Rediscovering the Secret to Dazzling Success After 20 Years
When I started my new job selling door-to-door, it felt like a dream come true. From the very first moment, I was thrilled. As I approached each house, I couldn't help but rejoice, thinking, "I'm so incredibly glad to be out here instead of being stuck in that cubicle." But after a few weeks, something shifted.
My Journey with Fuller Brush
Remember the Fuller Brush salespeople? Those iconic figures who knocked on doors across America, selling brushes and cleaners? In my early twenties, I was one of them.
Before this, I'd endured four excruciating days at an employment agency. Stuck in a tiny cubicle making cold calls from the yellow pages, I had to resort to deceit during my first interview when I tried to lure a candidate with a fake job listing. I couldn't bring myself to continue, so I left as soon as she did.
Switching to door-to-door sales was a breath of fresh air. No more cubicles or phone calls. I was outdoors, enjoying the June sunshine, interacting with people face-to-face. Most importantly, no deceit?"I only sold products I genuinely believed in.
A Blissful Start
I was overjoyed and enthusiastic from day one. My sales soared?"I managed to sell to nearly half the people I approached. Back in the early '60s, hitting a hundred-dollar day was the goal for a Fuller Brush person. While others worked late to reach it, I'd finish by five or five-thirty with $120 to $130 in sales.
But soon, my sales started to decline. My enthusiasm waned, and I found myself reflecting on what was going wrong. After a few months, I quit, deeply disappointed with myself.
A Two-Decade Mystery
For the next twenty years, I was haunted by the question of how I squandered a seemingly perfect opportunity. Eventually, I found the answer.
The secret to my initial success was simple: I was overflowing with gratitude and joy. I loved where I was and what I was doing.
Years later, when I consciously embraced gratitude again, everything changed. Opportunities began to appear, and life felt serendipitous.
The Power of Gratitude
When I resumed being thankful, amazing things started to happen. Challenges remained, but I no longer viewed them as obstacles. I saw them as intriguing puzzles to solve.
Even now, when life feels overwhelming, I pause to appreciate everything around me. I remind myself, "I'm so glad to be here now," and I repeat it until it resonates with me.
On the surface, this practice might seem illogical, but it works.
How to Transform Your Own Life
If you're inspired to try this approach, start by listing your problems. For each one, say, "I'm glad this is happening. It's interesting, and I'm here to learn from it. I'm so grateful."
Commit passionately to this mindset. Merely reciting the words isn't enough; real enthusiasm is essential.
Recognizing the Change
You'll know it's working when the frustration fades, and life begins to cooperate. Little things go right, and people respond positively to you. Each night, you'll feel as if you've had a wonderful day.
If traditional methods haven't worked for you, try being thankful?"even for the challenges. You might discover, as I did, that there's a miracle in every mess.
