Re-connect With Your Dreams

Recently, we were reminded of an idea expressed in The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. Coelho writes that when we really desire something with all of our hearts, the whole universe will conspire together to make that which we desire into a reality. As we talked about this, we both could think of times in our lives when this truly has come to pass. If you want to experience this in your own life, you need to have a desire that is not just a casual wish. This desire must be something that burns deep within your soul—something that you believe will help make the world a better place.

We have witnessed this principle come to fruition in our own lives. On more than three occasions, we have met and become good friends with people whose creations have touched our lives deeply. Almost through no effort on our own, these individuals have become a part of our lives. It is though we were bound to become associated with them because of the strong connection we share on an emotional and spiritual level. Some call this the law of attraction or Karma—we like to think of it as just good old fashioned faith.

Whatever you choose to call it, we believe it is a force for good that can bring about many great things. When you allow those hopes and dreams that lie deep in your heart to come to the forefront, and choose to do all in your power to work to bring them about, then good things can happen. Don't let fear or negativity get in the way of that positive energy that flows from a person when they focus on the goal of blessing lives and making the world a better place. We invite everyone to dream big this year and re-connect with your desire to bless lives by Together, Building People.

Reach Higher in 2010

Buon Anno! That means "Happy New Year" in Italian. No matter where you are in the world, everyone loves to have a new beginning—a time to begin anew, evaluate the last year, and set goals for the new year. When we take time to thoughtfully plan out our goals, we are in essence creating the future. 4Life is committed to giving you the tools to create your own future.

One of the best ways to make your goals more than just wishes is to break them down into do-able and reachable stages. The key is to make them challenging, but not impossible. This is exactly what our team at 4Life has done with the 90 Days of Power challenge.

Recently, we witnessed an enlightening demonstration; someone who could jump very high was asked to jump as high as possible and touch the wall. He jumped very high and the presenter marked it with tape on the wall. The young man stated that this was his personal best and that he could not go any higher. He tried a few times and indeed he could not jump higher than that. The presenter then placed a candy bar just above the tape on the wall, and told the young man to grab the right corner of the candy bar because it was sticking out a little more than the rest of it. With the audience cheering him on, the young man was able to out-jump his best jump and obtain the candy bar.

This was a great lesson for us. While our goals need to be reachable, they must stretch us beyond what we are currently doing. A little motivation to "sweeten" the challenge, as well as some cheering from others, can really help give us the extra power we need to reach higher.

We encourage you to take the first 90 days of 2010 and increase the power of your business-building efforts. Stretch yourself to reach new goals and challenge your group to do the same. We know you can reach the candy bar—we're cheering for you!

Happy New Year!

We hope you'll enjoy reading this wonderful dream story tribute. As 2010 begins, we challenge you to re-commit to achieving the dreams you have for yourself. We can't wait to celebrate with you!

My husband Noel is a full-time firefighter in Florida as well as a full-time father for both of our small children. He is also fully dedicated to 4Life and the 4Life international family. 4Life has truly become a blessing for my husband in helping him pursue his quest to build something of his own for our family's future. He is a driven individual, with a positive outlook on his goals and dreams. He is such a wonderful and hard-working person. Noel gives 110% when it comes to delivering 4Life's message of health and wellness and does it with such energy that people are eager to listen and learn about the 4Life opportunity. To prove my point, he recently set in place a goal to reach the Diamond status, and he did it in less than four weeks! I am very proud of my husband and I know that whatever he sets his mind to do, he will accomplish it. Presidential Diamond, here we come!

Three 4Life Dreams

This time of year is perfect for spending time with family and friends, and reflecting on your blessings. And it's also a great chance to think about the dreams you've been able to achieve with the help of 4Life. We love sharing in your success!

My mother died several years ago, and my father passed away in 2004. I feared that my family members would become distant with one another, since my four brothers live far away from me. But now that we're all involved in 4Life, our relationships have only grown stronger. We see each other at 4Life meetings and conventions in Utah, Florida, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic. Besides building our businesses together, we spend time with each other, travel, and stay in contact with one another. This is the first of my dreams that has come true.

My second dream that has come true is to be able to help change people's lives with 4Life products. I have recommended the products to many people and I have heard many testimonials from people who have experienced fantastic health support.

I am in the process of making my third dream come true, which is to achieve financial freedom. I am pursuing this dream by searching for people who are interested in the 4Life opportunity. I know that I will make my dream come true and I'm not going to give up. I will continue to look for those people who will walk alongside me toward a better quality of life. It has been a blessing to be involved with this great company.

Reaching Out to Others

During this time of year, our hearts seem to be extra sensitive to the needs of those around us. Serving our mission in Italy over the past few months, we have been reminded of the many blessings we have. A few weeks ago, we began helping a young couple from Africa who had to flee their country due to political unrest, losing everything they had in the process. After a series of incredible events, they ended up in an Italian refugee camp. The couple came to Milan after being told it was a good place to find work, only to discover that the person they had put their trust in was nowhere to be found.

This man and his wife are stranded in a foreign country, with no way to communicate, no place to stay, and no family... and they are expecting their first baby! It has been so wonderful for us to witness how people have reached out to help this family. It certainly reinforces one's faith in the goodness that exists in everyone. It has also been a pointed reminder to us of how much we have to be grateful for in our lives.

One of the great blessings of 4Life is that our science and success put us in a position to help provide service to others. How grateful we are for all of you and the inspiration you are to us. Together, we are truly blessing lives and building people. From the bottom of our hears, we thank you for your example. We are convinced that 4Life distributors have the biggest hearts in the entire world. Together, we continue to make a difference in people's lives by offering them phenomenal health support, the opportunity to experience financial security, and the chance to be part of an incredible worldwide family. We wish you all the joy that giving and receiving brings during this very special time of year.

Growing Together 4Life

Here is another fantastic dream story that we recently received. We love learning how 4Life helps you achieve your goals and dreams!

Ángel Torres and Ana Rivera

Our story began after my husband Ángel completed 15 long years of service in the U.S. Army. We decided that we would like to start something different so we could work together and enjoy the work that we do. That's when Edwin Crescioni and Joel Rivera came to our house to present the 4Life opportunity. Ángel decided that 4Life was what we had been looking for to help us grow as individuals and as a couple. We faced challenges in the beginning because it was our first experience with direct selling. But with guidance from the International Networkers Team, we dedicated ourselves to this new path. Today, thanks to God, our upline, and the International Networkers Team, we have been able to share the 4Life opportunity with many people. We have noticed wonderful growth in ourselves as individuals and in our relationship as a couple. We have hope for a better future, not only for ourselves, but also for the people we have helped through 4Life. Thank you to the entire 4Life family for giving us the opportunity to become better people.

More Beautiful 4Life Music

Last week we shared a very special 4Life song that was performed at a meeting in Barcelona, Spain. Our Malaysia and Singapore markets recently held a convention and celebrated the five-year anniversary of the launch of 4Life in both countries. During the convention, we were treated to an original 4Life song that was commissioned by the 4Life Malaysia office. It was such a thrill to have 3000 people singing together. Click on the link below so you can sing along, too!
