Breaking arrows – smashing obstacles
I live such a fortunate life – for so many reasons. (Not least because I managed to get back from South Africa – and the volcano to attend this event!). On Saturday Bob and I attended an amazing event with Dr Rohan Weersinghe which both raised our game and raise money for Make-A- Wish Foundation. Over 13 hours we considered our values, beliefs, the rules we make to aid or hinder our success, how we support our minds through our bodies, the power of relationships (with our selves, our partners and others) and then climaxed with ….
the power of winning. David Onuma (World Champion and Solicitor) and Corey Donoghue (Gold Medalist and Entrepreneur) shared with us what it has taken them to get to the top of their game and stay there. That could be said for all of the speakers Rob Slinger with his approach to Raw food and running endurance, Miranda Leslau overcoming adversity with determination and single mindedness, Rohan of course overcoming his father’s death and then David and Corey – driving their minds and bodies to work in harmony for one goal and one goal alone.
The message was powerful – how can I bring my mind and body into closer harmony, how can I created the right support around me to ensure that I reach my goals easily. I have every belief that I will reach my goals (and I do regularly – in 2009 I achieved 78% in nine months). What I would like to do now is acheive them easily
My first big challenge is to support myself! A message I get regularly, at Chris Howard Events, in coaching sessions, and sepcial days like this
After a long day Rohan challenged us all to breakthrough those challenges that were holding us back – the whole group was fired up and eager to take the challenge….. then he vrought out the arrows and the disclaimer notices !!! OMG he wanted us to break an arrow with our throats as a symbol that we could achieve anything and nothing could stand in our ways. We were going to step forward and break through our obstacles.
I have to say very little scares me, and I don’t often feel fear (I mostly choose to feel excited when presented with a challenge), this time I was really anxious, scared and afraid. Even after the demonstration and my own daughter stepping up to the challenge I was not sure I could do it. It was not just the arrow I had to break …. but I had to break the words – the obstacle that I had written on the arrow to. It was more than a symbol, more than a metaphor – this was a commitment and a belief!
I feel emotional as I write this, only now instead of afraid – I feel grateful, focused, committed and determined. Thank you Rohan, Rob, Miranda, David and Corey for an amazing event. My commitment to myself is to recognise my achievements, to celebrate them, to know that I have already achieved a lot of my goals and therefore my new goals will come easily as I am focused and committed to acheiving them – rock on the next seven months – woo hoo
To our mutual success, wealth and happiness

Wow Rob – thanks so much for your kind words, you are right – some people do see me as strong or fearless – and I know that I can be. That said I do have to work hard at it some days, I occassionally face challenges BUT (:)) because I recognise them as obstacles to my goals I know that I will get round, through, under or over them. This is made so much easier with the support of great friends and like minded people – thank you

Hi Vicki
I was so proud of you when you did the arrow break. Having known you now for over a year I always saw you as a fearless woman (You swim with sharks for goodness sakes) but it was reassuring to see that even you are vulnerable and have challenges to overcome.
We all understood the fear and anguish you had and it was so good to see how despite all that you stepped forward and broke that arrow on your throat. The relief on your face and the tears we all shared. It’s always great to see someone have a breakthrough and grow as a result.
I know you’re committed to grow as I’ve seen it as long as I’ve known you and you’re an inspiration.
Love Rob xxxxx
