On April 23rd, 2011, Rory Vaden, 2-Time World Champion on Public Speaking share somthing that strike home for me. That's the Perspective Principle of Faith, one of the 7 Princples shared in Rory's 2 1/2 hour session.
Here I created a story of my own, which bear the Perspective Principle of Faith.
In Dec 2008, I was unemployed and the economy was at a slump. I visit 12 different Toastmasters Clubs around Bay Area to network, with the view of getting a job. I eventually found Golden Gate Toastmasters Club where I met Ben.
Ben, a close-friend of mine now, is an experienced Salsa dancer. He brought me to Cocomo, a local Salsa dance club. I was hooked and then started learning Salsa.
Through my almost 1 1/2 year of learning Salsa, I did pick up triathlon along the way, where I met Chris. Chris became my best Team In Training mate that we used to hang out after training. After the TNT season is over, we keep in touch and I introduced Chris to Salsa.
That's where I met Olga. Chris asked me to dance with her, so I offered my right hand and asked her to dance. After 2 dances I stayed on the side of the dance floor and Chris says "Ask her for the number!!".
I walked over to Olga and asked her... "Do you wanna hang out some time? What's your number?" I got her number and i left. Fast forward a week later, we were hanging out and that's how I met Olga and we are still together today.
I was entralled by myself with 2 of my hobbies - Toastmasters and Triathlon. Because of Toasmtasters, I met Ben and was introduced to the World of Salsa. If it's not because of Team-In-Training, I wouldn't have met Chris and I wouldn't have ask Olga for her number and I wouldn't have dated her.
I didn't understand why I was so consumed by both of hobbies for 2 1/2 years. Now I understand that everything happen for a reason, and sometimes, God have something install for you. You just have to look and search for it.
Sometimes, it comes right in front of you, but many times, it come along the journey you're taking. Regardless, of where you are in your journey of life, one thing for sure is that the higher power have things better in stall for you.
Bless you!!
Cheers,
Kian
