May 18th, 2008 I received a letter in my inbox. It was long and detailed...with no stronger intention then the simple fact of saying hello. A small portion of the letter continues to uplift me each and every time I read it.
"I just wanted you to know that you are amazing. Every one else is thinking it, they would just feel weird saying it randomly. Trust me. The world thinks you are fantastic and we're all blessed that there are people like you around to make it that much better for us.
... So thanks. =]"
The purpose of me posting this is not for self recognition. I suppose it is more for inspiration. I do believe that there is at least one person for everyone that uplifts us more than we can possibly do ourselves. It's often hard to live in a world of competition and expectation. If every person received an email like I did last year...we would save it, glance at it on our bad days, and remember that at least one person believes we are making a difference through our own personal storm. Bottom line...try and be happy. I know that when I read over that line in my email I sure want to live up to the standard they feel I am personally accomplishing. Then I often take a step back and realize that by simply being me...I am doing exactly that. Rock on and live on. Make yourself proud...that's most important. I mean that.
Thanks friend...wherever you are. I suppose you're the inspiration to this post.
