Which Sort of Shoe Salesman are You?

In the early 1900s, two shoe salesmen went to Africa. After some time considering their sales possibilities, they sent back telegrams to their home companies. One salesman wrote “Situation Hopeless – Stop – They Don’t Wear Shoes.” The other salesman’s telegram wrote “Glorious Opportunity! They Don’t Have Any Shoes Here!”

As we enter a new year, we have the choice to make it a wonderful opportunity or a discouraging missed chance. With a brand new slate, we have the opportunity to change how our lives are going. Whether it’s in our careers, our social relationships, our health, or any other life outlook, all we have to do is decide to change.

Yes, that change requires work, as all great results do. But as we flip the calendars, this is the perfect time to consider taking your health and all other parts of your life to a new higher level! It all depends on your outlook on things, and if you choose optimism towards the opportunity in front of you.
