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

The Power of Love and the Rent We Pay.

Love is a powerful gift. When we are loved and when we love we summon the power of unselfishness that can brighten up even the darkest of days. We can never give or receive too much love. Here is a personal message of love from FreeLife International's CEO Ray Faltinsky

Dear Friends,
A very wise and spiritual man once said, "Service is the rent we pay for the life we live."
I believe that statement is profound. Life is a precious gift. At FreeLife, we have a principle that we try to practice constantly. It is the principle of "Constant and Never-Ending Improvement."
Similarly, we ought to practice "Constant and Never-Ending Service." Then, the life we are privileged to live takes on such meaning and value.

Young Casey Mayor lay in an Army hospital in Texas. A roadside bomb in Iraq left him with a mangled left leg. He was alone, discouraged, and after 12 surgeries, uncertain about his future.
Then she walked in. She was a secretary at the hospital. She came with movies, small gifts, and home-cooked dinners. She came to cheer him up because he had no family or friends close by.
Nicole Cartmill wanted him to know that somebody cared—and that his service to his country was appreciated. Young Nicole instinctively knew what many people never come to understand in their lives: Service is a verb!

It really is. It is love in action. And often, it is given in small doses over a long period of time. Then, Nicole Cartmill made another discovery: We can never love anyone who we do not serve!
When Spc. Mayor returned home on convalescent leave, he talked with Nicole every day. Finally, he returned to Ft. Bliss, and while still in a wheelchair and in front of a small crowd at an airport in El Paso, Mayor popped the question.

"I told her, ‘I’ve never met someone like you before,’" he said. "She started crying and she said, "YES!"
Last February 13, they married. Then Casey Mayor made this profound observation: "Something so bad turned into something so good."

That’s what service does. It helps bad things become better, eases burdens, lessens pain, and provides a fertile seedbed for love and appreciation.

When you think of how meaningful the first four words of our mission statement are—TO SERVE EACH OTHER—it gives us the opportunity to frame our FreeLife business in an entirely new context. We can truly become a "service" business, reaching out to millions of people who need our help.
We have wrapped our FreeLife business around core principles that encourage us to be of service every day. For instance, consider the all-encompassing Law of Giving. The more of anything you give, the more you get back. Or, how about the Golden Rule that tells us exactly how to treat others? What of the Principle of Abundance that allows us to view the world and people in it with generosity and appreciation?
How about the concept of being a FreeLife Family that we so strongly encourage? Is that not a welcome mat to the wonderful uniqueness that each person brings to us?

In my mind as I write this, I can hear the wonderful chorus of GojiKids throughout the world whose lives have been so blessed because all of you have given so much. Their "silent song" is a testament to the difference that every single bottle of Himalayan Goji Juice can make.

Recently a man approached me in a parking lot as I was sitting in my car. He looked desperate. He plaintively asked, "Do you happen to have any jumper cables? My battery is dead." He was stuck, and I remember that feeling.

So do you. You’ve been stuck before, haven’t you? Not moving forward—in a rut—unable to get enough energy and motivation and desire to fire up your own engine and become the person you know you can be.
I told him I was sorry that I didn’t have any cables with me but I could call a service station for him on my cell phone. Instead, he approached several more cars, finally finding a Good Samaritan who got him going. I saw him shake his hand and open his door with a smile on his face, until his tail lights faded in the distance.

In FreeLife, we ought not to just carry jumper cables in our trunk, but in our hearts. Then we could always give someone a needed boost of enthusiasm, a charge of encouragement, or a helpful push to get them going.

It is so true. Service is the rent we pay.
Love,
Ray

I can say this without reservation - Himalayan Goji Juice is truly love in a bottle. People ask me all the time how is it different than all the other health drink juice products. And the best I can describe it is like this - suppose we were given a drink. Now suppose we were given a drink by someone we cared about who in handing it to us looked us in the eye for a minute and these words came across their lips as they handed us a drink, "I love you won't you please take this drink as a token of my love!" Doesn't the second scenario feel a whole lot different - that is Himalayan Goji Juice - a whole lot different.

Simple Social Experiment and Your Certificate of Greatness

Here's a simple experiment. I want you - those of you who have any kind of relationship, anything from a friend to a spouse, boyfriend, girlfriend, boss, employee. Do this ask them how you can be of extra help to that person and watch their reaction.

Let me ask you a question – do you like it when someone asks you what is important to you? I’m sure it makes you feel special when someone really pays attention to your wants and desires.

It kind of came to me today. Have you ever been hit by a mental brick? That's a mental brick that hits someone upside the head and gives them a good idea for something.

The mental brick I got hit with had the word encouragement written all over it. I got to thinking, what is the one thing that especially adults don’t get enough of? It’s you guessed it - encouragement. Every person has the ability to accomplish great things - that's right there's greatness within you. But instead of encouraging you to bring out that greatness and let it shine, most people try to drag down others and discourage them and tell them they can't do this or they can't do that.

Well I want to give you a Big Word of Encouragement. I know you'll special and you need to start feeling that you’re special each and every day. We can never be encouraged enough and so I've created for you a Certificate of Greatness. I want you to print it out, fill in your name and carry it around with you, and if anybody ever tries to belittle you or bring you down you can whip it out and show them your Certificate of Greatness. If you ever fill down or discouraged, show yourself your Certificate of Greatness. It's guaranteed to give you an instant pick me up or your money back.



Here's something to think about, if you're reading this you’re my friend. Just a friend I haven't met yet. The point to consider is, "What is a true friend?" Are they someone you just hang around with because you share some simple common interests or are they someone who has your back, someone who will tell you the truth even if it hurts?

Why do most people remain silent when they see a friend engaged in some activity that may harm them self?
Usually it's because their focus is on themselves instead of the other person. It would make them feel uncomfortable to say something to their friend. They would in effect rather their friend suffer through a bad situation than experience the unpleasant situation of saying something which could greatly benefit their friend.

So I ask you a question, what would you rather prefer? "Would you rather be told that the reason you haven't been promoted at work is because of a particular bad speaking habit you have? Or would you rather your friend keep quiet and not say anything so you're never aware of it?"

As a friend that's how I feel about Himalayan Goji Juice. I don't care what people think of me, I've been marketing nutritional products for over 12 years. I've seen and used numerous different products. However, this has been the best of all those products. I’ve had too many people tell me how they’ve benefited from the product, such that I would be remiss in not telling you about it. So as simply one friend to another I recommend you give it a try.

A Story of Service to Others

Recently I attended an Internet Marketing Seminar in Atlanta with some of the top Internet Marketers in the World. One theme kept reoccuring over and over, how can I build better relationships, how can I be of service to others? One of the items discussed was "extending the free bar." Before someone might think I'm referring to a candy bar I'm referring to giving away more valuable information and techniques to improve the lives of others. In otherwords what more can we give away to help others knowing that the more we give the more we will get back in return.

John F. Kennedy once said; Think not what your country can do for you, think what you can do for your country. It's too bad not more people in positions of leadership think that way today.

The following was taken in part from a letter from Ray Faltinsky CEO of Freelife which shows in my humble opinion his committment to serving others.

A very wise and spiritual man once said, Service is the rent we pay for the life we live.
I believe that statement is profound. Life is a precious gift. At FreeLife, we have a principle that we try to practice constantly. It is the principle of Constant and Never-Ending Improvement.
