Author and life developer Silva Mirzoian merged her personal life challenges with business know-how from a successful real estate career to develop the “Jump-Start Your Life®” book and seminars.

Who/what contributed to your inner strength?
Passion for my life. I discovered that through challenges I was developing into being my powerful self, the self that is full of purpose, and I intended to fulfill it.

When in your life was your inner strength most tested and how did you deal with the incident?
My inner strength has been tested several times and will be until the day I die. Every time I have overcome a challenge, it was tested, including overcoming two divorces, one that was abusive. I walked out with no money, no home of my own and no work. Inner strength was the best gift the universe could have given me.

What suggestions do you have to help people realize their capabilities?
Look into the mirror and love who you see. That is who is in charge of your life. Don't waste it.

Why is it important to focus on inner strength?
Their lies our goldmine to success. Everything that we desire in life, we already have. We just need to release it so the world can see it and benefit from it.

What are your next goals and what positive thoughts or activities keep you striving toward your goals?
End the cycle of abuse, poverty and homelessness in our world. Educating one about their inner tools is my mission in life.
