Everyone Starts From Nothing

Here is something that I have been blown away by lately…

I am fascinated by the concept that incredible and impactful people started with nothing.  Their story started with nothing.  They all started at the same spot – the very bottom and with no story.  Each person was a baby who needed someone else to take care of them.  And then they were a kid and then a teen, and then they started doing things.  For some famous and historic people, it took them many years to make an impact.

But no matter where they ended up and all the incredible things that they did and the incredible story that they lived – they all started in the same spot.  They all started from nothing.

The most famous people in human history and in recent history – Steve Jobs, Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King, etc. – all started as no story.  They started with nothing.  They had to create everything.  They had to make their story.  They had to work hard and take risks and rally people and inspire hearts to make the impact that led to their historic story.

But knowing this leads me to realize two things:

First, if they all started from nothing and now have lived an incredible and impactful story – then that means that anyone can do it.  You don’t have to come from royalty or whatever.  Anyone can go from nothing to historic.

Second….So how did they go from no story to an incredible story?

That’s the question that I am going to explore.
