15 Apr Beginning again in London
United Kingdom, destination London.
You know when you're convinced about something even though you've never done it?
London, according to my beliefs, has always been an ugly city, where it always rains, the people are cold, the sky is gray, etc etc etc ... but then comes a fine day in which I am forced to take it all back.
Before long, a reason would bring me before yet another life lesson:
Never judge by appearance or "hearsay." What is not good for others may be good for you. Later you will understand why...
I love training and personal growth. Not only because I have invested and believed a lot in this area over the years, but also because to date it has become my passion/profession (graphicach). Although I have worked with several Italian and foreign training companies, Anthony Robbins remains for me the best motivational speaker.
One day like so many others, as if by magic, I find out that he is doing an event of his own in Europe--in LONDON of all places! In an instant, I reform all the beliefs I had created about that city and ...
I make a reservation, off we go!
"Those who return from a journey are never the same person who left."
I then create for myself the opportunity Of attending a Tony Robbins Live event.
I arrive early in the morning, but I don't have time to tour London as a tourist because in a couple of hours this transformational course begins (duration 4 days: very intense!).
Unleash the power Within (Awaken the power within you) is the name of the event, I am already thinking what strength such a show can have. Upon entering the hall, I could not believe my eyes.
5,000 people from all over the world, 20 different nationalities, no age limit...
Do you have any idea what a mess? But I say, he must be pretty good this Robbins to have such a high number of followers! Just try for a moment to imagine the energy he exudes (in every sense of the word) from so many people.
Finally, it's time to start--the gates open!
Immediately I am immersed in an unprecedented transformation....
Tears of joy, tears of sadness, realizations, exercises, dancing, moments of panic, and your life being called into question every minute. Then, as if that were not enough, Super Tony who speaks English (with an American accent) to you at the speed of light.
There are so many topics covered, from personal growth, to concepts of happiness, to business, to talking about nutrition in all its aspects. In short, I did a total RESET!
In words I would risk being limiting in describing all that I am experiencing ... perhaps this video you can help you understand a little bit more!
After walking on hot coals (yes I did that during the course as well) my transformational journey ends... and it is really the case to say "I START AGAIN FROM LONDON."
Like a phoenix, to be reborn one must start from one's own ashes, this is the function of "fire." Letting go of what is past and starting over from a new present. However now that I think about it, the real change happened even before I took that plane to London. By now it is clear-everything starts from the inside and is reflected on the outside. Whether we like it or not!
"it is in the moment of decisions that you shape your destiny."
Before leaving for Italy again, however, I treat myself to a couple of days as a real tourist, passing through Piccadilly Circus, at Big Ben, at the Tower Bridge, all the way to the stunning view from the Ferris wheel London Eye.
You know what? I'm starting to like this London!
And where had all my negative beliefs about this city gone? In short, never judge before you know. Life is so beautiful that it always manages to confront you with new lessons to learn.
London has now become an annual stop for me (and who knew).
"IF YOU WANT SOMETHING, GO AND CHASE IT."
Consider that in 2014 alone I returned there five times--one of which was to attend the event "The Pursuit of Health & Happiness.", where it featured (in addition to dozens of world-renowned trainers such as Les Brown e Duncan Bannatyne) Chris Gardner, the one who inspired the film THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS with Will Smith. Getting to know him was yet another transformation for me.
After all, when you have mentors who have been successful, how do you think your life can become?
Today, I am happy not only to have learned new lessons but also to have friends, collaborators and clients living in the capital of Europe--LONDON!
HERE'S WHAT I LEARNED:
- Avoid creating beliefs for yourself About something you don't know
- When a train goes by-get it!
- It is at the time of the decisions shaping your destiny
- If you want something go and chase it
- Surround yourself with successful people
- It transforms the Decision in Action
- happiness is a choice.
