Life is hard. There is no question about that. Yet each of us possess unique talents and gifts intended to enhance our individual journey. Unfortunately we often are so preoccupied with determining how we "measure up" to others, instead of focusing on making the best of our journey. Or sometimes life’s challenges can cause us to lose focus on all that we are and all that we have. Creating a shift in thinking to appreciate and utilize the uniqueness of self is essential to becoming one’s best. And ultimately, isn’t that what we are all truly seeking?
