Yesterday, I made my way to Jalan Tandang, PJ for the Money Mastery Toastmasters meeting.
I received a 3-minute slot to promote my two books on public speaking. Additionally, I was invited to deliver an Invocation for their meeting which had the theme "Peaceful Hearts".
The way I see it, it relates to mindfulness. Being mindful can lead us to be at peace with ourselves. That's because we focus on the present moment.
I had said that even in a Toastmasters meeting, we can also have mindfulness. We remain calm and at ease, we display the quietude of confidence and importantly, we are present. I gave the assurance that we can present our speeches well and without any anxiety or apprehension. Public speaking is more than articulating thoughts, expressing ideas and verbalizing content eloquently. It's about being authentic. And a peaceful heart helps us to be true, genuine and real.
This time around, I only managed to sell one TPOYS. It's alright. One book sold is still one book sale. [To be fair, the last time I went to this club, i.e., March 25, 2025, I sold 2 TDIYS and 2 TPOYS].
