One thing holding it together

I have just finished spending a week with about 20 other great friends and very talented NLP Trainers assisting co-creator of NLP, Dr Richard Bandler, running his seminar in London.

Seven days previously about 200 people crowded into a room and didn't really realise what they could do, just by altering their mindset and helping each other. This was particularly brought home to me on Saturday when faced with over 40 people wanting to overcome a phobia of spiders.

"Goldie" was a Brazilian Gold Striped Tarantula ( I hope that is right) no more than 14 cms across and really was the most exquisite looking arachnoid I have seen, but the effect of knowing she was in the room next door really freaked out these 40 people.

Demonstrating a number of techniques to the delegates meant that they could help each other to overcome this fear, and whilst most did just that, quite normally there are a small number that need some extra support. I worked with one delegate who was quite adamant that there was no way that she would even be able to look at the spider let alone pick it up, it had been too well developed.

No more than twenty minutes later this delegate not only looked at the spider, but held it for a couple of minutes. Understandably this was a very moving experience for the delegate and for all of us as assistants, particularly when she stated "you just don't realise how important this is."

This one thing now overcome, has now cleared the way for the most incredible set of goals and opportunities, which without doubt will change her life for the better, and I am very honoured to be witness to this change process in action.

So what do you want?
What's stopping you from getting it?
What would happen if you changed one thing that may be holding you back, I wonder?
