We're Positive!

Yea, call it the "Kirby Girl" in me, or something like that.  Sam, yes, Boss man, you so programed me... it took two days, and lots of correction but I finally was able to answer the phone and make those calls, confidence and positive.  Incredible growth during that time.  I had to be positive in everything.  We were to answer the phone with enthusiasm and say "We're Positive".  The sales calls or calls to enter contests from the customers home ALWAYS had to be excited, ready to go, over the top... with positive.  If it was something negative (a no, to the price or a no to the purchase, we couldn't say that, we HAD to make it positive, had to!)  Oh the lectures!  Haha!! Fake it until you make it, and then they will never know you faked it!  Lots of great memories, and one of the best bosses I have worked for, motivating force. 

So, looking over things for my test, my recertification.  I noticed something.  Well, yea, I realized how awesome my pro-d book is, even better the notes I took in that class.  WHOOOHOO!  Somehow it all blended together, sorry Mr. Sanders, I know, it was 5:30pm-10:30pm after a full time job.  My bad.  But Sir, I did take notes, and thorough.  Bet you didn't think you'd continue to hear thank yous seven years later.

Speaking of Jon Sanders, I gave him a book back then... The Dream Giver, Bruce Wilkinson.  Honestly, I have read only the first half of the book.  (confession, I know).  Its a parable, though, it reads pretty fast.  Its about a "Some body" from "Ordinary" who is surrounded by "Nobody".  He wants to stand out, wants to be a great "Somebody".  He has to overcome fears and challenges along the way... His journey is great. 

I digress... this was supposed to be about me getting my certification back.  Going through everything sparked lots of stuff.  But one of the BIG things, and I was told it was a great idea by a few people today... is looking at positive affirmations.  So everyday, gonna work on posting at least one of those a day.  I am on FB all the time, and starting up my twitter account again.  Haha, long story.  But why not BE that light, to more than just one person, why not just continue to share it amongst my friends. 

I mean I am always positive in the morning, and try minus my rants, to keep it positive.  This is really an extension of that, thinking of it as my note on the mirror for the day.  LOL.  BTW, I have one on each of my mirrors in my room.  Just gonna list it as the affirmation for the day, see if it goes anywhere.  I hope it takes off.  Hope it makes people think.  Hope that it can give people just a bit of hope... something.  There is so much negative out there, so many things we encounter everyday.  Outside forces that tear at us emotionally, mentally, physically.  I hope to just be that light. Even if its for a few moments...I think this is another facet of Matt's question the other night,  WHY?  My response is still, WHY THE HECK NOT?!
