Turning Challenge into Triumph

Author: HealthyWealthynWise Total views: 6 Word Count: 482

As someone whose English teacher considered her one of the worst writers in the world, you may be surprised to know that Lisa Nichols has two book deals going with the super-successful "Chicken Soup for the Soul" series. She was also featured in Rhonda Byrne's "The Secret". Lisa's true passion lies in speaking and in the company she founded, Motivating the Teen Spirit LLC.

Motivating the Teen Spirit is changing lives for teens and their parents everywhere. Over 60,000 teen lives have been touched in some way. More than 1,800 suicides have been prevented, nearly 1,000 dropouts have returned to school, and countless teens have been reunited with their parents.

Helping people is a passion that Lisa Nichols has had since she was a teen herself. She recalls many prayers to God during her youth asking for guidance through tough times. If God would show her how to get through, she promised to show others as well. Lisa was normal on the outside - a typical social butterfly - but she was looking for emotional literacy on the inside as many teens do today.

There is no "magic fairy dust" that turns us into the greatest of society. There's no, "Poof! You're successful." Lisa believes she is a product of a lifetime of learning. Opportunities come and go. Lessons to be learned rise and fall. Each challenge in life must be seen as an opportunity to grow and thrive, not fail.

Lisa today was similar to Moses in the Bible. She believed God was calling her to be a public speaker, but how could she speak? She got a "D" in her speech class. She dwelled on the "I can't" attitude for five years before finally giving into her passion. She had always wanted to speak, and now she believed God was guiding her closer to that direction.

Everyone struggles with passion at some point. It may not be a passion for speaking, but it's a struggle just the same. Part of Lisa's fear stemmed from her security. She already had a great job. She had benefits and a six-figure income with which to care for her young daughter. Why give that up for an uncertain future?

We just face our fears. Don't let the seemingly secure life keep you from reaching your real goals. Are you happy with your life? Are you TRULY happy with your life? Is there anything you could change or make better? If so, you're not truly happy, and you need to face whatever fear is holding you back.

Lisa decided to overcome her fears by studying speech, facilitation, and entrepreneurship. Before her confidence and credibility would allow her to start charging a fee, she worked with teens for free. She's happier than she ever thought possible, and her fears of speaking and security are gone. Get out there and face your fears, too. You'll be happy you did!
