My life is so blahhh…
One day I was working from home and my Mother called me on the phone to ask if I was interested in going to a personal growth seminar. I heard that it did wonders for my Aunt so I said “sure”. My life had been so blahh lately. Nothing really seemed exciting, everyday was like the last. I didn’t really feel sad or depressed, I just seemed to have lost my love of life. So I grabbed my notebook and headed to the seminar which I knew nothing about.
It started Thursday at 5:30pm and ended that night around 11:30. Wow, this was some amazing stuff! We did several excercises that opened my eyes on a few things. But examining myself was scary and difficult. I was sweating like mad in there. The seats were so close together and I was supposed to open up to these strangers? Well, that seminar had quite a profound effect on me. It went on Friday night and all Saturday and Sunday. I had some huge breakthroughs. My Mother thought it might get me talking to my Father again who I had disowned for the last month. He’s been an alcoholic most of my life and I had been trying to make him stop drinking. I came to terms with things and afterwards forgave him for anything I was holding against him and actually made up with him immediately on Monday. After the seminar I felt like a kid again, no really, I was so happy I thought I might explode! It was wonderful, to put it mildly.
This event was the beginning of my transformation. Before the seminar I was a cow in a huge herd, blindly following the one in front of me. To most people I had my life together. I was self-employed, had a couple houses and some good investments, had a great girlfriend, etc. But my enthusiasm for life was not really there. I was into my routines and rarely stepped out of my box. Everyday was like the last. But that experience opened my eyes to what used to be and what can be. When I was a child I was 100% honest with myself and others. If I was sad I cried, and I got over it immediately. Now I hold it in and hold it against whoever, forever. This creates resentment which leads to revenge. I don’t like those feelings anymore.
Since then, I went to 3 more seminars and have read several books on the subject of enlightment, happiness, wealth, and spirituality. I changed the crowd I hang around to a purely positive one. I admitted I was an alcoholic and stopped drinking. I learned to love myself which in turn, allowed me to love others and I got married. I’ve started a few more businesses. I’ve done some charity work, etc. And I’ve decided to start this site, The Advanced Soul, in order to further my work on myself, and to help others who are interested in the same. I plan on writing daily to this so stay tuned for more!
