62 - Adversities Can Bring Us Joy with Lisa Edwards

Lisa Edwards is an inspirational speaker and best selling author. Lisa grew up in a tough situation and went through a lot of hardships within the last several years. Through these trials and adversities, she has become inspired to share her story and teach about self love. She also has really learned to step outside of her comfort zone. How? Here is what she has to say. 

"I listened to the “Gurus” who preach that all the magic happens when you step outside of your comfort zone. That all you have to do is go to where the fear is and you will become an unstoppable! I continuously pushed myself outside of my comfort zone.  I spent a large part of my adult years living a nomadic lifestyle, moving from place to place and country to country, trying my hand at everything from teaching English to dealing roulette.  I manifested everything I focused on but despite my ability to achieve my goals, the magic never happened. The AHA moment never came and any happiness I DID feel, had the longevity of a kite in a windless sky. No matter what i did, or what I achieved, I could never shake off the feeling that everyone was in some way better than me. So how did I finally let go of these limiting beliefs?

Well, it was a massive trauma in recent years that turned my whole world upside down and thrust me onto an unwitting journey of self-discovery.  Through the betrayal, humiliation, failures and illness I finally had my aha moment. The one simple truth that would enable me to finally break free from the jaws of victimhood and bravely own my story. It was the realization that the fundamental key to true success and happiness is SELF-BELIEF. No, NOT self-belief that you are capable of achieving BUT self-belief that YOU ARE WORTHY of achieving. There is a BIG difference. Self-confidence is NOT competence. We are all capable and we can all achieve but until you know your value and your worth, you’ll have more lasting success bringing water up from a well, with a sieve! The good news is that you don’t need “Johnny” to say that nobody puts you in the corner. You already know that, don’t you?!"
