One of my colleague encouraged me to attend a three-day weekend Landmark Forum. I was impressed by the tag line which quoted, “Live Your Life Powerfully and Live a Life You Love”. On receiving upon positive testimonials like “it changes the way you think”; I decided to attend the Introductory course.
I searched in Google for Landmark Education review and my cup was filled with both Positive and negative feedback. Some reviews even said, it was a cult and spam. While few said, it enlightens the lives. Whatever it is I decided to give it a try and get my doubts answered by attending the “Special Introductions to The Landmark Forum”
The session started well by the graduates of Landmark who shared their experience of how they overcome financial problems, failed relationships, mommy issues after attending the Landmark Education training.
Definitely our behavior or attitude which was molded due to the influence of people, society and circumstance cannot be changed in a 3-day program. But they explained with a story.
Assume it’s Friday evening 8.00 P.M and you are about to start from your office. You are in Friday fever and have booked movie tickets at 9.00 P.M with your friends/family. You are passionate to watch the movie from almost a month and were dreaming about this outing/movie from morning.
When you are about to start from office, your Boss/Manager calls you. Definitely thousand thoughts will pop up in your mind. Why does he bugging me when I was about to leave? Will this guy spoil my mood by giving some crap work?
With these bombarding thoughts you step into his cubical. To your surprise, he appreciates you for the work done in the past month and offers you flight ticket to Hawaii. The offer also states that you are take 3 members from your family. Suddenly, you will be excited for the trip more than the movie outing. Even, while you are watching the movie, you will be dreaming about the Hawaii trip.
That’s what the Landmark people do say. The negative influence can be overcome with the positive thoughts.
