This Year I

Your Best Is Your Ultimate Victory My social media feeds are already pulsing with thousands of Melaleuca customers sharing their #ThisYearIWill goals with others to fuel inspiration—and to help hold them accountable. I’m reminded of how this technology can be an enormously powerful tool. Rather than putting out negativity or complaints into the world, you are all inspiring others in your life by your example of focusing on concrete steps to make your dreams come true. Looking at some of these posts on Instagram and Facebook reminds me that Melaleuca is the perfect vehicle to help you reach your personal wellness and your professional goals. The variety of the goals speaks to the great diversity of our extended family. Some are focused on being better parents and cultivating healthy environments for their families. Others seek to reduce their financial worries by growing their residual incomes through their Melaleuca businesses. Others simply want to eat better and live a healthier lifestyle—which can certainly be a challenge coming out of the holiday season! It’s easy to write down what your goal is. It’s more difficult— and ultimately transformative—to write down why this goal is so important. Let me give you an example. My goal is to lose 10 pounds by March. Clear enough. But why is this important to me? When I do some reflecting, I know that it’s not just about the pounds, it’s about my health and my future. It’s about lowering my blood pressure and increasing the likelihood of holding my grandchildren in the years ahead. With that motivation in mind, I’m now ready to get out there and make my vision a reality. I suspect by now you have already set an important 2016 goal, but have you defined why it is important to you? The book currently on my bedside table is The Champion’s Mind: How Great Athletes Think, Train, and Thrive by renowned coach and professional counselor Dr. Jim Afremow. He writes, “There is nothing wrong with visualising great things, but you also have to have the law of commitment to follow up.”

Earlier this month, thousands of Melaleuca customers and business builders came together at 70 locations across the U.S. and Canada to experience the Melaleuca 2016 Launch webcast for themselves. Without a doubt, the most powerful moment for me was the 2016 goal setting session, in which the attendants set their personal and professional objectives for the year through our #ThisYearIWill campaign. This was the moment that all of the excitement of Launch came together to move from energy to action. The simple act of putting a goal down in writing is a signal that you are not just dreaming of a better life—you are actually making it happen.
