Become Who You Were Born To Be
Brian Souza
Seattle, WA Chamber of Commerce
Canceled
Become Who You Were Born To Be
Brian Souza had a midlife crisis when he was 27. Souza was definitely on the fast track in life, but he questioned whether he was on the right track. He soon realized that the person he was becoming was not the person he wanted to be–so he quit his job, packed his bags with no definite destination, and decided to focus on bringing meaning and purpose back into his life. Upon his return, he interviewed many successful people on what the true secrets to their success were. The one thing he kept hearing again and again: passion.
Central to Souza’s inspiring new approach to achieve success and happiness is acknowledging that each of us was created for a very specific purpose and that true joy and success will continue to elude us until we discover it. Souza’s powerful and practical new book, BECOME WHO YOU WERE BORN TO BE: We All Have a Gift…Have You Discovered Yours? will help you identify, embrace and utilize your passion to achieve all of your personal and professional goals…and more.

Wayne Dyer
Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life - Seattle
2 pm - 5 pm
Sponsored by: Hay House
Washington State Convention Center, Seattle, WA
Learn how to align yourself with the universe and start living a balanced and peaceful life today with the help of Dr. Wayne W. Dyer. Dr. Dyer has spent the last year working on a “manual on the art of living” and he’ll be sharing some of its most valuable lessons during this rare and life-changing lecture. Based on his long hours of research and meditating on the ancient Chinese Book of the Way—the Tao Te Ching—Dr. Dyer has combined his years of empowering wisdom with the natural laws of the Universe to give you a list of universal truths and guidelines to apply to today’s world.
The Tao Te Ching or the Great Way was dictated by a God-realized being named Lao Tzu in ancient China 500 years before the birth of Jesus. This classic text of 81 verses are regarded by many as the ultimate commentary on the nature of our existence. It offers advice and guidance that is balanced, moral, spiritual, and always concerned with working for the good.
During this life-changing workshop, Dr. Dyer will share his interpretation of the Tao Te Ching and show you how to apply it to every day life. This has changed Dr. Dyer’s life and has given him a greater sense of peace. He hopes to offer you the same opportunity for change that it has brought to him.
Remember the great teachings of the Tao. Just Practice and Realize Where You Came From. This is the Essence of All Wisdom.— Dr. Wayne W. Dyer
