I closed the last page of Believe Bigger: Discover the Path to Your Life Purpose, and just stood there in the middle of my kitchen, a smile on my face, (happy) tears streaming down my face. My perspective on Purpose, Faith and Life in general would never be the same. Not after reading this book…
There are very few books that will make a lifelong impact on you. Marshawn Evans Daniels’ Believe Bigger masterpiece is one of them. It’s like a gentle nudge from God to understand your significance, purpose and the path to get there. It’s also one of the strongest calls to reclaiming your life, gifts and awaken that greatness that is within each and every one of us, you may ever come across.
First off, let me tell you about Marshawn (I’m calling her Marshawn as I consider her to be my spiritual sister). Marshawn Evans Daniels is a reinvention strategist who mentors women around the world to live bolder in business, faith and life.I have been following her on social media for quite some time and have always been in awe of her impact on women like myself. Her message around women turning pain into purpose, and mess into magnificent life missions, has touched me personally in all areas of my life. I have been honored to be part of her book launch team for Believe Bigger, and what a blessing it has been!
As a woman, a believer and an entrepreneur who made a challenging, sometimes heart-wrenching leap into my purpose in faith, her message rocked me to my core. It spoke to every single fiber of self-doubt, regret, lack of confidence, that I have ever experienced as a timid child raised in a single-parent home, an introvert, and recovering success addict and people-pleaser. As I followed her own story going through being misunderstood and mislabeled as a “problem child”, to the demise of her wedding days before it even happened, and her stepping into her purpose to help women unleash their potential, I couldn’t help but see my own. Literally, anyone reading this book can see themselves in Marshawn’s story of facing seemingly insurmountable obstacles and overcoming through faith, resilience and the ultimate power of God.
Through her five stages of divine reinvention, which she details so perfectly in the book, Marshawn Evans Daniel takes you on a personal journey of introspection around your purpose in life and how to get there.
“Spiritual growth comes from perspective” – Believe Bigger, Marshawn Evans Daniels
What Believe Bigger gives you is this much-needed perspective of faith and self-belief that many, if not most women, miss. As we’re given flawed messages of inadequacy from childhood on, from our relationships to our careers and businesses, we tend to start believing that we may not have a purpose after all. We stop thinking that we do have a bigger vision, and instead settle for the ordinary when we carry the extraordinary inside of us.
“Dreams are not just to be longed after, dreams are meant to be lived.” Believe Bigger, Marshawn Evans Daniels
Yet, in Believe Bigger, Marshawn Evans Daniels doesn’t just speak about potential and dreams. She has actually crafted an entire Purpose Map, clearly depicting the path to leading a life of purpose. She actually provides a tangible step-by-step approach to recognize your gifts and harness them to fulfill God’s plan for your life, move others forward and improve their lives in the process.
“Gifts align us with the best parts of ourselves that bring the best in others”. Believe Bigger, Marshawn Evans Daniels
Through the pages of Believe Bigger, you get to understand that every struggle, every difficulty, every heartbreaking moment is simply providing you gift-giving lessons so you have more IMPACT in all areas of life. This is not a survival, quick-tips kind of book. What it is, is a manual to thrive and not just survive, to have significance and not just success.
“God has called every woman to lead. A life of influence and impact is the very center of feminine purpose.” Believe Bigger, Marshawn Evans Daniels
Realizing that leadership is my birthright, along with every other woman, totally changed my perspective. Which also means that sitting in the back of the room, silencing our voices, or busying our lives with non-impactful activities, is not what we’re supposed to accept. Instead, you not only have the right, but the responsibility, to step into the glorious significance of being the woman you have been created to be.
But it all starts with believing bigger….
Thank you Marshawn, for an amazing, life-changing, revolutionary book!
To Your Success,
The Corporate Sister.
