What about me?

Yolanda Spearman- The Speaker

I sat in the audience and marveled at the speaker moving across the stage with grace.  The words coming out of his mouth made laugh, cry, think and feel renewed.  I listened enraptured by his message and I thought to myself how could I bring change to the lives of others like him.  I felt like I was good enough and I thought to myself “I am a good speaker, why aren’t I given the opportunity to share”

Have you ever wondered why not me?  Let’s look at this scenario that I shared a little differently.

I returned home after attending the motivational event.  I met with a group of friends and retold the stories from the speaker.  I harbored the flame from this event for weeks and shared tips and ideas to friends and family alike.

When I sat down to write in my journal a few months later I revisited the thought again “Why aren’t I given the opportunity to share”.   Maybe when opportunity knocked the door looked different.
