Breaking The Mask

Click on PhotoOn the ten-year anniversary of my appearance on Oprah, I decided to revisit who I was and what was unfolding back then. Single, bright-eyed and packed for London, my next chapter was about to begin. Trauma led me to a turning point. A loss gave birth to a win.
I share this story as a reminder that perspective is everything. It took a fall to force me out of my comfort zone and a shattered world to find my wings. So, as you watch this video, consider your own journey…What pain could you prospect for passion and purpose? What defining moment could you create? What fear of change or limiting identity holds you back from realizing your highest fate?
Some people need a divorce, a death, or a disaster to awaken to their greater potential. For me, I needed to break my face. But life won’t push us down the stairs over and over again when we get the lesson the first time; use every event as an opportunity for evolution. When life feels like it is over, it might just be starting. The key is to reframe.

Unfortunately for most if us it takes something terrible to happen before we start making changes in the way we think and live. Thank you for helping us to stay positive and restructuring our stale mindset.
