“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.” – Rob Siltanen
Today, your assignment it to see the spark in someone in whom you do not expect a spark.
Find the spark and do or say what you can to keep it going to the next step of intensity.
Protect it from the torrential rain of criticism or the inertial force of negativity.
Encourage someone.
Help them to discover their own genius.
Affirm them in being themselves.
Introduce them to others.
Find some way to be a friend if only for a few seconds.
Make a difference in one life today and you might just …
will just, change the world.
See the genius and you might just discover that the glass through which you view this friend …
is a mirror and ….
the genius is …
YOU!
