Hello Folks,
I hope everyone had wonderful holidays and are excited for the new year! I know I am!
I wanted to talk for moment about Online Games... Ay, those suckers are addictive! I thought I had kicked the habit when I started my Younique business, and I did, for a time. But over the holidays I had a little bit of extra time on my hands and those little buggers sucked me right back in! I'm not a Candy Crusher,but I was playing a variety of other games with vigor! And I realized - this is not good for SO many reasons. I was losing sleep, losing valuable time, gaining weight, etc... So I deleted every stinkin' game from my Facebook profile. All gone! But it made me think... why do you suppose they are so addicting? And I think - at least for me- I know why.
We want to be winners.
That's it. We crave the high of winning. It feels great, right? To conquer a level, get a bonus, etc... Everyone likes to gamble and win. But here's the thing... what are you really winning? Hooray, I got to level 235 of Papa Pear Saga! And... ? Hmm.
I decided to delete all of my games because I realize that there are many other more productive, even lucrative ways to WIN. I choose to get my high by sharing my awesome business, interacting with people, building my skills, and making money and a better life for myself and my family. So, instead of spending time chasing levels on silly games, I am chasing levels of achievement in my business/career, getting more exercise, losing weight, accomplishing things that enrich my life.
WINNING!
XO
Kim
