Hi, BenArion here...
Thanks for being patient with this story. It was so long I had to break it into 3 parts!
To recap:
Sam was a chronically overweight friend of mine who got jealous of the physical health benefits I achieved when I started to incorporate meditation into my life. Sam decided he wanted to meditate, but eventually quit because he wouldn’t accept any help.
He was too afraid of relying on other people, because he thought it would make him look foolish. He was leading a life that could only end in one way… and one day he disappeared from my life completely, and I thought he had died.
He ALMOST died, as I’m sure you could tell by the title of this story.
One day, while going through a particularly stressful time at work… Sam had a massive heart attack and collapsed at his desk.
If he had been in his home, gaming with his friends like he did every night, a mere dozen or so feet from me and yet separated by a wall that kept me barricaded away from his suffering… he would have been gone forever.
But Sam didn’t die. He turned his whole life around. He found an incredible woman who healed his broken heart (literally AND figuratively), became an artist like he’d always dreamed of, and completely transformed his physique by losing over 150 lbs…
I wouldn’t learn about what happened until almost a year later… He reached out to me via an old email that I barely used anymore, and sent me –– of all things –– an APOLOGY.
Here’s an excerpt:
“I just wanted to say that I’m sorry for not accepting the help you offered. Not because if I would have listened to you, I might have avoided that incident… but because you were the only one who was reaching out to me. And I made you feel like you shouldn’t. In a way, I’m glad it happened. Without having that heart attack and almost dying, I’m not sure I ever really could have accepted reality.”
I’m not ashamed to say that I cried when I read that email. Sam had just disappeared. I had no earthly idea what happened.
But to learn about his secret pain, and his heart attack, and the way he overcame it… all at once… it was a lot to take in.
And I definitely didn’t feel like I deserved an apology. I kept wondering if there was something more I could have done.
I kept thinking, if only there was a way for someone to pick up meditation effortlessly, and have it work for them without feeling like it’s work.
If only there was a way to prevent the painful trial and error, to get started and see results immediately but still teach the important lessons that are needed along the way. If only there was a way to make the practice of meditation completely and utterly foolproof in every single way…
…maybe I could have helped instead of giving up like everyone else.
Even today, I’m still obsessed with this idea. I’m always trying to figure out how to perfect that system and get it in front of as many people as possible.
And every year I get closer and closer.
You know from personal experience how incredibly hard it is to make a lasting habit out of meditation.
But now, I’ve created something that I believe can do exactly that.
I call it ZenLife Meditation Mastery, and I have spent almost an entire year refining it in order to make it capable of helping anyone and everyone, no matter who they are, or where they are in their journey.
And I’m making it available tomorrow Friday, March 1st.
I’ll be sending you all the details then, so keep an eye out for that.
Because even though this is the end of Sam’s story… it could be the beginning of yours.
I PROMISE YOU THIS...
You WILL have every resource you need to pick up the habit of meditation and FINALLY STICK with it.
You WILL have every resource you need to make PERMANENT, LASTING, POSITIVE changes in your life.
You WILL have every resource you need to TRANSFORM your limiting beliefs into powerful tools that EMPOWER YOU.
You WILL have every resource you need to ACHIEVE YOUR HIGHEST PURPOSE and live the LIFE OF YOUR DREAMS.
Peace!
BenArion
