How to Transform Your Life in 3 1/2 Days

I have devoted a large portion of the last 10 years of my life to acquiring, assimilating, organizing and sharing personal growth information, concepts and techniques. I have had a near insatiable desire to learn and to grow. I have read hundreds of books and articles on achievement and enjoying the good life. I have listened to dozens of audio programs. And, attended countless seminars and weekend workshops to help me in my quest to be better and enjoy and higher quality of life. All of that information combined with a unique opportunity as well as some smart, consistent work has allowed me to create a multi-six figure passive income and, become a millionaire.

This past weekend I attend a weekend “seminar/workshop.” It’s called Landmark Forum. Many of you have probably heard about it. I have had several people BEGGING me to attend over the years. They were all so EMPHATIC about it. And even with their curious enthusiasm, I never went. I thought, “Yeah, yeah yeah. I’ve been to these things before. They are all the same.” I could not have been more wrong… more ignorant. The Landmark Forum is unlike ANY personal growth book, audio or seminar I have ever experienced. There is absolutely NO COMPARISON.

Everything in the world of personal growth has been an addition to that which I experienced in the past. It has been in attempt to fix, alter, better or add to my past experience. The Landmark Forum, instead of additive learning (adding to what you already have), will foster transformational learning, leading you to TRANSFORM your life, creating new realms of possibilities, rather than altering or adding to what you already have. It’s interesting that I was not allowed to take notes for the 3 1/2 days of the seminar, yet the shifts that occurred and the benefits received, again, can not be compared to any other event I have attended, wherein I  did take copious notes. The transformation can be compared to riding a bike. When learning to ride a bike, you didn’t take notes, you just got it. And once you got it, you never lost it. That’s what happens in the Forum.

You will be given access to what you DON’T KNOW that you DON’T KNOW. I got to swim in this never before explored area of my mind and I had many, many, many breakthroughs that make my life being the same, an absolute impossibility.

Let me share one of the minor breakthroughs and realizations I had (I had many, some of which are very personal and which rocked me to the core and gave me deep understanding of why so much of my life doesn’t work, even with all that I know and have experienced).

Any of my readers who know me well, and have invited me to participate in any sport, have probably heard me say, “Oh I suck at sports.” I have declined invitations to play sports dozens of times over the years. Now the truth is, I don’t suck. I’m not that great, but I don’t suck. Even sports I have never or rarely played, I’m still alright at. I don’t “suck.” Prior to this weekend, I had never considered why I always tell people that I suck at sports. It’s not true, so what’s up with that? I figured it out in the Forum.

Several times during the weekend, someone Assisting in the back of the room would bring a note to the Forum Leader (Richard). I noticed that sometimes Richard would read it and put it on the podium. Sometimes he read it and put it in his pocket. And sometimes he would read it, crumple it up into a ball and throw it in waste basket about 3-5 feet behind him.The first ball of paper he threw into the trash went right in. For some reason I was struck by how confidently he did the job. That was a great shot! I thought. There was something about watching that happen that captivated me. Later he did it again. Two points! It went right in the waste basket, no rim, just right in, just like the first time. And again, I was captivated. Great shot! I thought. He is so confident. I continued. And later he did it again. And again it went right in. Man he is good at that, I thought. He is so confident. So committed. He knows he going to make the shot. Why don’t I do that? I almost always miss the basket, even if it’s right in front of me. The thoughts were coming about one a second. Then this understanding came out of know where. I don’t commit because I believe I will miss, therefore I hesitate and don’t follow through and therefore am the very cause of missing and therein reinforce my belief that “I miss.” (I hope you will read that last question twice. It is WHY most people don’t succeed in life.)

This realization lead me to think about how I approach all sports, and perhaps even much of, if not all of life. Thinking back to my child hood, every time I was at bat, I was thinking, What if I miss? When out in the field, and the ball had been hit to me, I thought, I hope I don’t drop it. When shooting a basket, What if I miss? When hitting a golf ball, What if I shank it? I realized that my whole life has been plagued with fears of failing, of looking stupid and wondering what people might think. Where does this come from, I thought.

Inexplicably, my thoughts took me to my very first sporting memory. It was soccer try-outs. I was 4, maybe 5 years old. It was my turn to kick the ball, so “they” could see how “good” I was. I remember two rows of people. One on the left and one on the right, and me and the soccer ball in the middle. The ball was on the ground about 5 feet in front of me. I ran toward it and kicked! My foot almost missed the ball entirely. I kicked the very left side of the ball causing it to shoot quickly to the right. The ball went more right than it did forward, and I felt like an idiot! I felt like everyone was watching. I remember yelling at my shoe if you can imagine. Stupid shoe! Stupid shoe! Then I bent over and starting hitting my shoe with my fist. Stupid shoe! Stupid shoe! How redonculous huh? I realized that in that moment I determined that, I suck! And that became my belief about myself in regards to sports, and who knows what other things. My life has been less than whole and less than complete because of something that happened nearly 32 years ago. And again, this is just one of the lessor meaningful breakthroughs I experienced.

I was given access to what I did not know that I did know, and through the technology that Landmark uses, was able to “clear” much of the pain of the past, and complete the incomplete past. It was really, very incredible.

So, for those of you are open at looking at your life honestly and are willing to be vulnerable and get coached into a higher way of life, I highly recommend this course. For those who had rough childhoods and strained relationships, I highly recommend this course. If you are feeling stuck in your life and can’t figure out why, I highly recommend this course. If you have a lot of pain in your life or anger and want to get rid of it, I highly recommend this course. If you have fears or phobias in your life that hold you back, I highly recommend this course. And finally, if you are a human being, I highly recommend this course.

I dropped $500 to go to a Jack Canfield seminar a few weeks ago. It was a one day course that went from 9-6. It was great, but more of a reminder of what I have already known. The Landmark Forum went from 9am-10pm Friday-Sunday, and then Tuesday night from 7-10:15. Three and half full days were only $385. And considering what I “got” from this compared to any other seminar I’ve attended, I would have paid ten or twenty times that amount. It was that good. And more importantly, it was worth that to me, and more.Now you might be thinking, “How much does Chris get for getting me to go this seminar?” Good question. There are some seminars where I have an affiliate or some other agreement, where I get paid for every person who registers. However this is not one of them. The one seminar I feel people need the most, does not pay me or anyone else for that matter, to promote it. I wrote this because I want YOU to go. Why? Because it was incredible. That’s it. Said better, my wife sent me a text to ask me how it was, my response… “There are no words.” Yes, that good.

I hope you will go… all of you. It’s not for everyone. But it is for everyone who want to feel more alive and enjoy higher levels of fulfillment and success in all areas of life.

    Makes me curious. Like Cyndee I just recently heard of Landmark. Coincidence? Maybe not. Thank you for the insight!
