MIllionaire Mind Intensive

Heard of it before? It's a 3 long days "training" by this bestselling author of a book called "Secrets of a Millionaire Mind", T. Harv Eker.

My hub just loves to go to these kind of seminars. For me, I would have anytime preferred Jowera Chio concerts. Haven't heard of her before? Me neither. That shows how much I dislike whatever mind-opener secrets of the successful minds seminars, except of course, if they would be willing to spill some gossips or affairs for us to bitch about. I don't think so.



Anyway, back to this MMI. I finally relented to see for once, at least, if it's any interesting or stimulating the mind. Hub had taken leave to take care of the kids while I am allowed to "roam free". It was held in MINES exhibition hall at 9am on a Friday, expected to be on for the full day till 11pm. The next day would also be the same while Sunday would be till 8pm.

The whole hall was filled with about 3000 pax. That's quite a good show of people, if you ask me. I arrived a tad 10 mins early before the opening. An angmoh lady in baju kurung came up on stage and told everyone to "STAND UP" and started clapping. Everyone followed suit and with a widest grin on her face, she danced around the stage, boogeying like she had just won the jackpot. I thought, it was pretty weird to be "high" at 9am in the morning, no?

So...The speaker came onboard, after being introduced by the person who brought these kind of seminars here, and being given a very "warm" welcome by the cheers and claps of the whoel audience.

Sadly, the speaker I was expecting to be seeing wasn't him and I believe he's "training" someone else to take over or maybe handle part of these MMI seminars in future. He wasn't particularly lengjai or have any exceptional charisma though. I really do not like the "declarations" that all of us have to stand up to make with hands over the chest, more so, everytime it has to be ended with a hi5 to the person next to you and say in his/her eyes "YOU HAVE A MILLIONAIRE MIND!!!"...Harlo? Shouting it out and that's it meh?

Anyhow, I keep telling myself, "do not be cynical, keep an open mind". OK, so I stayed on... till 6pm and I had to come home. I do not want to be going home alone in the middle of the night. At least, I stayed away from the temptation to sneak off to the cinemas in the afternoon. I really tried, I really did.

The next day, I hate it more when I was left out for the family breakfasts and meal times, and I would be so thinking of the kids. Even though my body is there, my heart and mind were totally not there. Why bother, right? BECAUSE I WANT TO SEE THAT HARV EKER, DAMMIT! By noon time, he was still nowhere to be seen. I am going to make a scene if his face is not up there on the projector screen, I thought.

Sensing my displeasure (I think!), he showed up after lunch. OK ler.. considered quite lengjai geh.. eh, that's not what my mission is, right? So, I hang on listening to his sometimes whisper, sometimes YELLING OUT LOUD LIKE WAKING ME UP FROM SLUMBER talk and decided "that's it! quite enough for me!" I quit at 6pm again and didn't bother to show up the next day.

Anyway, there was really 1 thing I do learned from him. He was saying "take what the universe is giving to you, else the universe is NOT going to give you more", citing an example of a field trip he went on a mission trip. I forgot what the mission is about, but he was saying he was alone, at night, whole night, under a tree. It started to pour and pour heavily it did, but he was saved from being wet as there was a protective layer of canvas over his head. Don't ask me why there would be a canvas there, I admit earlier I wasn't quite listening attentively, didn't I?

So, he thought he was pretty lucky that night. The next morning, he got up early, and went out of his canvas. And right on stepping out, he fell into this pool of water where all of it was "diverted" from the canvas. And blink! He got this idea..if you don't take what the universe is giving you, it goes to wherever, whoever else who WANTS IT! Ada sense tak?

So...for example...

We should be taking compliments happily and say just a THANK YOU when being complimented on. NEVER offer some other compliments back as there's just so insincere and totally veto the meaning of the earlier compliment away.

When your spouse say "I love you", just say "Thank you". Even when your spouse is waiting... "SO?? You don't love me anymore?" "YESSS, but not now! Haha.. We all laughed at his act, it was pretty funny, but it does make sense, no?

And it does feel good that when you really really is sincerely complimenting someone about how nice they look, and they feel happy all over it with just a sincere thanks, it makes the giver of the compliment happy too. Try it!

Yeah.. that's about the only thing I learned from this seminar. He failed or me failed? yala, yala, I failed la.
