Missing Out

By Tony Miltenberger, Director of Leadership and Outreach for Life Success Seminars

If you haven’t guessed, I work in the field of personal growth.

The whole purpose of what we do at Life Success is to empower people to find what they love most in the world--and help them to go after it. We help people reach their dreams and strengthen and renew relationships that have become distant.

What we do in our monthly Basic seminar is magical. Every month, the seminar starts out the same: 40-60 strangers who are thinking to themselves, “What did I just get myself into?” Every month, the seminar ends the same: 40-60 people have transformed!

I could try to explain what happens in the Basic seminar, but I wouldn’t do it justice. To be honest, I don’t really know why the process works, but it does and it has been for 25 years. Besides, experiencing it is way better than reading about it!

I first participated in the Basic seminar in October 2007, and I often think about my experience and how it changed me. Since then, I’ve volunteered to help in Basic many times. Each seminar I’ve been part of is different; each one has a unique flavor or special way the group unites.

One thing remains the same--when I’m not part of the seminar each month, I miss it. When I’m away from what I want in my life, I give up a little part of myself. Don’t get me wrong: I don’t think it’s practical to be at our seminars every month. But staying tied to the essence of the seminar is the key to my dreams for both me and my family.

This month, I will be away from our Basic seminar and, like every time I’m away, I’ll be missing out. The good news is that next month we will have another, and then the month after that another… So I will have the opportunity to stay tied in as much as I want.

The question I leave you with is simple: What are you missing out on?
