As i learn and grow, i realize that there are certain actions, certain skills i have that are perhaps not a positive influence on my path.
i am a sales person...yes i am also florist and i am incredibly passionate about my art...
i could sell ice to the Inuit...
It is a skill that i have taken pride in all my life..
i feel i need to revisit this train of thought...
When i brought up my concerns to my husband, he asked me to describe "how" i sell...
it is instinctual...in the first seconds of seeing/talking to someone, i know what they want and what will please them.
i have been a telemarketer... a phone psychic ... a waitress... a florist..
i have always excelled in these positions, because i can get inside my clients heart very easily.
After i had finished describing my skill...He paused and said...
Your skill is not selling....it is empathy...
Hmm an interesting point to ponder...
i do understand what he is saying exactly...yet....
i still very much enjoy selling....and feel perhaps i should stop being in retail...and perhaps this would help my healing path be more bearable..
