NLP with Mind Kinesis (1)

I have not been writing on my blog for more than a year despite surged in global market. I think it’s about time I start writing and sharing. But today I am not going to talk about stock market. Instead I like to share with you my encounter with NLP.

Now what the hell is NLP? NLP stands for Neuro-linguistic Programming. In a nutshell, NLP is about altering our thoughts and that of others in order to produce the intended results. This is achieved by using the tools of NLP to alter the way our brain process data/information in order to influence our actions. This is generally known as having a “positive mindset”. It was a model created by Richard Bandler and John Grinder plus a few others. Unfortunately these buggers fell out in the 80s and in 90s, Bandler filed a lawsuit against Grinder. The legal case came to an end 10 years later.

By the way, the above description of NLP is not found in dictionary or wikipedia. It’s my definition based on what I learn from Cayden, founder of Mind Kinesis. Hopefully I got it correct…..hahaha.

How I Got There?

How I got myself enrolled into the NLP programme in the first place? I am sure most of my friends in NLP course make a choice to sign up mainly to overcome obstacles in life. But not for me. I join the course because of one good buddy Bob – he paid up half of the course fee in my name after he attended the free seminar. Actually I had previously attended the seminar but didn’t have the intention to sign up because I don’t think I have any problem in life!!! When I said this in the class, somebody turned to me and said, “wow, no problem, then you got very serious problem!!!”

Knowing Bob for more than 10 years, IMHO, he is not as generous as one might think and certainly not a philanthropist.

“No offence brother if you are reading my blog now!!! Hahaha…….”

But yet for once in his lifetime (or perhaps many more to come), he done something extraordinary for me. He paid half of my course fee and gave me a choice to pay the other half to attend the programme. The root cause of his unprecedented action was because I was at super low mood in May this year. Was it mid-life crisis? Maybe but certainly stressful job is one of the contributing factors.

And there came my first struggle – should I pay half of it? It’s a thousand dollar mind you. Finally I chose to sign up the programme even though I struggled for a while. As to what’s going on deep inside, that’s for you to find out!!!

Whatever it is, I had finally completed the programme and certified. Seriously I never thought that I would finish the whole programme as I had other struggles, which I will share subsequently. All this would not take place without Bob and “thanks brother”!!! I promise you that one day I make my first million, I’ll compensate you back your one thousand dollar course fee.
