Unleash the Power Within With Anthony Robbins

Do You Know What Really Lies Inside You?

Can you imagine stomping across red hot fiery coals burning at 500 degrees with bare feet and not feel a thing? Do you actually think it is possible? I certainly didn’t until I attended Unleash the Power Within in 2002 with Anthony Robbins.

At that time I was working in low paid unsatisfactory jobs and studying without any clear picture of what I was doing or why. I hated my work and in sheer boredom and frustration used to occasionally daydream about running along the hall of the hotel I worked in and pushing the mini-bar trolley out the window into the pool 15 stories below.

I would see the trolley slowly somersault, the doors fly open and mini bottles of booze come tumbling out like confetti. Booze confetti for all the sunbathers around the pool. It was my way of getting through the mind numbing tedium of mini-bar.

A friend new of my feelings and gave me Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins. From the first page I new this was a book I needed to be reading and ironically I was doing so on the bus when we passed a billboard advertising UPW in Sydney. I went straight home and booked the plane tickets and accommodation but did not purchase the seminar ticket straight away, I wanted to talk with my friends about it first.

The reaction was a mixed bag from “What do you want to see that Big American dork for” to “What a waste of money” to “Those things get you all pumped up and then nothing happens” to“If that is what you are into go for it” Thankfully I listened to the last one.

When I arrived at the venue I still hadn’t purchased a ticket and I new that there was a policy whereby after the first day if you didn’t feel it was for you, you could get a refund. I sat around nervously wondering if I really wanted to spend $1200 on what could potentially be a Big American Dork.

Finally I bit the bullet and went through the registration process. When I walked into the room there were dancers on the stage and people dancing in the aisles. My heart sank, then people starting clapping and shouting, my heart sank further. When Anthony Robbins came out people were jumping around and screaming and I thought “oh god these people are nuts”. I rang a friend and left a message saying “What have I done” and then pointed the phone at the speaker blaring out Dancing Queen.

Eight hours later I face planed into my pillow at the Youth Hostel with a smile on my face that had not been there for…. oh just about ever.

I can’t adequately describe the experience of going from being a timid shy person too scared to make a decision on my own to storming across burning coals all in the space of eight hours and that was just the first day.

The next three days did not disappoint. They were transformative and I finally had tools and understanding that would help me to make the changes I needed.

Did that mean that once I left I was perfect? No. Did the energy last? Not at that intensity, but how could it. Imagine the energy created by over 3000 people all focusing themselves in grounded, strong positive intention. The feeling of being there was unbelievable. There was no way that it could have lasted at that level.

So what happened? As soon as I came home I decided where I wanted to live and wrote down a very clear description of it. Two weeks later I was in that house and four years later I am still here. I took steps to make some changes firstly by dropping out of uni. I have always loved massage and so decided to pursue further study in that area. Three years on I have a seated chair massage business which is growing and I have learnt more in the past three years than the previous 10. I attribute this to UPW and the things I learnt there.

Does that mean that everything has been a breeze? No, there have been some very major challenges to overcome, but I know that I am on the path of doing what is meant for me now, I can only say that because of UPW. Ask yourself this question

“Are you living the life that you want to?”

If the answer is no then take yourself on an adventure into the depths of your own mind and heart, find parts that have been lost and create new worlds of possibilities. I hope to see you there.

Remember

“The past doesn’t equal the future if you live in the present”

Yours in Adventure
