left the clinic with some brand-new, thought-provoking experiences, along with a prescription from the doctor.
The reason for a lot of my problems, I found, was fear. Fear brings on constriction, limitation, hesitation and pain & discomfort. So, whatever the circumstances are, everything is perfect, because everything works together for the good of the person You love the most…Yourself. You are the creator of your universe. When you simply love and accept yourself, wherever you are today, in whatever circumstance, the Love alone, will see you through the darkness to the Light.
When you look for the hidden treasure in every situation, you will find a blessing in all things.
