Taxi To Wellness


A cou­ple of weeks ago, I made a video titled “Don’t Judge a Book by its Cover” in which I talked about the fact that peo­ple that might be able to help you to well­ness may not have a lot of ini­tials behind their name.

They might not have degrees.  They might not have for­mal train­ing.  They might not have cre­den­tials, or at least not tra­di­tional cre­den­tials, but they might be able to be peo­ple that would still be quite an aid to you and really be able to help you in your well­ness jour­ney.

I have a story about that today illus­trat­ing that. A cou­ple of weeks ago I went to Dal­las for a con­fer­ence.   I got into a taxi­cab out of DFW and started speak­ing to the cab dri­ver.

He asked me what line of work I was in, and I told him “I’m a well­ness evan­ge­list” and that I was try­ing to help peo­ple to phys­i­cal, emo­tional and spir­i­tual health. He told me, “I’m doing the same thing.”  And I said, “You are? Tell me about that.”

Then he told me how he had been a very angry per­son, always had a chip on his shoul­der ready to fly into a rage, very reac­tive, never happy. Nat­u­rally it caused a lot of prob­lems in his life and grad­u­ally he real­ized he had to be dif­fer­ent.

He didn’t know what to do. He decided to study and learn and that he would fig­ure out how he was going to be a more calm and emo­tion­ally cen­tered per­son. And he did!  I’m not going to tell you his story here, he told it to me, but then he told me that he made a DVD and he gave me a copy.

This is his DVD. His name is Kamal Ahuja, and his DVD is enti­tled “I Refuse to be Unhappy! How About You?” So I gave him a copy of my book, he gave me a copy of the DVD and I’ve watched it. I like what he has to say. He’s a smart man. He’s got wis­dom. Can he teach you some­thing? Maybe.

I don’t know if you’re an angry per­son and you might be inter­ested in what he has to say. I’ll put his email address at the end of this video and if you want to get a copy of his DVD go ahead and email him.

But I like what he has to say. I think he can help peo­ple. I think it will help peo­ple. And it just goes to show you that, emo­tional well­ness, spir­i­tual well­ness, phys­i­cal well­ness don’t have to come from psy­chol­o­gists, min­is­ters and doc­tors.

They can come from the peo­ple around you, peo­ple that have learned things, peo­ple that have wis­dom to pass on to you. And Kamal Ahuja is one.

So I want to thank you, Kamal, for your DVD, and I want to thank you for the work that you’re doing to help peo­ple be emo­tion­ally and spir­i­tu­ally and phys­i­cally well, and I wish you all the suc­cess in the world.
