Nlp: a journey that teaches life

Having very little idea on what nlp is but just knowing that I want a change in career, a career that would give me self satisfaction and at the same time bring about smile and happiness not just in me but the people around me, I entered the class. Being the youngest in the room sitting next to managers and business men hardly did I have hopes of having good learning time inside the class. My brain was playing hide and seek with my heart. Heart wanting to indulge in this new journey and brain wanting to run out and get back to comfort zone. Indeed in a matter of five minutes my heart won, when the moment I involuntary got up and gave feedback after tulsi's speech and my answers were not judged as right or wrong  like in other classsrooms. Instead my answers and feedbacks were welcomed. I knew there was full of positive energy inside the room which had the power to throw away the negativity in us and feel the importance of every little thing around us. "let go" the first expirement we did, I was wondering why would i have to share my drawbacks with people I have hardly known but in end of the session I realised I wasn't sharing my fears with the person sitting in front of me, I was sharing my darkest fears within myself, I spoke to my heart on my darkest fears which I generally avoid doing. The moment I shared my darkest secrets with my heart I cried, I cried felt lighter like as though some magic happened and the fear that I was carrying all these years like burden flew out of my body. From that instance I have started giving a new meaning to my life and most of all started appreciating what I have as a gift. Every exercise I did was so intense and the more I kept talking about what I want out of my life the more closer I was drawn towards my goals. The best of all, I did not have anyone around me who would laugh about my dreams like the outside world did, which helped me talk about my dreams freely like a free bird chirping it's song without the fear of being laughed and ridiculed at.
Modelling

'modelling' other people, putting ourselves in others shoes is something we hardly do, we critisise others on their life, but if we learn to model we will realise that all of us are carrying our own treasure and we will start respecting not only our gift but also what others treasure. Slowly over the course of journey I realised there are no lessons to be learnt for a career change, but there are lessons that have to be learnt to modify the way we live life which in itself will bring change not just in our carrier but in life in its whole.

Every step we take in life is a stepping stone to rebuild ourselves and nlp was not just one stepping stone but a big leap which has helped me enjoy the gifts that God has bestowed on me I have started holding on to these gifts and have become busy collecting the gifts that are on my way and looking forward for the gifts that are yet to come in this journey called life

More thoughts on my learning

The biggest takeaway for me on NLP was think in the Desired state, Can we think only about what we want all the time, yes we do have the pow...
