Eddie

I received an email from Eddie today, a Coaching Consultant with the Anthony Robbins Companies. Yap! Anthony Robbins.!! Actually, I think sometime last month i felt so down and frustrated with my life that I decided to look for help/guidance/inspiration. Books have always played that part for me and Anthony Robbins books are so far the best I've ever read. So, that night, feeling too lazy to read, I decided to go to his websites instead. It quite inspiring, somewhat giving me some hope. After about an hour reading and browsing the website, i found a 'Free Coaching Strategy Session'. Since it's free (being typical m'sian), I quickly click on it and it led me to an email composer. So, I wrote " Dear Consultant, I'm sick of my life! Please help" and I've totally forgotten that I've sent that email until today when I received a reply with a phone number to call to setup an appointment. I didn't know what have gotten into me that I straight away picked up my phone and called Eddie (who's in San Diego). I was expecting a 'robot' or interactive answering device to answer my call, only to find out that it was a handsome 'real' man (from his voice, i mean). He sounded very friendly and jovial. We chatted for a while and made an appointment to start the coaching session but I've to tell him what I wanna first. My quick response was, I can't even decide what I wanna eat, how can I decide what I want in life..and this had led us to a length conversation which was supposed to happen tomorrow. He asked me what I wanna eat for breakfast tomorrow and I said I don't know ( my standard answer besides 'anything'.. ever since I am able to talk). He told me to get a rubber band immediately, put it around my wrist, pull and release it. Oouttchh! It hurts. So he said, everytime I said I don't know, I've to do that. A punishment for not deciding what I want. Gosh! That's painful! A few minutes later, again, he asked me what I wanna eat the whole day tomorrow. Quickly I responded, " Cereal, bowl of fresh fruits and juice for breakfast, turkey ham sandwich for lunch and soup for dinner".. Man! That was the first time, I've actually decided what to eat.. major decision made! I feel good and I like it! So for those of you out there, start deciding what you want now!
