Like a Virgin in Vegas

First off, something tells me a virgin wouldn't last too long in Sin City!

HAPPY 2010!!!  How are your New Years resolutions coming along? Having challenges sticking with them? If so, make sure to visit my website regularly as I will be posting some exciting updates soon.  And for those who resolved not to make any resolutions, heed these words: "The only constant in life is change".  If you are not deciding your future, who is?

OK, time to get to today's blog...

Me and a good friend returned from Vegas not so long ago where we attended a Business Mastery seminar hosted by the one and only Tony Robbins (you the man Tony... you the man).  It was his first time and I had been there once before about 3 years ago (also on business).

As the plane commenced its final decent into Vegas, my friend was bubbling with anticipation.  I on the other hand was relatively calm... after all, I had been there before.

Arriving at our hotel (the Venetian!), he was blown away by the lobby; the sheer size and detail! I on the other hand was expecting this... after all, I stayed at Caesar's Palace last time.

Walking down the strip, he had his camera ready and was quick to point out... well... pretty much everything.  I looked at him in amusement and took in the sights... after all, I had seen this before.

Day 1 of the event, I thought he might wet his pants as the crowd worked itself into a frenzy waiting for Tony Robbins to hit the stage. OK, I was excited too, but he had that extra special anticipation.

Going for lunch, he commented on all the different (especially high end) stores, the size of the hotel, and all the attractions along the way to the food court. I was focused on getting some food in my stomach... after all, this wasn't new to me.

Pretty much the entire trip, his level of excitement over the smallest things way surpassed mine.  It appeared he was having WAY more fun than I was. Makes sense... after all, I had been to Vegas once before.

So???  I had been to Vegas ONCE before and even then barely got to see it! It's not like I am an expert on the place and even if I was... SO????

How does having seen or experienced something take away from the awesomeness of the event? IT DOESN'T!

How would your experience of life be different if you were doing so as if it was the first time...
your first time waking up beside your lover...
your first time having sex...
your first time putting on comfy socks...
your first time eating your favourite breakfast...
your first experience in a car (but please drive like you know what you are doing! ha ha)...
your first time outside...
your first time breathing in a full breathe...
your first time telling somebody you love them...
your first sunset...

What would you notice differently? 
What is in your life now you would have killed to have in your life only years or maybe only even months ago?
WHO is in your life your life?
What amazing areas of your life have you become desensitized to that you simply need to reconnect with and re-appreciate?

I challenge you all to experience a day with virgin eyes, virgin ears, a virgin nose, a virgin mouth, virgin hands, a virgin body......... a virgin heart.

If Madonna can sing about being touched like a virgin, we can certainly relive it at least once!

Your friend and Coach,
Bryce
