TV reality show Kazakhstan

We become who we surround ourselves with!

Aloha , HUG4LOVER!

Believe it or not, but I’m now part of a love reality show in Almaty Kazakhstan and it is a wild experience. I have only been on live TV 2 days and saw my ‘‘date’’ only once. but its really interesting to compare the cultural differences between Canada and Kazakhstan.

This week hug stories at HUG4LOVE

I had the chance to go give hug with Aglan, he is an entrepreneur here in Almaty and he is the one who showed me this TV Show that I could potentially participate. I am now dating this girl from Kazakhstan and we shall see how it goes. We also plan to go give hugs to stranger ! I’m looking forward to see how she likes it.

Now, I’m stopped in the streets by strangers in order to take a picture with them. For real, it happens many times per day. Someone told me there is more than 10 million people watching this TV show in 5 countries.

That bring me to an interesting lessons: Take the risk. 😁

I wasn’t sure if I was ready to be on TV in front of so many people, but what if I really find love ?

I believe that on the other side of fear and risk, there are lots of beautiful opportunity to learn and to grow. We just need to step out of our comfort zone.

We need to be comfortable being uncomfortable, because this is very growth happen.

Self-development :

The people that spend time with anybody become nobody and the one that carefully selected who they spend time with become somebody. It is wild how much our circle of influence affect the way we think, therefore the way we behave. 😁

The best way I found to get a new valuable habit, therefore becoming a better version of ourselves is to associate with a group of people that already cultivate that habit.

If you want to adopt the habit of daily sport, join a sport group

If you want to be financially rich, join a group of rich people

If you want to find the love of your life, join a group of married people, they will help you to find the right one.

If you want to be happy, join a group of happy, grateful, positive people, your life will be easier, therefore happier.

We are animal that want to fit in a group. It’s a survival mechanism. And when we find a group, we don’t want to be left alone, so to be accepted in that group, we must behave in a certain way.

If we join a group of cigarette smoker, there are good chances, we start smoking.

If we join a group of skaters, there are good chances we start skateboard.

If we join a group of celebrities, there a good chances we become famous.

My friend, the first step is to find your group. The second step is to become valuable to them. Ask yourself, how can I help, how can I be accepted, how can I bring something to the table?

For some group it could be your knowledge, for others if could be your positive energy or some it could be your time, some it could be your generosity, some your network, some your skills, some your interest, some your material possession, some your net worth, some your attitude, some your beauty and many other more valuable things. 😁

The third step is to contact this group of people and start your message by the value you can provide them. If it doesn’t work, try to approach 10 other groups and at one point it will work.

That’s all for this week :

I invite you to take more risk my friend. You never know what surprises or opportunity could be hidden underneath. 😁
