NEW S OF T H E WORL D L EA DER IN ESS ENTIAL OI L S
A MESSAGE FROM MARY Hello, Everyone, Now that the excitement of the holidays has faded and the newness of the first month has shaped our plans, it’s time to move forward with imagination and creativity to stay focused on our goals, expressing positive determination as we help each other achieve our Highest Potential. Gary always said, “If you speak your intentions out loud, you put that energy into motion. Then allow your focus to carry you to your destination. That is how I have accomplished so much in my life.” It's a wonderful example of how we can reach our goals with absolute belief in self-knowing. This new year promises to be fulfilling and rewarding for those who keep their eyes on that goal and never give up until it is reached. I look forward to hearing of your successes and celebrating with you, as we open new markets, meet new people, and share our experiences. My best to all,
LIVE YOUR PASSION RALLY FOCUSES ON FRESH STARTS January’s Live Your Passion Rally spotlights a better earth, a better business, and a better you
A Young Living Live Your Passion Rally (LYPR) is the best way to spark new excitement, and January’s LYPR was no exception! Close to 200,000 members in 44 countries at more than 3,600 events celebrated Young Living’s accomplishments from the last 25 years while looking toward a bright future fueled by our 5×5 Pledge. They also learned skills for achieving success in building a business and beyond. The year’s first LYPR provided tools for achieving whole-life wellness, from tips on supporting a better earth to using YL products to become a better you. A BETTER EARTH The Young Living 5×5 Pledge will redefine our industry leadership and elevate our positive impact on the earth, communities, and individual families—5 million families, to be exact. Here are some changes you can make to help us achieve the pledge’s goal of zero waste by 2024. • Go paperless whenever possible. • Replace single-use plastics with reusable ones. • Turn off lights when you leave a room. A BETTER START We were proud to launch a new Premium Starter Kit featuring the return of Peace and Calming® and Valor®, as well as refreshed tools and materials. We are excited to offer this better-than-ever resource to our newest members. A BETTER BUSINESS Starting a new year with new goals and a fresh perspective is exciting, but sometimes it’s difficult to maintain motivation and consistency. No matter the size of your business, setting S.M.A.R.T. goals is the best way to grow! • Specific: A specific goal has focus. Instead of saying, “I want to be a Royal Crown Diamond,” say, “I will build my business at least 5 percent per month this year.” • Measurable: A measurable goal is based on metrics. An example is, “I will bring five new people into my downline.”

Be very specific with the dates and deadlines you choose. A BETTER YOU The new year is the best time to take charge of the wellness of your mind, body, and soul.

After a year of being under construction, the Young Living Foundation Hope Center, Sole Hope’s new jigger treatment center, opened its doors on January 11. The Sole Hope team is elated with this new building, an upgrade to their program that will allow them to treat and empower twice as many patients. In May the Foundation successfully completed rebuilding 100 homes and a primary school in Yarsa, Nepal. Members and staff witnessed as 100 families moved into their new homes at the same time. At the close of this project, the Foundation assessed where Nepal’s needs still existed and announced new projects to restore 16 schools and two women’s centers. The passion and dedication of Young Living members shined bright at the 2018 International Grand Convention as over $1 million was raised in support of our partner Hope for Justice. With those funds the Foundation will support the expansion of the Shine Career School, two lighthouse centers in Cambodia, three in Uganda, and five in Ethiopia. Healing Faith Uganda has extended the hours of the Young Living Foundation Malaria Center from three days per week to five. This Malaria Center, located on the banks of Lake Victoria at the onset of the Nile River in Jinja, Uganda, is an area where malaria transmission is at an all-time high. The extended hours are allowing the Healing Faith team to maximize their outreach, ultimately saving more lives. The Young Living Academy celebrated 23 new graduates in February, marking four consecutive years at a 100 percent graduation rate. Over the course of two service trips during 2018, five homes were constructed for five Young Living
