I came across a really cool programme recently and wanted to share it with all of you.
I was a bit blown away by this programme called “Creating the impossible” –CTI. (Link and coupon is at the end of this article)
Initially when I joined, I was kind of just playing around and see what these bunch of crazy people are doing, but I was totally shocked after the first online meeting…
150 people joined this conference all – from all over the world, some of them are old students from previous years. They all started sharing their crazy ideas:
i.e. I want to be more condifent and happier; I want to make a million dollars in 90 days, I want to lose weight etc etc.
Then the host said:”No no no, people, I want you to move away from the goals, but actually thiking about a project that you want to create, that will make you feel like that’s impossible, that you are crazy, but when you think about it, you will grin, giggle or cry with happy tears. You will feel embarrased to say it out loud, you will feel totally excited when you think about it. I don’t want to hear your financial or self-improvement goals that could be achieved through your hard work and will power, I want to hear something bigger, that you just can’t simply achieve on your own by your hard work or will power in 90 days, I want you to move away from the should energy into the cool energy – start with something like ‘wouldnt it be cool if I can…., that’s the energy we are looking for…”
After that, one lady with silver hair raised her hand and said slowly :”I.. I want to have a dinner with Cyndi Lauper in 90 days.. wouldnt that be cool… ”
Then interestingly, there were people typing in the chat box, THREE people actually said :”Oh, I have her contact, I might be able to link you up!”
Another lady said:”I really want to run a retreat in somewhere I never thought of or have been to.”
Then again the chat box started moving and people replied :”I run a spa centre in xxx, you can come to my place” or “I could co-host a retreat with you in xxx”…
It was just incredible!!! You never know how universe is going to respond to your true will!
So far my “project impossible” is:
Able to fly to Bali/ Thailand (somewhere Southeast Asia) to spend 6 months there, interview 30 people and write down their life stories, then make it a book and publish it.
Why do I wan to work on this project?
Because I hope I can write real l life stories that inspires others, bringing people love and hope, when I was in Bali last year, I met quite a few interesting people shared their life story with me, these stories were just shockingly amazing, and it happens to me all the time when Im travelling. I wish I had more time spent with them, get some more details then I can write them down as a proper story. Their stories moved me a lot, and I wish to spread this type of energy to more people. Also I have had more than 2 people told me that you write good stories, so I guess this is one of the few things I can do well.
Why do I think this is a project impossible?
Well…
– I have never written a book before
– I dont have sufficient fund to support me living overseas to just interview people and write a book yet (this will probably cost me 20k NZD)
– I have no bloody idea about how to publish a book…
– I still have a few F2F coaching clients atm , dont know what shall I do with them if I move overseas suddenly…
But hey, I guess this is the point isnt it!? Something excites me but I have no idea how to bloody achieve it! And I am keen to see what I will learn along the process.
They said it’s not all about getting the impossible project done, it’s about opening up the mindset and see whats actually possible and see our own creativity. We all have a creative and powerful giant in heart and this project helps us to see it.
So far I have attended two sessions and found this programme really interesting hence sharing this with you just in case you are interested. J You can hear the recording of the previous session.
Some basic facts about this programme:
It requires you to get up 5am in the morning if you are in NZ – twice a week, to work on the project that is pretty much impossible to achieve in 90 days . For example:
a) You must believe you have a less than 20% chance for success in the 90 days of the program.
b) You must be so inspired about what it is you want to create that you will be glad of any time you invest in creating it, regardless of how things turn out!
c) The project is better to be something serving others – something bigger than yourself
d) If you have a fiancial project and goal – ask youself why you want that amount of money, and after you get it, then what?!
e) You don’t need to know HOW you are going to achieve it.
The cost is about 400-500 NZ dollars (for 90 days), if you want to join, I can give you a referral coupon (10% off)
They only run once a year, and the deadline for this year is 2 Feb 2020.
