This is a question that is inevitably asked with experience. No one is immune to it. We all ask this question many times throughout our life.
As a Melaleuca customer for 17 years last month, I’ve asked it way too many times after I’ve tried a product I hadn’t previously purchased. When trying to answer that question, I didn’t have an answer in many cases. Sometimes it was just because I didn’t use any alternatives, such as a multi purpose cleaner. If I wanted to wipe a countertop I would just use soapy water with a sponge. I still do that most of the time but I also discovered how nice Melaleuca’s Tough and Tender is for wiping off the grunge on a door around the doorknob area, and countless other places where quick and convenient cleaning can be easily achieved without a faucet. One quickly wonders in cases like this, “Why did I do this differently for so long?”
Part of the problem is we are all creatures of habit. Many habits are good but some habits can benefit greatly from being challenged and rethought. I would venture a guess this could be a leading cause for asking “why” so many times in life. Resistance to change is stronger for some than others but being open to it carries the potential to enrich our lives. Melaleuca even uses “enhancing lives” in their corporate philosophy and marketing. I can safely say that whenever I try a Melaleuca product, I am better off for it and won over to it. That has near zero exceptions and especially includes long term brand loyalty that I was reluctant to give up—no doubt a leading cause of the why did I wait so long question.
Aside from the no particular reason at all or just never really thought about it (aka not knowing why), the reasons above pretty much meld into a remaining cause. That would be that it’s just not part of your current lifestyle. Good examples of this could be taking nutritional supplements, using salon quality hair care, luxury skin care, etc. Melaleuca offers us all the ideal opportunity to try these lifestyle enhancements at a lower cost and better quality than you can find elsewhere. Be warned though, the quality is so good you’ll find the idea of going back to your old habits raising a different question, “Why would I ever want to go back?!”
Now if only all the other life decisions were so easy but at least Melaleuca offers life enhancements where they’ve done the most difficult part for us and all we have to do is be willing to try what they’ve created.
