"I can guarantee you that it will shift your perspective completely"

Dear Mindvalley community, world – where do I start... Let’s start in Thailand, Bangkok, 31 December 2019. A few minutes before midnight on the rooftop of my hotel, I paused, looked around and realized that I am currently in one of the most exciting cities where you can possibly be to celebrate NYE. I could feel that 2020 is going to be my year. Although I could not complaint and my life has been overall blessed (I was lucky enough to always be surrounded by a strong family support system and friends; was overall healthy; my work allowed me to travel from time to time with a peak in 2019) - the last five years have also been very exhaustive physically, mentally and emotionally for me – working as an "underpaid" (wrongly classified) consultant does not give you a lot of work-life balance or at least I always was of the belief that I need and want to push myself to the limits which has led to self-doubts, the (not steady, but subconscious) belief that I am not enough, anxiety and almost lead to serious health issues at the end of last year. I knew I have to change – I have known this for a long time and tried to find ways and techniques how to structure my life, how to be in control and how to lift me up, though never went deep enough and allowed life to just happen to me on a daily basis. So while standing at that rooftop back then in December, I told myself that this is the start of a new beginning, a new chapter of my life, a NEW ME - MY YEAR of CHANGE which will set the tone for the rest of my life. I continued traveling to one of the most beautiful and remote islands after two days in Bangkok, started a three days yoga retreat and decided instantly that I will cancel all my future plans and will continue to listen deeper into myself - explore further my feelings, my goals, my wishes for the future. 

While I haven’t managed (did not consciously care about myself) to read books over the last years due to university obligations or work, I finally started reading again – the book that I read back then mystically lead me to Vishen’s book “The Code of the Extraordinary Mind”. As soon as I started, things changed – my horizon, belief system and perspectives on so many areas of my life shifted. Having experienced these great new insights – I decided to search for additional sources and so I ended up on Mindvalley - it was then out of question that I have to conduct the “Be Extraordinary Quest” and it has been the wisest decision I have ever made. Here is why: Since then, every day has been filled with joy and bliss – listening to all these amazing insights in the morning lifted me up every single day, allowed me to be much more conscious throughout the day (about my actions and interactions with myself, others and the nature the universe) and allowed me to start seeing the world from a complete different angle – a much more beautiful and grateful angle with so much hope and belief that every single goal (once set) can be achieved if you are kind to you and to others, ensure to grow on a daily basis, invest in yourself and truly trust your intuition. I have had so many incredible experiences since I started the quest that it is difficult to summarize them, but here are a few highlights: - I experienced quite a lot of “BLISS” moments Vishen talks about (during which I felt absolutely connected with myself and the world) which showed itself in various physical reactions of my body (e.g. during running, in interactions with others) – it is pure joy and energy. - I finally learned to fully trust my INTUITION, define my goals and expectations and to take ACTIONS towards my them e.g. to change my career and to move to the States and I feel how the universe corresponds and guides me into the direction almost on a daily basis (so many "coincidences" happened since then! And every time it just raises my happiness stage and hence my day profoundly. - I am practicing “BENDING REALITY” on a daily basis – which has also become one of my daily activities and are my personal moments of joy and happiness – which elevate and strengthen my awareness that EVERYTHING IS IN YOUR CONTROL. It’s about how you see and interact with the world and beyond. - I found my PURPOSE during this program and can’t thank Vishen and the entire Mindvalley team enough; while I still need to figure out where this exactly will lead me to, I know what the overall goal in my life (next to working on myself on a daily basis) is and how I want to CONTRIBUTE. - I finally FELT IN LOVE with the person that I am (I take care of myself and of others) and at the same time with the person I will become. 

The reason why I recommend “BE EXTRAORDINARY” is because it will change your life. If you are ready for change, if you want to become extraordinary, to live your life more consciously, more beautifully, and with full trust in yourself, please don’t hesitate a minute to take the quest. I can guarantee you that it will shift your perspective completely. Thank you Vishen and the entire Mindvalley Team for the great work you are doing – Mindvalley will stay my companion for the rest of my life and I can't wait to continue my journey!
