Your magic phrase

A phrase that can improve your present state in a heartbeat!

Two years ago, I participated in a seven-day seminar called Breakthrough to Success with my mentor Jack Canfield, in Scottsdale, Arizona of America. Jack Canfield is considered to be the No. 1 coach in America and has sold over 112 million books in 40 languages. There were about 300 people from 48 different countries. The seminar is about obtaining the tools you need in order to take your life to the next level. It was one of the best seminars I have ever attended, and I have attended a lot!
On the third day, I started feeling more comfortable. As a person, in general, I need some time before I begin to share personal information. I could never imagine that 2 years later, many of the participants would become my partners and together, we would create many personal development projects ... then I was committed to my comfort zone!
I am really impressed by Jack. I have never seen a more mature man before, without self-conceit, very authentic and humble. He is so successful -you might have seen him in the movie or the book The Secret- he is a millionaire, he has many celebrities friends, we were clapping and would not let him talk and he was... there, standing meek, to the point, full of kindness. I realize that his behaviour comes from the fact that he is aligned with his authenticity, he has accepted it and has no need to prove something more. I admire him.

We started doing an exercise in pairs. We have to think of a phrase, which helps us feel better and would like to hear it when we need a reward, when things go wrong or when we want help. I thought of the phrase: "Go ahead, keep up the great work!"
Yes, this is it! Half of the participants were standing still, with their eyes closed, and me with the rest of the participants, were ready to whisper our phrase into the ears of those who were standing still.
I approached J, and whisper her my phrase. Her face relaxed. I whisper my sentence to K, he smiles. The more I share my phrase, "Go ahead, keep up the great work!" the more relieved I felt. I observed an incredible calmness, serenity in other people’s faces. The more I was spreading my phrase, the more people were moved, I even saw some of them crying (mostly men??? !!!).

It was my turn to stand still and listen to the others’ phrases. Here we go. No one approaches me! I wanted to shout, hey, over here, Jill is here waiting ... of course I was too embarrassed to do it. Fortunately, the music was nice and relaxing.
Yes, a woman with an Asian accent approaches me: "I love you and I think you're wonderful." Another voice: "I forgive you, go ahead." Another voice, this time it came from a very tall man, "You can achieve anything you want", "Even if I left, I'm still here", "Doing your best is enough", "Take care of yourself, I love you", "Set goals and you will make a difference" and many other phrases.

I gave up trying to hold my tears and the way I was feeling. I just think to myself, how grateful I am to hear all these wonderful phrases.
And just for you: "Go ahead, keep up the great work!".
Be Unique!
