River Neva in Saint-Petersburg, Russia
What incredible challenges of life and extraordinary privileges TIME has gifted me this summer. From seeing my family across the ocean and swimming in the sea full of love and the commitment of happiness to realization that LIFE is not only vacation and celebration, that life is a work of ongoing achievements to reach the ultimate GOAL that is the PURPOSE of LIFE.
Upon my return (one day later) from Russia, I flew to Washington DC. We usually call this period a jet leg or a time/climate adjustment. Well, I was experiencing a jet-leg of mixed emotions: am I given the LIFE to live at the place I was born or am I where I am and it doesn’t matter what location as long as my life’s purpose is clear and I am living it.
For the past year I have been living the commitment of improving people’s health. This upcoming year I am opening up to new opportunities. In other words, improving people’s health while them becoming financially free.

Roger Barnett welcoming Shaklee family
On August 10th my Shaklee family welcomed me at the Washington D.C. 5,000 members participated in the annual National Shaklee Convention. Among them, Roger Barnett (CEO, who I had a privilege to meet and talk), Bredford Richardson (President, Shaklee International), Dave Fleming (Vice President of Sales and my neighbor), Mark Keller (U.S. Navy Commander and NASA Shuttle Program Pilot), Aron Ralston (Author of Between a Rock and a Hard Place, the inspiration behind Oscar-nominated film 127 Hours), and the entire home office. THEY CARE. They are COMMITTED to others. They are committed to the health of PLANET. Real values of the Shaklee family.
After walking on the stage and being recognized for my achievements, I set down for a morning session and prepared to be educated. But instead, the speaker made me think.
One thought: waiting for life versus making life happen. We constantly want others to educate us, wait for a pay check, wait for somebody to tell us what to do. Why do we always wait for LIFE to LIFE us instead of MAKING LIFE happen? When you make life happen, you create the future YOU want.
Another thought: the purpose of your life becomes the commitment you are living. You are given LIFE. And your LIFE has a PURPOSE, but don’T TRY to find it. “The definition of trying is an attempt to fail”, I heard from the stage. You already have the purpose. It’s there. Just stop, STOP, sit down, close your eyes, and let it be, let your thoughts come to you, don’t force it. (I talked on this topic in my post “I flew some many miles across the ocean”). Your purpose is always in front of you. Now open your eyes and see it. And at this moment, the purpose of your life becomes the commitment you are living. Sometimes it alters. And its ok. ”The commitment is your choice”, I heard from the stage. “Stop leaving safe, start living in faith. Your true commitment is an inspiration in action”. Start acting accordingly. Don’t wait for somebody or something to bring results to you. Instead, ask yourself, “What results do I have to create to get what I want?”

Out of this thought I say that what I want is for each and every one of you to unite in better natural health and open up to ways of making your financial freedom happen. And it doesn’t matter what part of the world we live in. It’s global. Whatever country we go to, there are always people who have been praying for health and jobs. Global health of the planet; global health of its habitats. What can be better than helping others to get an extra $500 a month, a new Lexus, a trip to Mayan Riviera while creating a healthy world. And we all know, if you help enough people to get what THEY want, you get what YOU want. And this is my commitment. What’s yours?
