I don't know if you know, but my journey to stalk and meet Tony Robbins has been complete! For those of you who didn't know, the finale of my big journey is documented in the following video: https://youtu.be/5LjErxqIAGk
Now that I am back home, safe and sound in my Gremlin that I live in at the Walmart parking lot, I wanted to take some time to reflect on this crazy adventure! Some may think, 'Cathy Gainer Corporate Trainer, you traveled for miles and sacrificed so much just to get to the same stadium that Tony was in, but you only met his staff that he hired to keep people like you away from him. What did you really gain?'
Great question! I gained a lot. I gained more debt, several travel blisters on various body parts and a few marks on my rap sheet for loitering in a public place. (Once I got to the venue Tony was at, I didn't leave...for weeks. I was hoping he would forget his watch or briefcase and would have to come back for it. He never did.)
The most important thing that I gained, though, was a completed goal. I had told myself that I would someday be near the greatest motivational speaker of all times and I did it. Should I have set my goal higher? Maybe. Should I have planned on at least attending the seminar that I went to? Possibly. Did I take a trip that cost me the rest of my money and dignity? Perhaps. The bigger question really is: Did I promise myself that I would achieve a promise that I made to myself? YES I did!
I also learned something very important about goal setting, every goal doesn't have to be perfect. Goals are like basketball posts, some are high and shiny and have a painted-on square while others are shabby, crooked and have lost their netting...but each is still used to play a game. A game I have never understood. (I just confused myself with that sports analogy.)
My point is, keep trying! Keep dreaming! Find your own hero to stalk and scour the country for. In the end, it is something you can blog about!
Stay Awake Kids.
