One Entrepreneur's Journey: Maggie Miller of the DiscoverHope Fund
"When you have that small voice or that idea or that dream planted inside of you, no matter what it is, that doesn't go away. It just proceeds to grow and cultivate inside of you..." These are the words of Maggie Miller, the Founder of the DiscoverHope Fund. DiscoverHope is "an international development non-profit whose primary goal is to help promote abundance for women and their families who are living in economic poverty...through micro-credit and sustainable support systems." I had really hoped to get an internship with them this summer, but TMF ended up working out better. Still, it an incredible organization and Miller's story and perspective is one I love hearing.

"The whole sentence, "Be the change you wish to see in the world," seems like this out there concept, but it's absolutely possible and doable, and it's right in front of us. The way that we do that is we wake up every day, and we give our greatest passion and strength to the world moment by moment, and if you really do that, it's magnetic. People see it in you, and they want to do everything they can to help you, because it's just exciting, and then after they do that for a while, they say, "This is really possible for me. I want this for myself, too." They start waking up and giving their greatest strengths to the world moment by moment, and they start affecting people the same way you affected them. In that way, if you think about how that all plays out, there is change."
"When someone ignites their own power, their life changes."
