ARCHIVE: KAREN'S FEBRUARY NEWSLETTER 2003 VOLUME 2 NO ONE JOINS A PAGEANT COMPETION TO JUST PARTICIPATE IN A PRODUCTION. NO! WE JOIN-----TO WIN! NOW WE ALL KNOW, WINNING ISN'T EVERYTHING, BUT THEN AGAIN, WE DON'T WASTE OUR TIME IF WE HAVEN'T GOT A CHANCE. MORE IMPORTANTLY, ONE WILL "NOT" WIN, IF THERE'S NO VISION "TO" WIN. NOW THAT THAT'S ALL CLEAR----LET'S ALL FAST FORWARD 20 YEARS AND TALK TO THOSE WHO COMPETED AND LOST. ASK THEM IF THEY THINK THE EXPERIENCE WAS A "LOSING" ONE AND YOU'LL HEAR, "ABSOLUTELY NOT." WHY NOT? "BECAUSE WINNING IS IN THE PROCESS, NOT THE CROWN OR TITLE." THEY SURELY UNDERSTAND - THEY DID NOT WIN, BUT REFUSE TO CALL IT "LOSING." FAILURE IS NOT THE LACK OF ACHIEVEMENT, IT IS ABSENCE OF PERSONAL GROWTH. AS LIFE UNFOLDS, WE BECOME MORE AND MORE COGNITIVE OF LIFE'S MOSAIC. EACH PIECE SO PERFECTLY PLACED WITHIN THE LIFE EXPERIENCE. HOPEFULLY, ONE DAY WE "GET IT," UNDERSTANDING THE ULTIMATE PLAN. PERHAPS IT WAS ONLY TO HAVE THE EXPERIENCE. BUT MOREOVER, WE ANALIZE IT - AS A BEGINNING - A STEPPING STONE OR - A ROAD TO THE REAL PURPOSE OF ONE'S LIFE. TO SEE THE BIG PICTURE MORE CLEARLY, BE REALISTIC AS TO YOUR PLACE WITHIN IT. ABOVE ALL, ALLOW THE VALUE OF YOUR PERSONAL GROWTH TO PREVAIL. THIS WILL BE THE GREATEST GIFT YOU BRING TO LIFE'S COMPETITION.

WHEN I THINK OF ALL THE YEARS I'VE BEEN SHARING IMAGING IDEAS WITH THE WORLD, I'M SHOCKED EACH TIME I OPEN "PAGEANTRY" MAGAZINE TO SEE THE TONS OF COACHES IN THE MARKET. I WONDER HOW ANY OF YOU DECIDE WHERE TO GO AND WHOM TO TRUST. MAYBE THAT'S WHERE I START..HELPING YOU CHOOSE THE BEST COACH. THERE IS ONLY ONE ANSWER. BELIEVE ME, EVEN I DIDN'T KNOW THIS 40 YEARS AGO, WHICH PROVES IF WE'RE GOOD, WE'LL KEEP LEARNING IF WE'RE NOT, WE JUST FADE AWAY. HERE IT IS, DON'T MISS IT AND PLEASE, DIGEST IT: THE BEST COACH IN THE WORLD WILL TEACH YOU HOW TO BE: YOUR OWN BEST COACH THAT'S IT! THE COACH WHO DOES IT ALL "FOR" YOU OR DOESN'T LET YOU BE YOU IS ONLY LIVING THROUGH YOU, WISHING TO BE YOU OR TRYING TO RECAPTURE THEIR YOUTHFUL DREAMS WITHIN THE COMPETITION WORLD.
