One of the strongest signs of your growth is realizing you’re no longer holding on to the beliefs that once used to drain you.Marc and I received a thank you email recently from a longtime reader and coaching client named Kevin (I’m writing about him today with his consent).
He said our books and coaching sessions helped him and his wife maintain a positive, intentional mindset as they struggled and grew through one of the most difficult periods of their lives.
Certain sections of his email nearly moved me to tears:“After injuring my back, losing my job because of it, being evicted from our apartment, moving in with my in-laws, nursing my five-year-old through a nearly fatal bout of pneumonia, I was stuck in a deep rut.
And I was sitting on the front porch of my in-law’s house feeling sorry for myself one day, when my childhood best friend called me crying and said, ‘Mel-Mel-Melissa, my baby girl, was killed in a car wreck yesterday.’ And suddenly I felt like the lucky one…”Kevin then went on to say, “It was the shock of Melissa’s tragic accident that motivated me to review ten pages of notes I had previously taken from your books and our most recent coaching sessions.
