The Magic Hundred

Over the last few years, as I've progressed further into my 20s, I find myself reflecting alot more on where I currently am in my life, and whether or not I'm where I want to be. More importantly, I find myself asking whether or not I'm DOING ENOUGH to get to where I want to be.

We've heard everyone tell us how "great" we are, and how we have all this potential, and how "special" we are...yadda yadda. I listen to all that, but I tend to take it with a grain of salt. How can someone I've never met tell me how great I am, and how I'm destined for great things?

So it was with great skepticism that I stumbled on something called "The Magic Hundred". I have to admit, I was actually turned off by the intense enthusiam of Dax Moy as he went over the top saying how different our lives could be in 100 days. Also, when he talked about all the new riches he enjoyed, I naturally thought to myself "yeah yeah, I've heard all this crap before".

However, I realized that his pitch was based on something that we don't see everyday. Often times, people offer self-help based on meditation or eating some weird diet for 30 days to get a KILLER PHYSIQUE. Well that's not what the Magic Hundred is about. Don't let the fairy-tale name fool you: this program is based on the fact that, ultimately, the desire to change is in YOUR hands. You are taking steps day-by-day to reach your goals.

There's a saying I heard about 6 or 7 years ago: "if you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always gotten". If I had to pick one phrase to sum up The Magic Hundred program, that would be it. If you are just dragging through life, with no particular purpose or initiative, then chances are you are going to continue being miserable and discontent.

Also, think about it like this: these next 100 days are going to pass by, whether you are doing anything to reach your goals or not. Is your life guaranteed to change in 100 days? Nothing in life is guaranteed. If you purchase the program, but do absolutely nothing that it suggests, then it's like expecting to drive a car with an empty gas tank. Not happenin.

One hundred days basically the equivalent to 3 and a half months. One positive aspect of this program is that after 8 weeks, if you are dissatisfied with it, or you feel that it simply isn't benefitting your life in any way, you can get a full refund on it. The price for the program is $59.99. But by allowing 8 weeks to decide whether the program is right for you or not, you basically have 2 months to make a decision. That's over halfway through the 100 days.

My advice, if you feel that the price is too steep, is to get together with a friend or family member and show them the website. If both of you feel that your life needs a good solid kick-start back in the right direction, you could both split the cost of it. That's basically 30 bucks a person, for something that you can get a refund on if you don't feel it's doing you any good. Remember, you aren't paying for something that stops benefitting you after 100 days. You are paying for something that guides you towards an entirely different way of approaching many different aspects of your life, for the better.

If your life is absolutely perfect and you excel at everything you do, then this program would likely be a waste of your time. But if you feel that you are "stuck" and could use a little push in the right direction, this program is definitely something you should consider.
