September 6th 2009 Jet Blue pulled up the tarmack in Montego Bay Jamaica and I was relieved. Since I hate flying, my body was tense for the entire 3.5 hour flight. As I stood up to exit the airplane, the excitement within me mounted. We single filed out of the airplane and suddenly the mixture of air conditioning and island heat caused steam to blow from the vents in the roof of the airplane. One lady thought it a form of welcome and my husband and I giggled. We made our way through customs and the energy of excitement was on everyone's face. As we exited customs, we headed over to the superclub resort room where they handed us water and our voucher for our hotel. A few moments later our bus driver came for us and we followed behind him and the bellhop carrying our luggage....I was so excited, I wanted to skip like a kid in a play ground. There is something about the caribbean that soothes my mind, body and soul. Even though I have plans to travel to other countries, the caribbean will forever be my first choice!
We got to the resort and everyone was very pleasant and gave us a smile and welcome. A gentleman walked around with a cold towel and offered us a drink, I thought "yes, this paradise." I felt the tension of my usual fast paced living melt away and my body instantly relaxed. As my husband checked us in, I walked over to the balcony and looked out over the landscape and the sun was shining, palm trees lightly swaying, lush green grass, vibrant flowers and in the distance I saw the turquoise water. I closed my eyes and inhaled the fresh air as the island warmth gave my body a big bear hug...I felt at home. My husband and I made our way to our room and since we didn't get much sleep the night before, we decided that an afternoon nap would be perfect. We had a refreshing sleep for a few hours and got up in time to get dressed for dinner.
Our purpose for this trip is part rejuvination and part work for our business. While i'm here, I've been taking moments to truly thank God for all his blessings. I had a brief opportunity to close my eyes and look at my life just this year alone and I'm truly grateful for all the blessings that has been bestowed on me....I don't take God's blessings lightly. Doing my own business and Traveling is where I professed my life to be years ago and I'm realizing everyday that amazing things are happening because that's exactly where I'm headed. I call it God, faith, belief in myself, belief in my business and belief in our products. It's amazing how when you align yourself with the universe, things start to shift in your favor.
Just two weeks ago I decided to re-read "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill (a book responsible for over a million millionaires worldwide) and low and behold, at our leadership meeting our company announced that they are merging with the "Think and Grow Rich" Foundation! Literally, our company logo will be on copies of their books! How amazing is that! To be a part of a company that has products that not only heals your body, but gives you mental clarity is amazing! As of today my life has changed! I've been working on transforming my mentality for a while now, but today, everything came together for me! I realized that if I'm not successful it's no one elses fault but my own and as of today I'm taking FULL responsibility for my health, happiness and wealth....NO EXCUSES!
My favorite quote says it all:
"whatever the mind of a man can conceive and believe, he can achieve" Napoleon Hill
Blessings.
