Q: What have you learned about yourself through your journey that you want to share with people that would be helpful for them as they read [your book]? What are the things that you’ve learned about yourself? Inspired Purpose Coach
A: “Listen to your heart and to yourself. Don’t be afraid to be yourself. Anyone is already taken, so pick yourself and it makes a difference. I know it can be difficult and we need the courage to do it because sometimes we have to move on from things to be to ourselves. Don’t be afraid because when you burn this door, behind this door, it’s a mess and this is your way. You would find your power, your calling and your talents. You can develop, evolve and everything is changing. Acceptance. This is what I learned from the beginning and listened to your heart and your instinct.”
