These Words Changed My Life

Here’s how meeting a famous author changed my life…

One time, I (Candice) had a chance encounter with one of my favorite authors. I was just a college student back then sitting amongst business leaders attending a high profile conference. I was making my way across campus during the lunch break when suddenly, someone offered me an extra ticket to the exclusive VIP session with one of my favorite speakers from the event.

Amazed at the offer, I took the ticket and hurried over to the room where I suddenly found myself a few feet from this great leader. When it came time for Q&A, I debated in my head whether or not to raise my hand and ask his advice.

I knew this was my one chance, but I also wasn't even really supposed to be here. Finally, I summoned the courage to raise my hand.

I'll never forget his response. "You already are a writer. You just need to get started."

These few short words broke a limiting belief that had been keeping my goals of writing and publishing a book out of reach. It wasn't until I began to change the way I saw myself that my dream became a reality.

Has someone ever said something to you that significantly changed the way you saw yourself and what you are capable of?

The beliefs we have about ourselves can empower or hinder us from achieving the things we most desire. What limiting beliefs do you need to let go of today?

Oh, and by the way, I did write and publish that book, which became an Amazon Bestseller. :)
