Awakening the Giant within

When we think about giants; we envision people who are bigger, stronger and have more influence than the rest of us. Although many people think that giants are born, I believe that giants are made. We are each born with amazing potential that can revolutionize the world if explored or can remain dormant if unexplored.

Giants go through a process of awakening to the reality of who they. It all begins with a realization of the innate potential that is within and the endless possibilities that could be explored. The turning moments comes at different points of people’s lives and under different circumstances but the results are always drastic. These include a total makeover of personality, esteem and confidence.
