Before I started the Be Extraordinary program, my life was on an autopilot. I believed success came only from working hard, getting degrees, and following the traditional path. It’s not like I was unhappy, but it turns out that I was blindly what Vishen calls “Brules" which were holding me back. Later on, my autopilot was disrupted when a friend in high school who I crushed on broke my heart without saying a word. It hurt, but I didn’t realize back then that the pain had the potential to lead me somewhere better.
So, I started pursuing personal growth, accidentally discovering Mindvalley after I walked in on my aunt meditating. My Be Extraordinary journey first started as a means to an end - I wanted to grow for one purpose - to get her to love me. However, when Vishen introduced the concepts of Kensho and Satori moments, I had an intuitive impulse to pursue personal growth not for my crush's sake, but for its own sake - growing myself. I recognized my crush's rejection as a Kensho moment - growth via pain. As a result of this, my "Happiness in the Now" gradually started to grow along with my "Vision for the Future" as I repaired my self love, and out of nowhere my self love skyrocketed when I tried Vishen's Merging Technique.
I'm no guru. I don't have everything figured out yet. But thank you Vishen Lakhiani and Mindvalley for waking me up and literally altering the course of my life for the better.
