“I simply cannot stop smiling now and enjoy making others smile”

Simply put, CPM changed my life…I understand the weight of my words and stand behind them 100%...prior to CPM I was really unhappy…not “depressed” unhappy, but unhappy in the sense that everything I thought was going to “make” me happy was false. I keep using the story of “look at all this stuff I have” and the accomplishments on my resume and I really thought that all these things would make me happy or give me a sense of worth and well-being. I could not have been more wrong!!

My close friend remarked how much more relaxed, calm and happy I seem from when she initially met me…CPM is the real deal. My only regret is not having taken it earlier in my life…retreat was phenomenal…made so many great connections…I simply cannot stop smiling now and enjoy making others smile…I know that I can do anything I set my sight on…am just so much happier enjoying the process of whatever I am spending time on…a final Thank You to Professor Rao and everyone in the class!
