I decided: I want to become a public speaker!

My greatest fear is also the greatest vision I have for my life. In 2008, I decided: I want to become a public speaker! Among other things, I attended a local group of Swiss Toastmasters for a year and a half. This already gave me a good foundation, the first layer to keep my fear at least somewhat in check. But I felt there must be more. About the impulse to refresh previously learned mental techniques, I came across Mindvalley a few weeks ago "by chance".I already knew it from a very early version, but had missed that it has since grown out of its infancy and has now developed into a great learning platform. I was thrilled! Again by a happy coincidence, I ended up in a Zoom call, moderated by Vishen Lakhiani, the founder of Mindvalley! He challenged us to share our experiences with the platform so far. What on earth was I supposed to share? After all, I had only been registered for a few days.... ! I decided to tell everyone about my vision. What happened next was nothing short of amazing! Vishen suggested I take a certain course: "Speak And inspire" with Lisa Nichols, known from "The Secret", the standard documentary movie on the subject of "Law of Attraction", a film that has never left me since its release ... Suddenly I realized: THESE WERE NO COINCIDENCES! That was me. I had drawn all that happened within a few days, quite consciously into my life! But the story went even further: Vishen took her promise to finish the course.... In return, he would get me a place on the stage. At the big community event in Estonia in 2021! Luckily I was already sitting in my wheelchair, otherwise I would have fallen off my chair! To be continued ...
