“Imperfections are not inadequacies; they are reminders that we’re all in this together” (Bren Brown)

Hello Friends,

What have you done or experienced this week that made you say or think “extraordinary”? We live in a world full of incredible “extra ordinaries” that happen every day. The problem is that you rarely hear about most of them unless they are experienced personally.

The main stream media loves to broadcast and exaggerate all the negative news and violence happening around the globe, but what about the things that inspire or cause you to smile in gratitude. These positive things occur everywhere, so why do we not hear about them. Perhaps a large part of it is our culture, and what we have been trained to find interesting and entertaining.

This past week I came across a page on Facebook that I want to share called “Growing Up Extraordinary”. It is full of stories and videos of kids who have beaten the odds and overcome significant challenges because they never gave up. They embody some of those “extraordinary stories”! I encourage you to check it out.

Each of you has specialized unique talents that set you apart. You also have a story to tell,  a story that could no doubt inspire others.  So no matter the imperfections and inadequacies that may exist, believe that you are also extraordinary. And always remember that the best is yet to come!
