year is to say and do those things that perhaps we neglect during the rest of the year. We need to remind ourselves that the desires and commitments that give us purpose are for yearround contemplation and action. Young Living provides a strong foundation for achieving that purpose and living your dream. From a very young age, I have always found strength and direction through quiet contemplation away from the city and the cement. I still find riding my horse in the mountains the most healing and creative time for me to find solutions for demanding situations. Some of my greatest insights have come while surrounded by the breathtaking, majestic mountains of God’s creations in the purity of nature, which seems to always bring peace to a soul seeking understanding. Perhaps this is a time to take a moment to step back and reflect on what is most important to you and what you have done to protect and make your purpose grow. How will you continue to positively impact the lives of those around you and make your life and your Young Living business more successful? It’s all about desire
