Beckwith, a spiritual leader associated with the ‘New Thought’ philosophy, founded the ‘Agape International Spiritual Center’ in California. According to him, the most threatening people are those who are directionless, living without rhyme or reason. “…So if you’re hanging around with people, they have no goals, no visions. They are not thinking about a beautiful future. They can pull you down. You can get into their frequency and their vibration,” he said. Laila Ali seems to agree with the renowned sage’s words.  

She was twenty-tw0, a reasonably old age by boxing standards when Laila Ali turned professional. Moreover, she had massive expectations of filling her legendary father’s shoes. However, undeterred, Ali persevered, eventually winning her first belt three years later. The rest, as they say, is history. She became a world champion in two divisions, retiring in 2007 with an unbeaten record.
