During my senior year in college, I was working the midnight shift as a toll collector. I wondered what I was going to do with my life. I was stuck in an unfulfilling relationship and uncertain about my future. One day, things turned around for me, though, when I stumbled upon a book entitled Live Your Dreams by Les Brown, a world-famous motivational speaker.

I spent many nights in that tollbooth, getting inspired by Les’s message. A few months later, I attended one of his seminars, which gave me the courage to make some positive changes in my life. Several months later, I started writing a book designed to change people’s lives: a book called Spell SUCCESS in Your Life.

Halfway through writing the book, I came down with a case of the “Who am I” syndrome. “Who am I to write a book at such a young age and to inspire others?” That evening, I came close to saying “goodbye” to my dream of becoming a published author. Fortunately, my wife didn’t think that was a good idea. She said, “Peter, you have a message that people need to read. Don’t hit that ‘delete’ button.” I took her advice, and clicked “save” instead of “delete.” Every day, I thank the Lord that I did!

Two years later, I met Les Brown at a Toastmasters conference. I told Les how much he had inspired me, and asked if he would endorse my book when it was done. He smiled and said, “I’d be glad to.” A few months later, he called me at home, and said he would be honored to write the Foreword to my book. A year later, my book was published – a dream come true! God has moved mountains for me – I am now a professional speaker, an internationally published author, and my book is being translated into six languages, and counting!

My book never would have been published if I had given up and decided to hit the “delete” button. So remember: when you are overwhelmed with self-doubt or paralyzed by fear, I encourage you to remember that you have a special God-given gift that the world needs. Never, ever give up!
