watch those late hour (1am - 5am) TV infomercials and you might come across one.
yeah, i know- their workshops probably won't help you if you're a skeptic of them. you need to have an open mind, and WANT to truely change your life, according to them.
yes, i'm a sceptic of them, just like those "Make a million $ w/real estate if you spend $999 to buy my audio tapes and workbooks."
if it sounds too good to be true...
But i recently found out that some of my good friends went through the course. In fact, one of my better friends enrolled his wife and daughter. My friend told me that the daughter was a teenager out of control. rebellious...took a knife and carved up the family car..etc.
that was 4 years ago when she was 17. i've only known my friend for a little over 2 years but i do trust him. when i first met the daughter, i would NEVER have guessed she did those things nor that she had that kind of hostility toward her parents. When i first met them, the parent/daughter relationship seemed like a normal loving family.
he also told me the wife had fears of people judging her. she was the type of person that tried to please everyone and thought of herself as worthless if she didn't have the approval of others around her (friends/co-workers/acquaintances). again, when i first met the wife, she was totally not this type person.
for him, my friend said it advanced his career. at his job back then, he was at the top of his dept and couldnt advance any further. After going through the program, he decided to apply for a higher ranking job in another dept. And he got it.
so i guess for him, it provided him the motivation needed to switch. Now one could say he didn't need to pay all that $$$ for that. anyone could have helped him. but i guess he needed the "think tank" in order for him to believe what his friends already told him.
for him, i'm thinking of it like this:
You're eating food in a high class restaurant. you think it's the best food you've had in a long while. but if you look in the kitchen, all they are doing is reheating microwave dinners. lesson: since you're spending so much $ on it, it must be good.
but for the wife and daughter, I was blown away by the change in these people.
Now I'm still skeptical, but leaning towards being on the fence. yes, i'm thinking about taking the course and am doing research as to whether or not to pull the trigger.

Do you know anyone that has taken Lifespring/Legacy Center who went in skeptical, but came out changed FOR THE BETTER?
