Loving Life This month Steven had the privilege of interviewing Roslyn Bell. Roslyn gives so much in this chat with Steven so please take the time to watch it yourself and I promise you, you will be truly inspired. Here is a brief summary.
At the young age of 25, married with 2 toddlers, life threw Roslyn Bell a huge curve ball. Then again 5 years later yet another one came along. In this inspiring interview Roslyn tells us how these events changed her life in the most amazing way and what Roslyn believes are the keys factors in achieving a happy and successful life.
When Roslyn was 25 she rang to say she would be home in 20 minutes. It was in fact 6 weeks before she arrived home. On her way home she was in an horrific car crash that left her very seriously injured. In hospital Roslyn refused to accept what the doctors told her and she simply said “NO, I REFUSE THIS!” At the time Roslyn didn’t understand the power of the spoken word and that you can chose what you take on board in life so without even realising it she was living this way and by saying “No! Certainly not!” she ensured that she made a full recovery! Roslyn tells Steven she believes she never really came home because it was a new person that eventually returned home.
As if that wasn’t enough to cope with, when Roslyn was 30 she was diagnosed with cancer. Now she realised this was her 2nd chance at life and she was going to live it! Her dream had been to open a business and so that’s what she did despite everyone saying it would be impossible. She has opened several successful businesses since and Roslyn tells Stevens that the key to her business success is that she believes in herself no matter what anyone else says and she goes by her gut feeling and follows her heart.
Roslyn recognises that not everything goes as we might expect but that by adapting and getting creative we can actually end up with something even better than we originally planned. We hear that it’s really about starting the journey and trusting that it will turn out right. Later in the interview Roslyn provides us with some great tips for dealing with the little dramas in life. We hear how she does everything from a place of giving and the ways in which we can start to do the same. It’s also very clear throughout the interview that Roslyn is a true believer in the power of gratitude and also the importance of having FUN!
We are reminded that it is not our successes that make us but rather it’s the journey, that is how we treat people and how we deal with things along the way. What we have is in fact irrelevant because as Roslyn quite rightly says “if we are open, warm and nice, that’s worth any million pounds!”
Well openness and warmth fl ow from this lovely lady in abundance. I know you will be encouraged, moved and inspired by listening to Roslyn’s interview and by reading her new best selling book ‘I will be home in 20 minutes’ so take action now and watch the DVD! I know you will enjoy it, I certainly did.
