Sales pitch and BEst for all

Recently, an incident occurred in my life where I felt I was taken avantage of. A lady, who I thought of as a good friend, convinced me into buying her product which is of a best for EARTH line as it was making use of natural ingredients. I liked the products and bought them. There is a montly committment of $100. Recently, because of financial concerns I chose to temporarily cancel the monthly committment. The lady found out about it and questionned me on that. Since the conversation was via facebook, it was hard to tell whether she was pressurizing me to continue with the product or just making a firm suggestion. either way, I felt she was being disrespectful to my decision and because of that I stopped communication with her. I questioned the 'what is best for all?' in this case. All I kept thinking was that with the EMS, all this stupid BS on having to make sales pitches and pressuring people into buying things that they don't really need would vanish. Then, I talked to my sponsor and he told me that the whole concept of what is BEST for ALL is that if there is a product that is really needed and would benefit a customer, then that salesperson should be firm and voice thier opinion about their product. Up until now, I was under the impression based on reading blogs that the only product in this world which was best for all was Desteni. That is probably why  I was pissed off at the person who was trying to sell me her stuff.


I forgive myself for allowing myself to feel like a victim when someone questionned my decision to cancel the product. I realize that this whole feeling of being a victim is something that I have always fed and allowed to dominate inside of me. I realize that being a victim means self-suppression and I need to start asserting myself.
I forgive myself for allowing myself to avoid being around that person as opposed to talking to her face to face to resolve the issue. I realize that the reason I did that was because I felt it was wrong for me to cancel a product most likely because I feared the person would be offended.
