Walking On Fire

Last week I attended the Anthony Robbins seminar in Los Angeles.  One of the activities of the seminar was to overcome the impossible and walk on red hot coals. The experience was unlike any other, and I feel that the symbolism of the act was enormous.  If you can walk on fire what can't you do next!  Let me ask you, and share with you my experience ... 


For nearly three hours the Anthony Robbins Company was burning wood to generate red hot coals.  Later, these newly formed coals would be beneath my feet and I would be celebrating with comrades.  The heat of these coals was compared to a burning hot stove, such as the one that you have burned your finger on once before.  The fear and excitement were intermingled as I approached the burning walk way, but the excitement ultimately overcame the fear, and perhaps the fear fueled the excitement.  I walked across and the message was clear, what fears hold us back from accomplishing the impossible?  We have so much to lose that we focus on the fear of losing it all instead of channeling the fear into excitement and energy to achieve our wildest dreams.


Have you ever walked on fire?  What were your thoughts?
