There are no record books for them.

But I'll tell you what, if there were, you'd be there.

And if I could remind you of that every day, I would.

The small things you do do not feel so small to those around you.

In fact, your mere existence changed my life, and I know I'm not alone, not even close to alone.

It's a tough world we live in.

Tough enough to bring even the strongest amongst us to our knees.

Yet you think you're flawed and insufficient.

I ask, compared to what?

A lot of people would have folded a long time ago

wouldn't be fighting for a dream or standing for anything.

A lot of people wouldn't be giving so much of themselves.

Again, I continuously run into this question.

Why is it that the ones who are changing the world, not with their social media follower count, but with their actions, so often fail to see their own value?

Perhaps they're using the wrong measuring sticks.

Maybe their sights are set so high they don't realize all that they're making better along the way.

Maybe they don't know that every soul they light up puts in motion a ripple effect, an exponential value add.

But if you just lift your head up and look around, you would see quite the ripple effect.

You would see quite the chain reaction.

You would see that you are not just working towards change, you are actively embodying it.
