I Believe in You! (Pep Talk)

I'm going to tell you something right now and I want you to listen closely.
It doesn't matter if you are at the top of your game or struggling through life hour by hour, minute by minute, you are so much more than you can ever begin to fathom!

I'm going to share something with you and I want you to take it to heart.
I don't care if you have a network of billions of people or if you have one friend, you are more important to the people around you than you could ever know!

I'm going to lay it all out here for you and I don't want you to shrug this off because I don't personally know you.
Regardless if you're the Valedictorian of your class at Harvard or flipping burgers at the local diner, you have so much to offer this world.

You may be my best friend or you may be someone I've never met. Either way, I want you to know that I believe you in you. I believe in your dreams and ambitions; I believe that you have the strength to dig deep and plow through any trial that you encounter. Just always know that I believe.

But it doesn't matter what I believe, what matters is that you begin to believe. The choice is yours as it always has been. Whatever you are going through right now, where ever you are in your life at this point, how ever you are feeling, you need to know that you can do this!

So keep your head up, set your gaze upon the goal ahead, and LIVE it up!

The Starfish Story

The Starfish Story Original Story by: Loren Eisley One day a man was walking along the beach when he noticed a boy picking something up and gently throwing it into the ocean.  Approaching the boy, he asked, “What are you doing?” The youth replied, “Throwing starfish back into the ocean.  The surf is up and the tide is going out.  If I don’t throw them back, they’ll die.” “Son,” the man said, “don’t you realize there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds of starfish?  You can’t make a difference!” After listening politely, the boy bent down, picked up another starfish, and threw it back into the surf.  Then, smiling at the man, he said…” I made a difference for that one.” Are there starfish in your life that are washed up on shore? Is there one person in your life who you could influence for the better? We all have a responsibility to help each other out. Never tell yourself that what you do doesn't make a difference, because to one it could make all the...

Build a Bridge

What am I doing? I'm building a door. It's a big door, stretching so high I can't reach the top. It will extend from way over there on that side all the way over there on the other side. You are probably wondering what kind of door I am buidling. It's not an ordinary door with a wood frame and a wooden sill, hinges, a door knob, and all the things that ordinary doors have. No, this door is no ordinary door at all. You see, my door is made out of brick, bricks that are heavy and firm and strong. I can visualize the bricks being black or blue. Each brick has holes in it. You know the kind we liked to stick our fingers in when we were kids. Normally these bricks are used with mortar filling in the holes to give the finished product extra strength. In my door I'm laying bricks on their side so that the holes provide little spaces to see through. When I'm finished my door will be permanent. There will be no door handle on either side. In order for my door to open, ...

Just like Harry, You Don't Have to Journey Alone

With the anticipation of the final Harry Potter movie coming out, I figured it would only be right that I took a second to relate Harry Potter to all of us. I'm proud to say that I've read all of the books multiple times, and the most obvious lesson to me throughout the whole series is the importance of allowing our friends to help us with our life journey. This couldn't be clearer than in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows." By the way, have no fear, there are only a few small spoilers. We all have our life journey that we are meandering through. Some moments are all sunshine and rainbows, some are dull and uneventful, while others are full of trials which require friends to help us get through. As I was reading Deathly Hallows, I was struck by how Harry acts as he is carrying the locket. His best friends are there with him, yet he feels so lonely, mainly because of the power of the locket horcrux. Similarly, perhaps you can think of a time when it felt like...
