I have a dream!
[ I cldnt find a direct way of sending you an email of the content below, so i've decided to post this up as a blog entry instead. I hope you'll take the time to read it through. Thks! =) ]
Hi Mr Robbins,
Firstly, thank you! Ever since I came across your work just a couple of months ago, I have transformed my life in ways which I have never thought possible. I believe you hear this plenty of times, so basically I went through the same as many others whom you have touched through your passionate work!
At 24 years old, it messed me up real badly when things at work and home started to go out of control. In fact, things at work started to go downhill when I was 23. So for a period of about 1year, every day was a mental and emotion rollercoaster. I would practically have to peel myself off the bed in the mornings because I was so reluctant to start the day.
Keeping the long story short, with a combination of fate and opportunity, I got the chance to attend ‘Unleash the Power Within’ seminar in September this year when you came to Singapore. Honestly, from the bottom of my heart, I truly felt that the opportunity to be one of the thousands that weekend was definitely a gift from God.
So since then, I have been not only applying the knowledge that was gained from the seminar, but I have been actively reading up and listening to other topics of your work. I can’t illustrate the amount of gratitude, happiness, fulfillment and peace this newly gained knowledge has brought to me.
During that weekend, something however came to my notice. I realized that the people around me were mostly in their 30s and above. There were not many people in their 20s. Does that indicate that they are exactly where they want to be in life and feel that there’s nothing they can benefit from attending such an enlightening event? Ignorant maybe? I strongly doubt so.
I felt that many would have wished to go. Ever since that weekend, I have been radiating so much joy and energy that people do see the difference and they ask me about it. Furthermore, through my course of work, I have come across soooo many teens and young adults who are suffering with their daily responsibilities. Many times I catch myself giving them quotes or snippets of what you have said or things I have learnt through your audio tapes and visuals. Hahah.. Don’t worry, I’m sure I did a pretty good job and did not spoil your name! =p Words cannot describe the joy and satisfaction I get from seeing the happiness they feel when they learn how to gain control over their emotions.
So the question, why weren’t there many present at the seminar then? I believe there are 2 main reasons. The first of which is Cost. Not many within that age group would even have anything close to the amount needed to pay for that weekend. Even if they did, the thought to part with the cash would create questions like ‘Is this seminar really worth it?’
That leads me to the second reason. Your name, Anthony Robbins, is such a well-respected one in most parts of the world! ‘Results Guaranteed’ can even be your middle name! However in Asia, I feel that we don’t really ‘get’ much of you. Luckily since America has influence over most of the world, I’m glad you are such a hit in your home country because that actually helped bring your name worldwide. Just not really that enough here in Asia though.
What I am actually trying to say is that I believe it would create a significant impact if people got to learn about how to handle their emotions, their body, their relationships and their finances starting from a young age. Wouldn’t you agree that this would actually help to avoid more pain at a later age? It’s proven that people tend learn faster and are more willing to correct themselves when we’re younger anyway. Plus, who wouldn’t appreciate a longer period in life to enjoy the feeling of being fulfilled?!? Even I wished that I came across your work when I was younger! Perhaps then I’ll be running 5 businesses instead of just 2! =p
So here’s a little proposal or initiative I would like to put forward. Hopefully you will see my purpose behind this action. I know it’s mighty ambitious of me to even try to bring this up, overly optimistic even, but despite that, here is what I would like to propose.
I know that there’s already A LOT on your plate of achievement at this point of time. I am also aware that it would be ridiculous to suggest that you spend a longer period of your time in Asia in the coming year so that we get to experience your ‘magic’. But what I really hope is for your work to be heard by more people in Asia especially the young. I feel sooo passionately about what you share because unlike many others, yours is genuine. It comes from the heart. People actually go home feeling and knowing that they can do something to get more out of their lives. That life is not just something that happens to them but that they actually get to CREATE their life to make it how/what THEY want it to be! In your own words, a life of fulfillment is life on our terms.
I want to be able to bring that knowledge to more people in Asia especially the youths because more of what I see today is people going around submitting to the demands of everyone else and end up feeling like crap! They know that this is not the life that they want, but they do not know of the way to get out.
What I am hoping you would be opened to discussion would be a partnership. Just for notes, I am typing this as an individual and not a company. I am SO keen to get more of YOUR work out there. I do not ask for the credit or am not seeking personal financial gain. I just feel very strongly about your research and would want it to reach out to the community.
Being very much a people-person, I do want to give back to this community by reaching out to people and urge them to dig deeper within themselves. I have the public speaking skills and with the information derived from your research, I am certain that with your support, this would create a major impact on more people.
I am not trying to replicate your 50hour weekend or the superman stuff that you are currently doing and do them here in Asia! Hahha.. Those are waaay impressive! But I do hope that you will train me to be able to give short talks to people so that they become aware of your work. With the support of you and your team, my role here in Asia would be to open minds to such knowledge. Let them know of this great man, you, who has created all these fantastic tools to help create the life that they always wanted. This will help create the momentum from which they will then get and follow up with your work through the various means that technology has blessed us with today.
Once again I emphasize that I am coming across here as an individual and not part of some organization. I am just a 24 year old female from Singapore who is madly passionate about your work and would want more people to hear about it. I believe I am the person for the job because I am young and that would give me the edge on time and energy to spread the love and knowledge. Being Asian, I would bring Tony Robbins to this part of the world, Asian style. I speak the language and am living the same lifestyle as most average Asians do. So in some ways, that’s common ground that people will connect with. And know that if I, at such an age managed to make a change in MY life, they must too!
I sincerely hope that you will take time to see if this is something that we can do collaboration on. I have all these ideas which I’m dying to share to emphasize how this can totally work out.
Looking forward (anxiously) to your favorable reply! Will see you life in person next year at Date with Destiny in Bali. Hoping to hear from you before then! Have a fantastic end to 2009!
Best Regards,
Joyz Jaafar
