Around this time my good friend and investor Rob Rawson informed me that he had some tickets to a Tony Robbins (Date With Destiny) seminar at a discounted rate than usual.. $4,000 instead of $5,000. It was all I had at the time but I was such a big fan of personal development and Tony Robbins that I decided to book my trip to the Gold Coast of Australia where he would be holding his 7 day seminar at the Conrad Hotel.
It was one of the most significant experiences of my life at that time, totally shifting my values and life in ways I did not expect and that still ripple through my existence to this day. I became healthier and happier after the seminar and continue to explore ways to live in the most optimum state.
One thing that I remember is that after the seminars I had this incredible love for so many people that I went through the journey with.. And I came home with such terrific energy in my heart I actually didn’t know what to do with it all. The day after the event when back in Manila, I went to the bookstore and buried myself in books to try to avoid what I was feeling in my chest as I didn’t know how to handle it.. And it seemed to work. More on this heart work later.
