I say yes.

And…

it just dawned on me:

you may not think

you’re “that” person.

OK.
I’ve got keep my cool about this
because I may not know you.
And even more so – because I may !

Here’s what I’ve discovered about most people.
They have a trailer park mentality.

Why do I call this a trailer park mentality ?
Many years ago I watched a movie called the Last Starfighter.

One of the greatest messages in history is in that movie !

Cliff’s Notes version.

Alien recruiter (Centauri) comes to Earth
looking for kid (Alex) who broke the record on an
arcade game that was actually a Starship simulator.

After a somewhat cryptic “motivational” message
from the alien ambassador / recruiter to Alex
(AKA the kid from the trailer park)

The kid (Alex) says

“I’m not any of those guys, I’m a kid from a trailer park.”

and Centauri says:

“If that’s what you think, then that’s all you’ll ever be !”

Now, it is with the greatest amount of self control
that I do not scream at you right now and tell you
that I don’t care if you’re a kid from a trailer park
or the Vice President of the United States.
I don’t care if you’re a high school dropout
washing dishes at night to feed your 3 kids -
or if you’ve won the Nobel Peace prize… twice.

You DO have what it takes to alter the course
of not only your Life but especially
the lives of others as a result.

So why wouldn’t you ?

Seriously – knowing that you can,
why wouldn’t you ??

Again, staying calm here -
but do me this favor and wrap your head around this.

IF YOU KNEW YOU COULD CHANGE THE WORLD,

WHY
WOULDN’T
YOU ?

I’ve got to say that if you’re reading this
and you’ve read this far down the page -
the ONLY reason a person like you wouldn’t

is because you think you’re just a kid from a trailer park.

You don’t think you’re “all that”.

Great.
Then at least we can see eye to eye.
Because there’s one more thing I know if you’re reading this.

You’ve got far more potential to make an impact
on the world around you than I ever will.

Don’t even try to tell me different -
just accept it, and stop making excuses.

(And if you dwell on this point, you are missing it)

Hang on.
This might not be tactful,
but I really want to cram this thought down your throat.

YOU
have the abilty to make
a positive and meaningful impact
in the lives of those around you.

That’s not an opinion.
It’s not something I’m just saying to make you
or anyone else feel good or warm & fuzzy.
Quite frankly the fact that it’s true is a real source
of frustration to me and keeps me up most nights.

You’re not just a kid from a trailer park.
You’re not just a guy working behind a counter.
You’re not just a gal answering phones.

You’re not just…

What you are is a miracle of virtually untapped potential
waiting to be discovered and unleashed.

Now what will you do
to move the World around you
now that you and I know you can ?

And dare I ask would you give your life to loving,
living, and giving the gift that is your Life ??
