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 has changed the lives of at least 60,000 teens and their parents. The organization has prevented over 1,800 suicides, and it has encouraged nearly 1,000 high school dropouts to return to school. Teens everywhere 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.

Many people today struggle with passions as well. It doesn't have to be a passion for speaking. It could be anything. Lisa would often feel as if God were calling her, but she would say, "Can you call back later?" She had a great job making a six-figure income. She had benefits, and she had a small child to consider.

Face your fears. Don't let your security derail your passionate goals. Ask yourself how happy you REALLY are. If there's something you could change to make your life have more meaning, figure out what's holding you back. Change doesn't happen by itself.

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!
