FINDING BEAUTY IN THE IMPERFECT - BEING A VIVAMK WORLD INFLUENCER
This was the message from Michael, the MD of VivaMK World, to all partners in the business earlier this week. It resonates deeply with me because this is how I choose to live my own life. In fact, in addition to my Christian faith, it is this exact mindset that keeps me going every day.
My life can feel very messy and imperfect, especially at the moment, when I don’t seem to stop and every day becomes a juggle of responsibilities, including caring for family members, working and completing various chores, whilst trying to keep myself and everyone around me afloat! Invariably, several balls 🎾 keep dropping (more like crashing to the ground😂) leaving unfinished tasks in their wake and revealing a life that appears from the outside as chaotic and neglected!😵💫
I was so very fortunate to have been selected as an ‘Influencer’ for VivaMK World last year. However, after a promising start and somehow being awarded the Rising Star Influencer of the Year Award last September, my life seemed to become increasingly messy and overwhelming. Distractions causing interruptions to my momentum, including worrying about my Mum and other family members, combined with my own overwhelmed mind trying to navigate various mid-life changes seemed to culminate in a derailing of plans and erratic progress.
It is OK and important to take time out to look after yourself or others, but it is still crucial to keep finding and holding onto the beautiful things in life that are lurking in the rubble. The obvious beautiful things are my relationship with God, my family and friends (including our precious cats Ziggy and Spice). However, there are many other treasures to be found if we look. VivaMK World is one such beautiful treasure in my life and having the opportunity to continue as an influencer is an enormous privilege, which keeps me smiling 🙂.
One of the many praiseworthy attributes of the company is their ability to see through the mess and imperfections in people (especially their own partners) and find the beautiful, then uplift and encourage those people to be the very best versions of themselves. Whatever mess I encounter in this world, I know for sure that VivaMK World will always remain a shining light for which I am very grateful. 🙂💡💡💡🌈🌸♥️
