I had the pleasure of meeting and hearing the amazing Lisa Nichols speak at an event, she is the featured teacher in “The Secret” and author of “Chicken Soup for the African American Woman’s Soul”.
Lisa shared so much incredible insight, but here is something that got me thinking…
“Use your mess to make a message. Instead of standing in your stuff, stand on your stuff.”

We can look at what we consider “mess” in our lives and let it stop us. It can dampen our flame of passion and purpose where it is barely flickering under the surface.
But… our “mess” can also ignite the fire of possibility and opportunity.
It can rekindle our passion and purpose.
We can use it to service and encourage others.
That is my story.
Instead of standing in my stuff, I decided to stand on my stuff.
Instead of the stuff controlling my life… I decided to use my stuff, my journey as a vehicle to help others.
You have the capability right now to overcome your stuff. No matter how overwhelming it seems– you have the ability right now to turn your mess into a message.
There are so many amazing stories of people that overcame incredible obstacles and now have a life of true fulfillment. Don’t look at their life stories as just an observer.
- What skills and talents do you have?
- What common themes keep weaving their way back into your life?
- Do you like working with children? Writing? Organizing?
You can make a contribution no matter how small it may seem. Start by gaining clarity around your passion.
You too can create an amazing life.
In fact, you are creating right now by reading this.
Can you imagine people looking at you as one of those amazing stories?
IT CAN HAPPEN.
Your life story can inspire, motivate, and ignite others to make a message out of their mess. Why?
- You can open the door to opportunity and possibility.
- You have so much to give.
- You bring value to everyone and everything.
- You story can inspire others to achieve what they never thought possible.
I can tell you this, but the decision to believe it is yours. I want you to believe it with absolute certainty.
Through the mess, find your message.
What will your message be?
