I love history, so naturally I have a lot of favorite historical figures—but the first one that always comes to my heart and mind is Jeanne d’Arc.
The fact that she beat all the odds by traveling alone, at just 19 years old—and as a woman—through enemy-occupied France, just to speak to the future king about her dreams… and it worked. Did she hear voices? Was it God? It doesn’t really matter. She believed it, and that belief alone was enough to make her accomplish miracles.
I think I see a lot of her in myself. I really believe that what you believe becomes real—or at least has a much better chance of becoming real.
