Facing Uncertainty Head-On

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 an organization that has dramatically changed the lives of many teens and their parents. At least 60,000 lives have been touched, but more specifically, over 1,800 suicides have been prevented and nearly 1,000 high school dropouts have returned to school. Many teens have been reunited with their parents.

Lisa has had a passion for helping people since her youth. She remembers many prayers to God begging for help and guidance. She promised herself that if God would help her through, she'd later help others as well. Lisa was just like any other teenager, as social as could be, but she needed help with emotional illiteracy.

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.

In Biblical days, Moses was called upon to speak, but he was so scared that he tried to get his brother Aaron to step in for him. Lisa was similar in her earlier days. She always wanted to be a speaker, but she was afraid. "How can I speak," she thought. "I got a 'D' in speech class." Lisa dwelled on her can't-do attitude for five long years before finally following the path she believed God wanted her to follow.

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?

You have to face your fears without letting your security get in the way. Think about how happy you'd be doing what you really want to do. Think what needs to be done to change your life. It doesn't have to happen overnight, but change doesn't happen by itself.

Lisa Nichols overcame her fears by studying speech, facilitation, and entrepreneurship. She began working with teens for free. In time, confidence and credibility allowed her to start charging a fee. Now she's happier than she ever dreamed possible back when her life was "secure". Overcome your own obstacles and be happy!
