A sheep found him and took him in as her own. The lion cub grew into a lion and one day an amazing thing happened. In the distance, he heard the roar of a lion. Suddenly, something powerful emerged within the lost lion\u2014surprising himself, he started roaring as well.\u00a0 Realizing his destiny, he left his sheep mother without looking back and went in search of his lion heritage. In a similar way, our guest on Love University, Jesse Leon, underwent an amazing transformation to discover his inner lion. Raised in a horrific environment of sexual abuse, drug addiction, homelessness, and hopelessness, Jesse awakened to his true nature by graduating from prestigious universities and making a tremendous impact on his community and the world. He also embraced his authentic nature as a gay Latino mana who wants to inspire others to shine their light and love to their communities. We were honored to hear his story, as described in his bestselling memoir, <a href=\"https:\/\/rb.gy\/uruyp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><i>I\u2019m Not Broken<\/i><\/a>. Here\u2019s what we learned from Jesse:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>Channel Your Inner Nerd:\u00a0 <\/b>We all have innate intelligence.\u00a0 You\u2019re smart and resilient no matter where you come from and what you\u2019ve been through. You just need to code switch\u2014apply your knowledge and experience to the environment you\u2019re in and do it for the good of all.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>Be Ready for Unexpected Mentors:\u00a0 <\/b>Be open for moments of magic when remarkable people come into your life to help you. They may not look like individuals you expect to help you, but they can help transform your life if you let them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>Just Go For It: <\/b>If you have a desire, don\u2019t think twice, just go for it.<b> <\/b>At first, Jesse thought his ceiling was to graduate from community college (cosmetology)\u2014he didn\u2019t realize\u00a0 he could do much more.\u00a0 Fortunately, with motivating people to guide him, he applied to UC Berkeley and Harvard, and graduated from these prestigious institutions. Jesse says that if you want something, just put yourself out there. Go for it, and you will be pleasantly surprised that you can accomplish it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Jesse\u2019s message can be summarized in a simple phrase: Don\u2019t Stop Until the Miracle Happens.\u00a0 No one gave Jesse a chance, but he found faith, friendship, and hope by embracing his true authenticity and power within. You can do the same. No matter what you\u2019ve gone through, no matter where you come from, You Are Not Broken. You are perfect just the way are. Embrace yourself, love yourself, and extend your love to others without expectation. Nothing can stop you now.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/mr6h798h\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Click here for more on &#8220;<\/a><b><a href=\"http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/mr6h798h\">I&#8217;M NOT BROKEN&#8221;: THE MIRACULOUS TRUE STORY OF JESSE LEON: FROM SEXUALLY TRAFFICKED, DRUG ADDICTED, HOMELESS, BARRIO CHILD TO HARVARD GRADUATE AND BILLION DOLLAR SOCIAL IMPACT CONSULTANT.<\/a> <\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CLICK HERE FOR THE FULL SHOW CLICK HERE FOR THE SHOW ON YOUTUBE There once was a lion cub who got separated from his mother.
