Starfish Throwers are the Reason we Market Himalayan Goji Juice

Starfish Throwers, Fred Rogers and Himalayan Goji Juice

Greetings everyone - wow what a wonderful day! I just returned from a walk on the golf course right behind our house. I talked to a couple of gents who were setting up a drink machine on the 14th tee getting ready for a tournament. Everyday is a new day and an opportunity to make a difference in someone's life. We never know who it may be, that's just part of the excitement of sharing Himalayan Goji Juice with others.
The point is if each day is not an exciting adventure of sorts, well you could use a wakeup call. When you're trying to make a difference like in sharing Himalayan Goji Juice with others, you're in effect planting seeds. Some of those seeds will bear tremendous fruit, others will lie dormant for many years before taking root, other seeds will simply die. Here's the rub though, you don't know which seeds will grow and which ones won't. So you just keep planting seeds, never knowing whose life you'll make a tremendous difference with, just like the starfish in the story below.

The following is a letter from Ray Faltinsky CEO of Freelife.

It's You I Like

Dear Friends,

You've all heard the story.

It is powerful in its simplicity and its message.

Every afternoon, the young boy walked along the beach where he lived. One day, he noticed that when the tide went out, there were many starfish left stranded on the beach, only to die before the water returned.

The young boy began to pick them up and throw them back into the water. There were so many. However, he did what he could.

One day, an old man walking the beach paused and observed the boy as he threw the starfish back into the ocean. He confronted him and asked him what he was doing. The boy did not answer. The old man turned him around to look down the beach where there were thousands of stranded starfish.

"You'll never make a difference," he said. "There are just too many. Forget about them. Just enjoy your day."

Purposely, the young boy reached down and picked up another starfish. With all of his might he threw it as far as he could into the ocean. Then, he turned to face the old man. As he looked into his eyes he said, "I made a difference for that one."

What a wonderful message that is. You can be the difference that makes a difference!

You can touch someone no one else can. You can show kindness, listen to someone, share a burden, try to understand. You can give the goodness of Himalayan Goji Juice, and the opportunity for financial freedom.

Some of us have even forgotten the thrill of receiving an unexpected letter. There is a sense of eagerness and anticipation as you open the envelope, wondering what is inside, and who has taken time to write you.

I have been so fortunate to have people write to me—people that I have only met once, or perhaps not at all. They have come to one of our Conventions or other meetings. This unexpected treasure came to me several months ago from a young FreeLife Family member. Let me share it with you.

Dear Mr. Raymond,
I love your hair. And, I think you are a really nice man and funny, too. When I am old enough I am going to be with those other leaders on the stage. I am going to hug you because I know that Himalayan Goji Juice is good and I tell everyone about it. I am 14 years old. I wish I was older but I am not. I am going to help people.
Love,
Theresa

There is a fourteen-year-old "difference maker." This little girl is a "starfish thrower." She is going to be the difference that makes a difference. Her short letter inspired me and made me want to do better.

We have so many difference makers in FreeLife. Their service often goes unnoticed because some think, "There are so many starfish, you can never make a difference." The truth is that we always make a difference one person at a time.

You may never know the extent of your influence, or the reach of your service. However, I promise you they will know. Your willingness to help will never go unnoticed.

One of the great starfish throwers was a wonderful man named Fred Rogers. His television program, Mr. Roger's Neighborhood, sent a message of love and service to generations of children.

On one occasion, a little boy in a wheelchair was in the audience. Mr. Rogers went to him and knelt beside him. "Why are you in a wheelchair?" he asked. The little boy said, "Because I was in an accident that broke my spinal cord."

Mr. Rogers said, "What would you like me to do?" The little boy said, "Will you sing with me the song, 'It's You I Like'?"

So together, Mr. Rogers and a little boy sang the words Fred Rogers had written and sang so many times:

It's you I like.
It's not the things you wear,
It's not the way you do your hair—
But it's you I like.

The way you are right now,
The way down deep inside you—
Not the things that hide you,
Not your toys—
They're just beside you.


It's you ... I ... Like!

Thank you for continuing to serve others, and for being the difference that makes a difference.

Love,
Ray

Himalayan Goji Juice a Product with a Foundation of Love

Often I'm asked how is Himalayan Goji Juice different. I mean with all the other juices on the market (noni, mangosteen, acai, etc) what’s the difference. Aren’t they all the same?

There are a number of things, but I believe the biggest difference with Himalayan Goji Juice is there"s more love built into it than any other product. Here’s one example of why I can say this:

This is a letter from Ray Faltinsky CEO of Freelife.

May I share with you a personal experience?

I wish you could have been there for the toast.

I had agonized over it for several weeks, knowing that I would have an opportunity to tell my lovely wife Tricia what she meant to me. It would be her 40th birthday, a celebration to be shared with family and friends at a beautiful resort overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

How, in a few short words, do you communicate to the love of your life what she means to you after 23 incredible years together?

I think all men share this common dilemma. We are long on feelings, but short on words. So... I struggled.

I was certain of several things. First, no gift I could give her would be as meaningful as the words I would speak. Second, when we met as teenagers, we were both financially "broke," and so it was not material things, but rather the words we shared that began to build a lasting love.

As I searched through our years together, three pivotal moments stood out. They were so clear, so vivid, that I could easily see them before me now, like watching a movie.
The first was when I saw her for the first time. She stepped out of a car-with all of the flawless beauty of youth. Our eyes met, and I thought, "This is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen."

The second occurred some ten years later. I stood nervously in the church. Then the wedding music started. I looked, and there she was, walking down the aisle, and I thought to myself, "I have never seen a more beautiful sight in my life. A pure Angel."

The third occurred the morning of her 40th birthday. She lay on the pillow beside me, and I watched her sleep. As I reflected upon our last 23 years together, I was overcome with feelings of gratitude, appreciation, and love.

She was now the mother of four children and the most supportive wife I could ever ask for. I thought of her patience, her character, her wisdom, and her sacrifices for our family. Complete unconditional love at its best.

Then came this powerful insight: Her beauty was "inside out." As she slept I thought, "She is like a fine wine, now more beautiful than she has ever been-physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I am the luckiest man in the world!"

And so, as unpolished as I'm sure I was, I told her those things in front of our small group. It was a memorable evening.

Some years ago, a person who attended one of our Conventions wrote me a letter and shared these few powerful words:

"I came to Convention to see what it was like. I left Convention seeing what I was like. I could see what I could be if I only tried."

What a rare and wonderful insight. That is one of the reasons I love our Conventions so much. People gain valuable insights about themselves, about others, and about their potential.

Come to Orlando and be with us. And in the process, perhaps you will see that you…

Have incredible potential…

That you can begin again to change your life…

That you are not just a number, or an ID, or an address.

You are an important and beautiful part of our FreeLife Family.

Then, as you sit in our audience, Kevin and I can raise our glass and say, "Here's looking at you. The real you. The most service-oriented beautiful group of Marketing Executives of any company anywhere in the world."

I'll be looking for you in September.
Ray
