“It’s the End of the Old Year – It’s the Start of A New Year - It’s A New Beginning”

May we each take the time to stop and think of all we have and of all we have enjoyed during this year of 2015.
 
May we hold the memories created, deep in our hearts, to fall back onto to help renew us during trying times.
 
If you are sitting and asking yourself, “Where has this year gone and what did I accomplish?” Remember it is not too late for new beginnings.  Whether it’s a new year, your birthday, Independence Day or a new moon, just open the door and walk right into a fresh start.

With that being said, as we ponder this year and the successes and failures we achieved, we should choose to make the New Year, which is almost upon us, a more positive one, learning from our mistakes. Remember, the mistakes we make is the glue that holds our successes together.

Our New Year’s resolutions need to become patterns within our daily life. We hope that 2016 will be your healthiest and most abundant year ever. It takes personal commitment to feed and exercise our bodies, so our body ultimately can operate and serve us; so we may continue to be of service to others.

We truthfully believe that “life is what you make it”. Even through the rough times in our journey, we have always learned and gained from the experience. A positive attitude is a state of consciousness and is not limited to a select few; however, it must be nurtured, cultivated and allowed to mature. Our behavior and choices in life are exclusive to us and not the results of others. Upon individual realization we will know and accept that we are blessed with a God given gift on how we choose to live and act out our life.

Invest in yourself and discover how expansive your world becomes. We have been blessed with multiple gifts of life and it’s up to us on how we use those gifts to empower ourselves as well as those we love and care for. Young Living’s Essential Oils and Essential Oil Enhanced Products are part of the gifts we have been given and to share them with others will help to empower others as well as ourselves.

      In life, what we are reflects what we think about.  In any kind of journey, to succeed, it is important to keep a positive attitude.  Once you have decided what is right for you, pursue it!

      If you are willing to put forth the effort, you can be an achiever.  Of course, some people may put effort into running around in circles, but that isn’t what success is about.  So put away your worries and fears for now.  Lean back, close your eyes, and dream about all the best things that success can bring you.  What do you choose?  Are your dreams of physical, financial, emotional or spiritual things?  They should be both broad and specific.  They should also be logical, because if they don’t make sense to you, you won’t achieve them.  And make them positive, so that there won’t be any doubt in your mind as to the end result.

      Once you have identified all the things that make up your dreams, write them down.  These are now your goals.  Make them detailed and focused.  Next, write down what it will take to reach your goals and be specific.  How much will you have to earn to accomplish your goals and dreams?

      Give some serious thought to where you are with your Young Living career, and where you are going to be in one year.  Remember, no one can achieve universal perfection, but anyone can become perfect at something.  We can drink a glass of water perfectly. We can turn on a light or our television perfectly. Do not overlook the pursuit of perfection at something, one step at a time.  In this journey, while total perfection may be impossible, you will attain excellence.

      As you find your niche, your style of sharing the Young Living story with the people of the world you are choosing to pursue perfection.  In doing so, you will become excellent in your work and ever closer to your goals and dreams. Choose who and what you want to become and go for it with focus, passion, dedication and love.

      Taking personal responsibility for your own health and well-being, by incorporating Young Living’s Pure, natural products is becoming a necessary choice for better health and longevity. By teaching others personal responsibility for their lives, you can make a difference in men and women and children’s lives who are seeking to find better health, wellness and are choosing to build for their future financial independence. Helping others achieve their personal, health and financial goals gives one great pride and satisfaction; because as we help others achieve we ourselves achieve the same.

      May the GENUINE COMMITMENT on the part of those who have come before us, who has brought our world to where it is today enabling us to live lives filled with possibility and promise, never be disappointed in us; because it is a priceless legacy and one which can continue to grow with our strong and sincere TRUE COMMITMENT to keep going.

     May your GENUINE COMMITMENT never give you a chance to say, “I could have done better”.
 
It’s a New Dawn, a New Day, a New Year and a New Beginning.
Just open the door and walk into a fresh start; a new way of life!
A Life of Wellness, Purpose and Abundance!

May we all enjoy a Great and Abundant New Year!
