Motivational Monday


YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE
WHO CAN USE YOUR ABILITY.
IT IS AN AWESOME RESPONSIBILITY.
(Zig Ziglar)

Think about that a minute. Really think about it. You are the only one who can be you. I am the only one who can be me. No one else can be us or do the things we can. No one. Ever.

Every fingerprint and footprint we leave in this world is ours and ours alone. Whether we're famous or not. Whether we do something to save the world, or we do something that makes our own little piece of home better. Whether we create music or art or stories. Whether we create amazing families or wonderful classrooms or fantastic work environments or scrumptious meals. Whether we do all of those things, or we do one of them. Whatever we do, let's make it count. 

When we feel like we're not "enough," let's remember that we're already enough simply because we exist.

  4. Julie, isn't it a shame that so many of us struggle with that? Sheesh.

    (Thank goodness I came back when I did! Did I miss anything else? ;-)

  7. You're right -- and only we can make us the best us we've ever been. =]

  8. You got it, Milo. If we don't challenge and push ourselves, then we will just go to waste.
