Here’s an amazing story about a brilliant woman, Aimee Mullins.  A record-setting runner, actor, model and innovator, Aimee redefines our understanding of beauty and expands human potential. 

How do you perceive the challenges on your life?  Do you embrace them?  Do you see adversity as an opportunity to deepen your understanding of yourself and the world around you?  If not, why not? 

We are each configured differently.  Each one of us has the privilege of bringing our unique perspective and set of capabilities to the table.  Instead of lamenting that which we don’t have, why not celebrate that which we do have?  Like pieces of a puzzle each one of us adds something important to the picture.

Take time to give deep thanks for who you are and what you have.  Take care not to dwell on who you wish you were and what you wish you had.  Instead, be creative in dealing with the world around you.  You possess an incredible and unique combination of factors, traits and capabilities, but that peculiar mix is only valuable, is only meaningful, as you embrace your world with passion, creativity, focus and a radiant smile.
