It seems like the posts are getting a little spread out again (it has been almost a month since the last one) but, as I'm sure everyone is aware, our priorities in life often are re-arranged to match our "needs" at the time.
I want each of you to take a minute to think about who you are. What makes you unique? What are your goals? What do want to achieve? Think about the things you have done, the challenges you have overcome, the blessings you have received and those you have given to other people.
You, my friend, are awesome!
Think about the impact you have in this world! Everyday you wake up, put on your pants one leg at at a time and say "I'm going to try my best today and I hope I can make it through." You can and you will because you are special! You have qualities that others don't have. You have a heart as big as gold and a mind as sharp as a surgical razor blade. You are changing the world with every minute that comes your way. What an amazing trait you have!
I have thought a lot recently on the world that we live in today. Every where around us there are things that are trying to define our self worth. What clothes you where, what music or TV show you watch. How many boys or girls want to have your number. I have fallen into the trap, as I imagine most of us have, of losing sight of the most important thing. So, you want to know the most important thing is?
You. Me. Us. We are the most important things.
We are all amazing because of who we are and the unique abilities each one of us have.
WATCH THIS (this is pretty important)
Now, I want you to imagine the impact you have on people when you identify those amazing characteristics they have. Can you imagine a world where everyone acted like this? Picked out the good from the traits the world would call mediocre or foolish? To help a person smile instead of break them down? Think about the impact of ONE minute. Of taking one minute of time to sit and talk with someone about themselves. Think about the impact of ONE compliment, of ONE small statement identifying a powerful quality that that ONE, single person has. Think of a world of smiles. What a place it would be!
But, why dream about it? Let's make it!
Take the challenge. See what you can do. Validate someone today and change the world one compliment at a time.
Roll On --Andrew
I love the Validation short. I never get tired of seeing it.
