Sam Regained His Ability to Speak by Doodling This Shape
Bart here. I’ve been teaching personal transformation for over 30 years.
Yet, I still get surprised and moved when someone starts tearing up from the words that come out of my mouth or the changes that occur from a simple suggestion I made months ago. I rarely write about the psychology of handwriting much anymore. I spent two decades putting everything I knew inside courses and books. But, once in a while… I get reminded of what a useful tool it is, and most people are no longer aware that there are benefits even for the young people who don’t write cursive.
Is Riding a Bike like learning to write with a pen?
EntrepreThink about when you first learned to ride a bike. Remember wobbling all over the place? It seemed impossible at first, right? But then, something clicks. Maybe it’s that little adjustment in your balance, that slightly firmer grip on the handlebars. And BAM! You’re cruising.
You might even have had training wheels at first but begged your dad to remove them because you were ready to go cruising on your own.
It’s the same with our thinking habits. Sometimes, it’s not about making massive, sweeping instantaneous changes. It’s those small, consistent tweaks that rewire things in the background.
Like planting a tiny seed – you don’t see the giant tree right away, but with a little consistent care, it grows strong and tall. Your personal journey with your beliefs, attitudes, habits, and even wealthy mindset are like plants…. Give it some time and nurture yourself.
This week, I’m going to share with you a totally “off the wall” “hard to believe” 10-minute-a-day assignment that just might change your thinking in a profound way. Before you dismiss it as “new age hooey,”…. Listen to the words of Sam Botta, who talked about this one little doodle in a recent live seminar. I have linked the entire video here so you know I’m not making this stuff up.
In a nutshell… Sam was in a head-on collision some years back. He was lucky to survive, but his brain was damaged to the point that he could not remember how to talk or write. What’s worse, his career was making movie and TV trailers… so his career ended in a split second.
The good news is that as of today, you will be hearing Sam’s voice again on your favorite audiobook and TV show preview. He attributes a piece of advice about his handwriting that turned things around. He took a crayon and started making this shape with his hand on pieces of paper. He was slow at first, but after a few weeks, he could make the figure 8. The rest is history.
I know… that sounds like bull sh!&t. I understand your skepticism. I felt the same way when Dr. Walker told me this stuff 30 years ago. Watch Sam tell the story himself.
SHARE SAMS STORY
- Sam focused on massive repetition of a single stroke for neural pathway regeneration: To create lasting habit changes, experts emphasize the importance of massive amounts of repetition of the same stroke.
We believe that trying to change more than one handwriting stroke at a time is NOT effective. The goal is to create new neural pathways until the change becomes a complete habit.
