Meghan Markle Reveals The Moment That Changed Her Life

Inspiring stuff

Everyone is currently, and understandably, obsessed with everything Meghan Markle has ever said, done and wore.

And in another dip into the archives, Daily Mail has unearthed some of her seriously inspiring quotes from when she was interviewed in the new book The Game Changers: Success Secrets from Inspirational Women Changing The Game and Influencing The World.

As well as discussing her career and now-shut lifestyle blog, the 36-year-old opened up about being women’s ambassador to the UN and how volunteering changed her life.

“I started working at a soup kitchen in Skid Row of Los Angeles when I was 13 years old, and the first day I felt really scared,” Meghan says in the book, according to Daily Mail. ” I was young, and it was rough and raw down there, and though I was with a great volunteer group, I just felt overwhelmed. I remember one of my mentors (Mrs. Maria Pollia) told me that ‘life is about putting others’ needs above your own fears.'”

“Yes, make sure you are safe and never ever put yourself in a compromising situation, but once that is checked off the list, I think it’s really important for us to remember that someone needs us, and that your act of giving/helping/doing can truly become an act of grace once you get out of your head,” she said.
