12 year old boy! Wise and COURAGEOUS beyond his years!

I attended The Master of Influence Seminar today in SLC!  "3 Key Elements" creator and Body Launguage Master and my Mentor, Kirk Duncan taught us the principle of taking steps UP; a level at a time, in the "success staircase".  When you hit a "wall" you don't back away from the pain or fear of your next step...you push through it and go UP! He then invited a 12 year old up on the stage after he asked the question, "What happens if you keep running into walls and can't go UP?" Through a series of questions the boy discovered that he was feeling FEAR.  Kirk asked him what his message to the world was and encouraged him; in his masterful way, to share his message to the 400 people in the audience.  The boy was well poised and confident and began to shed tears as he spoke with depth and power about how he wanted everyone to not be afraid to be who they are! That no matter how bad anyone teased them or how badly they treated you, to never be afraid to be yourself!"  The whole audience shot to their feet in tears and loud applause! It was astounding and deeply moving! By the mouth of "babes"!
