This lady obtained her ‘Certified NLP Practitioner ’ from somewhere else earlier. She asked me if I think a particular technique will work. So I simply told her this: NLP don’t work if you don’t have the basic INTENTION in the first place. (erm, I still remember the shock look and her face. Ha Ha ! ) To change, we must want to change first ourselves. Else, all these tool are useless. These tools aids us in accelerating our goals but not ‘change’ us to achieve our goals.

The incident I recalled earlier reverberated strongly in my head due to someone I met two weeks ago.

LC (in her mid forties) was a seamstress I met two weeks ago. Her story has put me to shame. She lost 15 kg over 6 months by just going for casual jogs in the morning and sashaying on the dance floor (in the CC) in the evenings.

Does she have a personal trainer ? NO !
Does she have a yoga club membership ? NO !
Does she have a coach ? NO !
NO NO NO !

She is not well educated and does not have access to many resources unlike us.However, by just the sheer POWER of her INTENTION, she managed to achieve her goals. Opps ! Where does that leave us ?

Surely it has helped many to cut out excuses from their lives and aid them tremendously to achieve their goals. Sadly some have abused it and used it as an excuse to turn a blind eye to many other things that are happening in their lives.

Sara was a member of my group in a training program I attended way before I attended POE). She has declared to lose 10 kg in two months. Her daily routine includes waking up at 6am for a swim every alternate day before heading for work and working out at the gym every other day. Well, her weight yo-yoed as she was constantly falling ill due to lack of rest and being over-exhausted from her sudden change in lifestyle. When we said: “Please take care of your health.” She answered,: “ I MUST DO WHATEVER IT TAKES !” lol

There is one other thing called Being RESPONSIBLE to Your Health ! For the rest of us, it may be some other thing. Have we ever “in the name of” DWIT neglect our family, friends or health or use it to take advantage of others? The list goes on. I guess we only have the answers ourselves. It is only a matter of whether we want to face to truth of not. What are YOU pretending not to know?

P.S. As I am writing this post, I am reminding myself too.

P.P.S. Kindly refrain from quoting this post as an excuse to skive from your goals =p

P.P.S. One last thing. Has it become the biggest excuse for others to manipulate you in certain ways ?

Those who know me will know that I am very straight to the point. My views can be pretty controversial or do not really align with stuff shared in LGAT (Large Group Awareness Training).

Please note that I really mean no harm and have no intention to start a fight or even to contradict anyone. Those who know me or have been coached by me will know that I come from a SPACE of learning from everyone and respect free choice. No one is superior than any other. Any postings are purely my views only. I believe that NO ONE Teaching, Method, Coach is suitable for all. There are three views to any thing, “My View, Your View and The REAL VIEW”. Find the view that works for you. My side may not work for everyone. If you find that it works for you, GREAT ! Let me know. If you find that it does not, I will be glad to know yours. We are all here to learn from each other =)

You can anticipate postings on Awareness, Health (Natural + Alternative Healing), Teens, New Age Stuff and Wonderful Recommendations by Me and finally some of my philosopy which arises out from day to day interactions with others..

P.S. I will be undergoing academic studies in Naturopathic Medicine next year so most of my postings will be related to Alternative Health and Natural Healing.
