The Spiritual Salesman always gets another chance. If he is defeated in his daily toil, he understands that tomorrow yields new fruit and he takes the lessons of the day on the chin like a man.

He has made many mistakes before this day and the error of his ways is the path to enlightenment in sales and in life. He knows this very well. He silently, in the swirling of thoughts and ideas within his mind focuses himself on the here and now. He knows that the present is all there is and he does not dilute his focus on past mistakes and guilt for not doing better.

No Salesman can say that he has won every negotiation. The Spiritual Salesman forgives himself and learns from his shortcomings. He realizes that he cannot be of service and sell his solutions to everyone and makes provision for this. He accepts this.

When the new day arrives he applies his new learnings, not repeating mistakes of the past. He is wiser and stronger. He believes in himself and the skills he has learnt from defeat, has sharpened his sword. His next presentation will be clinically clean and the spiritual salesman smiles in the knowing. He exhales any fear that enters his thoughts and inhales belief for the promising, new day which dawns ahead.

As in drinking from a full cup, he pours himself completely into his next presentation.
