Something has changed. 400 people from across Italy gathered in a room with the intention of improving their quality of life. 400 to give and receive hugs, warm smiles 400, 400 friends willing to look into your eyes with absolute sincerity, 400 people who are moved and laugh out loud thinking about his life all together. No shame to be vulnerable, at most, to take note of pride. Thank you for my life for this experience.
How did that happen?
I happen what happens to many. At one point it was time to come to terms with my limitations. A moment postponed for so long, as long as life has presented the bill, like it or not. And it was heavy. Rocky said: "No matter how many times you fall, but how many times you get up again" Batman's butler asked: "Why do we fall? To learn how to get up! "
With these examples before our eyes, one does not feel like a cool, even in bad luck? Thus, even in time of distress, a little voice inside me saying, hey, it happened to Batman! For someone who graduated with a degree in sociology superhero, believe me, it makes a difference. However
.
I had missed the target from different points of view (work, love, art and in some ways, friendship) and I started to wonder: how to straighten my life? The clock is ticking, are no longer young and, Frankly, I have the moral ground! The crisis in four decades can not wait for them to really accomplish?
For a while, 'I thought I'd flee the country. I say "escape" because in fact the transfer plan was pretty smoky, looking back in hindsight. I went to London and I sniffed the air. He knew he was burned butter chips and McDonalds. London is fantastic, but we have to go in the right spirit and I knew that my spirit was wounded. So wrong. A miss
were not the ideas, even those too. Instead of hiding the motivation to vigorously pursue whatever idea, to engage with passion in my life. Yet
remember a time when I was determined, sure of myself, full of expectations and always ready to play around.
You know what I mean?
Because he who seeks finds, I began to see the large face in front of such a smiling, Anthony Robbins, I knew by name but not in reality. A mountain of a man with white teeth and an enthusiasm for life frankly irritating. In the video talks about why people do what they do. The fact that there are lazy people (like I felt), but people who have not yet found their personal goals and have depotenzianti habits, thought patterns that sabotage success, and much more ...
American, OK? I had always thought. Moreover, I had always known. 'm Not a fool, I will.
only that the words of Robbins were not flawless, damn!
Only this giant of a million dollars had a mind as sharp as a razor and say things that are so logical and incontrovertible that I could not contradict him even with my extraordinary intelligence. I just do not talk to smile to life with new age attitude, spoke of taking it by the balls, life ... and take responsibility for exactly where we want to take it! Sure of success? No! Sure that it is worth it? Always and forever! But how? Well, 'he had a couple of tips ...
Guys, I was so tired of feeling depressed for no apparent reason, to see so many unhappy people around me or even just demotivated!
My brain had begun to select the information that interested him. I noticed more and more intelligent, educated, affluent and with a huge potential for happiness, unhappy with their lives or closed by the suffocating limits that were built by themselves. Some of these people confide in me, perhaps because they noticed that I was suffering the same "disease" or perhaps because they saw that I share in their fate.
The speeches had one thing in common, summed up thus: "I do not know what I want from life, sometimes I feel so bad and I do not know why!" That stinking
Robbins had several answers. I became interested in his theories and schools of thought they came from, derived from psychology, and I began to feel that something stirred within me. Why do some people have all the luck and I am unhappy? Why do people like Elvis, Michael Jackson or Maradona to make striking examples are so rich in possibilities and spoil yourself? Why do others have a troubled life, see and experience the worst suffering and yet they are happy? Some become examples for all of humanity! I think of Nelson Mandela, a man who suffered 27 years of imprisonment, and then sought reconciliation - not revenge! I think those who have little or nothing and is happier than a rich man cocaine and strong beyond measure despite works like a mule and earn very little.
I was spinning like a top. I read books about books and I felt I had found something worthwhile to think about.
Only that at some point I had to prove all those theories about me, otherwise they served? Because he who seeks finds, one evening in June, I found myself in the midst of hundreds of people listening to a trainer who years ago had studied and worked directly with Robbins, one of which is called the "Anthony Robbins Italian."
Needless to specify that I was upset about, right? That's how my brain works, before the news and especially happy people, stands at attention. On second thought, it is much easier to feel close to the suffering that those who radiates joy ... that gives us a little 'balls. Why the fuck is so happy?!
And this trainer: a million dollar smile, vitality, a thousand, a rare ability to attract the audience. In short, a man who radiated happiness and confidence in himself and informed the people something to believe in bad. And he, too, had the audacity to say lots of things make sense. But how is it possible? It was not a well-known psychologist, was a venerable academic, was not even American! Roberto
Re: how dare you?
Ok, I made an appointment with someone from his staff, un coach (cioè un professionista che aiuta le persone a raggiungere i risultati desiderati e allinearsi un po’ meglio con i propri veri obiettivi, che prima di tutto vanno distinti e capiti, mentre la norma è: non so cosa voglio!)
Convintissimo di sentire cose che sapevo già, ho incontrato questa donna incredibilmente radiosa che mi guardava negli occhi con sincero interesse e mi ascoltava DAVVERO. Ora, io sono un tipino sensibile e sul chi vive, ma più la conversazione procedeva, più questa coach mi era simpatica.
La sua è una professione, ok? Non mi ha mai detto ti aiuterò gratis. Voglio dire che non è una volontaria del Sacro Cuore, ecco. Però ha detto: “Sono convinta di poterti aiutare, if you want to really get in the game. I will make 30% to 70 thou. "And to prove that he had to share some argument, he told me two or three licks that I have done all the blood flow to the brain in a second and then cascade to the heart.
It started well.
One evening a week I joined a hundred people who listened, took notes, practiced, helping each other. At the beginning, to be honest, it was all very weird: a lot of people smiling, people greeted each other hugs ... and I? Diffidence of a thousand. I knew that I would feel like a fish out of water at first. It was looking for reasons to be. And because he who seeks finds ...
My brain said, hey, where are we? Have you gone mad? This stuff is not for us!
And I tried to answer, I have always paid attention, I always avoided situations that makes me uncomfortable ... but things do not go as I had hoped! Let's try something different now!
He answered all nonsense.
This happened two, three, four times.
My brain did not want to change habits, but I have suggested: get the others, try these, you want it to happen! Eventually I began to feel at ease, to take taste, and I tested the theory that I was transferred. In private life, work, myself. The brain had surrendered, fortunately. Habits can be our allies or our worst enemy, depending on what they are. Sure, it's best not to limit those that protect us in the short term and long-term harm us. A good habit is to consider the risks the possibility of growth. Well, I decided to take this habit.
And the results have started to arrive. One after another, at a speed that I did not think possible. Jump
time: I'm surrounded by more than 400 people gathered in a room in a hotel in Rome. Before us, on stage, Robert King talks about emotions and how to handle them better, we will test with practical examples and personal involvement.
Something has changed, I listen and now understand much better.
I would like to talk about those three days and I think I will, but for now suffice. Soon, soon ...
Something has changed. I continue to work with a lot of new friends. With the knowledge that is possible. You can be happier, you can change, you can aspire to better.
You can find the courage.
