TriVita: Embrace Gratitude Throughout the Seasons
by Michael R. Ellison, CEO & Founder of TriVita, Inc.
We are just weeks away from the beginning of winter. I was at the ranch in Colorado, enjoying the last of the fall colors with a special guest from the Midwest, when he began lamenting the long winter months ahead. Yes, colds and flu seem to be the prevailing winter experience, but at TriVita, we know it does not have to be that way. A stronger immune system can help make a significant difference in the way you feel and help you escape the usual winter illnesses.
A great way to start revving up your immune system is by using the TriVita Vitamin C System. By taking the crystals in the morning and the time-release tablets in the evening, you keep your Vitamin C levels up day and night. These remarkable products were formulated by Dr. Libby for fast absorption with 24-hour protection. We are offering them at special pricing this month to help you enter the winter months with a stronger immune system.
But experiencing greater health and wellness is not just about adding nutrients to a daily
regimen. It is also about nurturing your emotions every day. It is about feeling that closeness and connection to God and His purposes for your life.
Wellness is not really a destination with an arrival point. It is a journey where you experience the many things that contribute to wellness. After 62 years of many diverse life situations, I firmly believe one of the greatest contributors to wellness and well-being is gratitude. As we enter the holiday season, it may seem easier to express gratitude, but gratitude is not a seasonal experience – it is a state of being to enjoy every season.
Could it be that much of our lives are spent on getting rather than focused on being? If we are always striving to get something, it is much more difficult to focus on what we have and the gratitude we feel. By focusing on being grateful, we are far more likely to attract wellness.
I was returning from an offsite meeting with Chaplain Gene Henderson when he reminded me of a life experience I had told him about; of a time when gratitude dramatically changed the course of my life. Years ago I had been in a business relationship with two people I greatly respected and trusted. Out of the blue, our business relationship was broken and it cost my family millions of dollars.
I was so lost in feelings of disappointment and despair that I decided to take our motor home to the desert, in an attempt to sort things out by myself. My feelings went from anger to hurt and fear of the unknown. After several days, a new thought overwhelmed me as I prayed for guidance: “Michael, you can choose to be bitter or to be better. What road will you choose? What will you attract to yourself as you travel either of these life roads?”
I was so empowered by that thought and the possibilities of attraction, that of course I chose the road of being better. If I was going to be better, then I needed to be grateful, for it would open my mind and heart. By being grateful for the experience, it could make me be better, and better equip me for the future.
As I returned home, I decided to name two sick palm trees (recently transplanted) after the two people who seemed to be causing all my problems. Every time I passed the palm trees, I would call them by the names I had given them, expressing blessing and gratitude toward them. Now, years later, the palm trees are healthy, the people I blessed are living blessed lives, and not only have I had much success in my personal life, but I have entered the greatest time of my life in founding and leading TriVita.
But what if I would have chosen bitter? No doubt I would have done things to act out my bitterness. What would that state of “being bitter” have attracted to my life? Would I be enjoying wellness today? Would I have the joy of seeing thousands of people experiencing greater wellness and yes, greater wealth, with the products and services of TriVita? Not for a minute do I think bitterness would have attracted such wonderful things in my life.
I offer and extend to you today one of the greatest contributors to your well-being: gratitude. Gene told me that he had shared my story – and his own personal experience – with someone who had not had a relationship with their sister for many years. By offering a letter of apology and acknowledging her gratitude for the many experiences they had shared growing up, their relationship was joyfully renewed. We both sat in the car for a few moments, not speaking a word – two men with lumps in our throats, fighting back the tears, experiencing again the power of gratitude.
By being grateful you can help attract that which you desire most in your life – and you will greatly enhance your state of health and wellness.
