We are very grateful today for having had the opportunity to meet the founders of Lifemax, Jim and Sherri Wear from Orlando, along with Rod Druyan (Canada’s first Director) and his wife, Gitit Shoval, in their lovely home in Thornhill. It was truly a beautiful day with the sun popping in and out of the clouds while we were enjoying a delicious lunch in the backyard and learning all about Sherri’s and Jim’s experiences and their big vision.
The impression of Jim and Sherri that we had beforehand, through our reading and our upline distributors, was exactly what we saw up front and personal - they truly are a blessed couple whose positivity, good humour, and genuine care for people is noticeable from the second we were introduced to them.
Jim and Sherri have the ability to see far ahead and are always at work planning all the steps required to reach their destination. They shared with us that they have learned a great deal this past year about chia’s properties and benefits, and about network marketing, and people in general. Having just finished their summer tour, they will incorporate all of the feedback they have received, into their company’s plans to have the most up to date technical and marketing tools available, helping all distributors reach their maximum potential. They believe in gradual, everlasting growth with a prepared plan rather than big bursts happening without any infrastructure to accomodate quick growth.
Jim and Sherri have clearly looked beyond success, achievement and performance as indications of their life’s mission. They showed us today that every moment of their journey is lived fully and with love. They are examples of two people who gain a sense of joy and inner harmony knowing that they are helping fulfill others’ dreams.
As Michel de Montaigne put it: “The great and glorious masterpiece of man is how to live with purpose.” If this is true, then the founders of Lifemax are a perfect example of revealing to us the masterpiece of man!
Sherri also reminded us today, through the story of her son’s desire for a dog, that the true key is the desire within you - if you can picture it, you can manifest it. Literally, act as if that which you desire, is already here for you.
The spirit of God is within us all of the time and when we can use this to serve the people around us, we will be able to see the true miracles in our journey toward prosperity.
Ron Druyan and his wife, were equally inspirational. Their insights and strengths in the business world have allowed them to use this unique network marketing opportunity to their advantage. Their ability to attract like minded distributors is amazing. Their downline members are very driven and shared many great ideas with us today. We thank them all and especially, Ron and his wife for hosting such a fun and successful meeting.
Our surprise treat at the finale of our get together, was a beautiful rendition of “Greatest Love of All” sung by Gitit Shoval herself and the piano being played by Ron. Bravo! Lifemax certainly is a class act organization with talented, energetic, life loving and inspiring members.
Cheers to the next meeting!
and remember... "Life is too short not to be happy, and life is too long not to do well."

Intentionality and Lifemax
July 9, 2009
Being introduced to Lifemax has been the most exciting new direction we’ve taken this year. Not only does Lifemax have an incredibly valuable product in which we believe, but the support and genuine care for the company that each excecutive member and high performance distributor exhibits, is a sure sign of the ongoing success to be seen as we go forward.
At this time, we would like to say “Thank you” to Nick Lomangino, our immediate upline member, who as a long time colleague of ours as a Traditional Chinese Medicine Specialist, approached us with this new opportunity and clearly outlined all of the advantages that both the product and company offered to him. His refreshingly calm, and no nonsense approach to business was truly appreciated.
Another sincere “Thanks” goes to Chris Prefontaine, the first Diamond Rep of the company, who has done a wonderful job answering all of our tough questions about both the product and company. We enjoyed his informative webinars, his three way conference calls and also his direct person to person seminar which he was able to graciously deliver after driving to the GTA all the way from Rhode Island. Chris’ ability to provide all of the details, to relay his personal message, and to share all of his positive energy, was more than impressive and we look forward to gaining further guidance and inspiration from him.
We’d like to give our final and equally important expression of gratitude to our first downline member, Dalton Ballantine. Dalton has been a long time associate who brings to the table a vast array of talents - we look forward to seeing him shine as he steadily expands his own business, while growing as a person in such a new and exciting way!
At this very start of our exciting journey with Lifemax, we’d like to talk a little about the powerful idea of INTENTIONALITY. Having clear intentions of where we want to go is the true key to achieving our goals. Do you have a clear vision of your ideal and do you appreciate the power of visualization?
Life presents us with small and large challenges on a daily basis and those who succeed, can break through all barriers presented to them only if they have a clear vision of what they desire.
“All I know,” said Arnold Schwarzenegger, “is that the first step is to create the vision, because when you see the vision there—the beautiful vision—that creates the ‘want power.’ For example, my wanting to be Mr. Universe came about because I saw myself so clearly, being up there on
stage and winning.”
Where do you see yourself in 6 months... or in one year? Look at your upline members, listen to the stories of those around you, be inspired by people who are achievers, formulate your vision now and keep that vision very clear throughout each and every day that passes by. Wake up each morning with the question “What will I do today to ensure that I reach my vision?” The power of INTENTIONALITY is your most important tool in propelling you to new heights of success!
If you have not addressed the issue of fear yet, it is time to confront this demon NOW. To ensoure that we reach our goals we must shed of our fears of failure and push ourselves forward without any type of fear blocking our way.
“Ultimately, fear of failure generates a vicious circle that creates what is most feared. To break this cycle, you need to make peace with failure. It isn’t enough to merely tolerate it; you need to appreciate the failure and use it... Body mind masters have made peace with failure, treating it like an old friend playing a practical joke. The greatest inventors, artists, and athletes have all failed many times. Babe Ruth was the home run king of his time, but also the strikeout king.” ~ Dan Millman from Body Mind Mastery
In the popular Nike commercial, Michael Jordan, one of the greatest athletes ever shares this strong message about failure: “I’ve missed more than nine thousand shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times I’ve been trusted to take the winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”
All of the very successful people we’ve met and read about, have has less fear than most people. They know the importance of failing before succeeding and their lack of fear has enabled them to “go for it”.
As David Viscott puts it: “In the end, the only people who fail are those who don’t try.” - this is truly what we believe - there would be nothing worse than spending the last moments of your life knowing that you didn’t even try!
In summary, we’d like to declare three important affirmations with you:
We are grateful for the opportunity to grow with Lifemax and look forward to this exciting journey.
We have a clear VISION of what we want to achieve in 6 months and in a one year period.
To the best of our abilities, we will put all fears aside as we enjoy helping others do the same.
Until the next post, we’ll leave you with this famous quote:
“This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being a force of nature instead of a feverish selfish clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can.
I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no ‘brief candle’ to me. It is sort of a splendid torch which I have a hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it over to future generations.” ~ George Bernard Shaw
