How Many More People Do You Get To Bless?

…You were born to add something, add value to this world. To simply be something, bigger and better than you were yesterday… Every single thing you’ve been through, every single moment that you’ve come through, were to all prepare you for this moment right now. Imagine what you can do from this day forward with what you now know… How much more do you get to be? How many more people do you get to bless, simply by your mere existence? What will you do with the moment? How will you seize the moment? No one else can dance your dance, no one else can sing your song, no one else can write your story. Who you are, what you are, begins right now!

~ Lisa Nichols, from Chicken Soup for the African America Soul

What a great way to look at today or your whole life! “How many more people do you get to bless, simply by your mere existence?” I keep coming back to this: what a beautiful life we have here. Just because your home isn’t from Architectural Digest and your car isn’t from Robb Report doesn’t mean that you aren’t smack dab in the middle of something amazing. When you stop to think about it, this process of living and growing, failing and succeeding, being lonely and being loved is so amazing that no Ferrari could possibly match it. It’s a wild ride, but well worth the price of admission.

By the way, I lifted this quote from a website called Attitude and Longitude: Exploring Attitude and Inspiration with Angela Loeb. Angela treads some of the same ground we do. Take some time to check out her site.

Make a great day.
