but others in Wendy’s life continued
to dispute her dreams. “The man in
my life whom I adored at the time was
very quick to dim my light. Over and
over he told me to fail fast, fail often,
“I always clung to this truth from Jeremiah 29:11:
‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the
Lord. ‘Plans to prosper you and not to harm you,
plans to give you hope and a future.’” —Wendy Shattuck
and stop wasting my time and energy.”
Wendy acknowledges, “Having a partner
who doesn’t support you is probably
one of the most difficult challenges an
SHARE YOUR STORY
advocate could face.”
However, Wendy didn’t take the
disparaging words to heart. Instead, she
confronted the adversity and set goals.
“It wasn’t easy to think of just one story or circumstance that
I could share to influence or encourage readers. There are so many.
Each step is transformational and builds character.”
“Accomplishing goals takes a clear vision
and hard work. The blessings come, but
not without tears and effort. Although
at times some challenges seemed
insurmountable, pushing through and
overcoming these challenges is exactly
why this business has been more
rewarding than I had ever imagined.”
After meeting some of her aims,
Wendy thanked her first friend for her
remarks, considering those comments
an invigorating test of character. “You
never know what effect simple words
will have on someone. If I had defined
myself and my future according to what
others spoke over me, I would not be
the person I am today.”
Wendy defines herself by the future
she wants to create for herself. “I have
more richness now than I have ever
had,” Wendy reflects. “My purpose
is clear and continues to expand. I
am grateful for the opportunity that
dōTERRA gives each one of us to have
our own business. If you have passion
to help others, a dream, grit, and
resilience, absolutely nothing can stop
you. Nothing!” Wendy decided long ago
that she was going to stop listening to
the negative opinions so she can better
hear her own inner voice instead.
