ND R “You either have to laugh or cry. I prefer to laugh. Crying gives me a headache.” —Marjorie Pay Hinckley R O dōTE Chris & Kareena Bracken S NEW NEW dōTERRA DIAMONDS A DIA M Finding Balance With six active children, Kareena Bracken understands the word busy. She was interested in dōTERRA, but she just didn’t have the time. Kareena explains, “I had a football game or a dance performance—there was always something preventing me from attending an event.” Sandy Truman, understanding Kareena’s hectic schedule, motivated her to set aside time by asking her to host a class. Kareena agreed. Despite the demanding schedule that accompanies being a mom, Kareena saw value in the opportunity dōTERRA presented. She wanted to pursue the business, but didn’t want it interfering with her family. Kareena shares, “I took a very close look at my priorities in order to create a balance I was comfortable with. I knew I needed to commit to succeed, but I didn’t want it taking over my life.” Chris, Kareena’s husband, was very supportive. He helped her stay on course as she worked toward her goals. Kareena says, “I have done a good job. It wasn’t until this last year that my children realized that I was working.” Although it can be difficult, Kareena believes it is possible to balance a career and family.   Your time is valuable—choose “ only those things that are worthy of your time.” 18 dōTERRA ESSENTIAL LEADERSHIP I SUMMER 2013
