ESSENTIAL EDGE
THE
NEWS OF THE WORLD LEADER IN ESSENTIAL OILS
Volume 3.8 August 2013
Founder’s Message WHILE I WAS in Jordan driving from Amman to Petra last October, I knew I had to find somebody in Jordan to help me with the World Peace Caravan. I didn’t know who and I didn’t know how, but that didn’t matter. As I reached downtown Petra, I hadn’t eaten, so I pulled into a hotel that had a buffet. A gentleman greeted me and asked, “How may I help you?” He had no idea what he was in for! I replied, “I need a man who knows the king of Jordan, a man who knows the minister of tourism, a man who speaks English, a man who knows camels, and a man who knows the history of frankincense—oh, and I need a man who can help me with the Jordanian national television station.” The man said, “I might know someone; let me make a call.” I filled my plate and started eating. I was soon approached by a man who recited back to me my requests. He said, “I work in the Aqaba office and my boss’s name is Omar. He is and has been a tour operator in Israel, Egypt, and Jordan for 27 years. He is personal friends with the Senator of Jordan and the Minister of Tourism. He speaks five languages and was an ambassador to the United States. He’s related to the king and his sister works for the Jordanian national television station.” Omar is now our local caravan tour operator for the World Peace Caravan. These kinds of miracles—big and small—are not exclusive to me; they can be yours just as easily as they are mine, but they do require you to believe in something so strongly that you are willing to do just about anything to obtain, achieve, or accomplish it.
The 2013 International Grand Convention was
this summer’s BLOCKBUSTER EVENT! Infused with stimulating new products, inspiring
keynote messages from some of the world’s
best motivational minds, and unforgettable experiences for all, Young Living’s grand
spectacular defined what it means to believe in yourself, in your dreams, and in Young Living.
YOU KNOW THAT when Gary Young takes over the convention stage wearing a bedazzling silver jacket and air-playing a trumpet to a wild beat that something very exciting is about to blastoff. Say hello to Young Living’s NingXia Nitro™! With a very special appearance by the Nitro sand rail—the co-star of the heart-pounding Nitro video—blazing in fireworks, Gary unleashed raw energy by introducing NingXia Nitro. “You look at energy drinks on the market, and they are frightening,” he explained from the stage. “I wanted real energy,
and Nitro is real energy! It is lasting energy without the crash. When you add it to NingXia Red®, it will lift you for 6–8 hours, which means more time teaching and sharing Young Living.” If you haven’t noticed by now, creating energy is a new focus at Young Living. Since we can’t create more time in a day, we wanted to create more energy for the time we have. But you can’t just live off of Nitro, so Young Living has developed Slique™ Bars as well. “I’ve finally realized my dreams!” exclaimed Gary, jokingly. “With a diet of Nitro and Slique Bars, I’ve eliminated sleep! That means more play, more fun, and more teaching and sharing Young Living!” For Gary, fun means traveling the world looking for the next great benefit to bring to Young Living distributors. As of today, Young Living has nine distilleries throughout the world. “We go, go, go to where it grows because we are Young Living! Some companies talk the talk, but we actually walk the walk,” said Gary. “That’s why we are the world leader in essential oils! There is a solution for everything, and we have it! Become the walking, talking billboards of this belief.”
Dr. Wayne Dyer: Are You in Awe of What You Are Doing?
TO SAY THAT Dr. Wayne Dyer rarely leaves his Maui home to speak at conferences would be an understatement; you see, Dr. Dyer flat-out refuses to do it. So when he appeared on stage at Young Living’s International Grand Convention, something special had happened. “I do not accept speaking engagements,” he said. “But I have a strong belief inside of me that what you are doing is going to alter and shift what is happing on our planet.” Speaking from his heart, without notes or PowerPoint, the “father of motivation” mesmerized Young Living distributors for more than two hours, inspiring them to understand who they really are and the importance of what they are doing— and it’s more than just selling essential oils. “Are you in awe of what you are doing, offering the essence
of what God has created? You should be. Young Living offers little bottles of God; I’m a believer. “You are part of a company that is founded on a miracle,” he said. “If you don’t believe it, read Gary’s biography.” The supremely successful author of more than 30 books casually strolled around stage, sharing insights into the life lessons that have guided him. Through his casualness emanated a piercing message focused on self-belief and achieving dreams. “My goal in speaking to you is not to teach you how to make more money,” explained Dr. Dyer. “If you advance confidently in the direction of your own dreams and endeavor to live the life you’ve imagined, it will chase you and you will meet with success unexpected.” The challenge, he said, is overcoming ourselves, because most of us have been programmed to believe we are ordinary. “In order to reach a level of extraordinary, you have to fall in love with what you believe in so strongly and then sell that love,” said Dr. Dyer. “When you live from that passion, that enthusiasm, you will align yourself with that purpose. “Imagine whatever it is you want. Believe that it is something that has already happened—an established fact, not just going to happen,” he counseled. “Then act on it. You can do anything you want to create for yourself.” The Essential Edge
