Honesty with one’s self leads to compassion for others! Do you agree?
One of the daily habits of a Network marketer is prospecting. In other words, you must love meeting people from various walks-of-life. There will be times when you will feel frustrated when your prospect do not turn up for the appointment. However, if you want to be successful in the business, rejections should be part of your daily chores. It should be treated as normal.
Being in the business for quite sometimes, I’ve learned to accept the fact that compassion should be part of me. One of the things that I always practice is compassion exercise as it will give me a personal sense of peace apart from my daily prayers. This exercise was first introduced by Harry Palmer – Resurfacing.

This exercise can be done anywhere that people congregate. It should be done on strangers, especially your cold-callings prospects, unobtrusively, from some distance. It would be good if you could try to do all the five steps on the same person.
With attention on the person, repeat the followings to yourself.
- “Just like me, this person is seeking some happiness for his/her life.”
- “Just like me, this person is trying to avoid suffering in his/her life.”
- “Just like me, this person has known sadness, loneliness and despair.”
- “Just like me, this person is seeking to fulfill his/her life.”
- “Just like me, this person is learning about life.”
Some variations of the compassion exercise are as follows.
- To be done by couples or family members to increase understanding of each other.
- To be done on old enemies and antagonists still present in one’s memories.
- To be done on your prospects especially those who rejected you.
- To be done on alien life forms.
I’ve personally tested the effectiveness of this exercise. It makes me feel good and cultivate peace of mind. It could change your life and other people’s life if you sincerely do it. It won’t cost you a penny, in fact it give you some motivation to succeed in whatever you do by being honest to yourself.
