This was taken at the recent 2016 Swedish Days in Geneva, Illinois. I would imagine walking in a costume on stilts might be hard to do, but these kids seemed to enjoy the day and not care how this gent was able to get around. He had a talent of juggling and entertaining the crowds.
Everything in life is relative. Think for a minute about successes in life. If you are a student who always gets C’s and suddenly you get all B’s, that is success. Often we make comparisons that just don’t make any sense by comparing ourselves to the wrong things.
When we are small we accept that others will tower over us. We use our size to get into small places and play. We recognize who are the bigger people around us that are good for us. How do you feel as an adult? Does your size even matter? Are you confident in yourself? I hope so, for you are one of a kind; talented and gifted in your own way.
For most of us we have learned to accept our size and see other things are more relevant. We learn to focus on our work, our interests, and our friendships. It is a good thing to enjoy life and be accepting of what comes our way.
But who do you look up to as a role model? Is it someone who has really worked hard to succeed? Is it someone who started out with basics and worked diligently to earn a degree or get into an industry because of hard work and no play.
We need to make the most of our talents. Being a good teacher, playing the guitar, building a deck, or being a nurse are all needed professions. We need people who can care for our yards; dentists and doctors to care for us and technicians to take care of our vehicles, computers, and homes. Librarians are skilled at helping us learn through the power of books and reading. Teachers are prepared to teach different subjects and grade levels. People in sales are adept in marketing and make us eager to buy cars or purchase clothes. Find a mentor that can help you become your best!
There are so many more things to learn about too. I am learning that there are many aspects of sharing information. As you can see I am learning to Podcast. The task is harder than I knew, but I will succeed and hopefully pass on some good ideas for you to hear. I want to be inspirational for you. One of my business acquaintances said he calls me “The Catalyst”. Wow I was surprised and yet excited that he gave me that title.
We need the fast athletic people for our sports teams and the petite acrobatic individuals to entertain us at the circus. I guess what I am trying to say is that all sizes and shapes are invited and regarded with awe when it comes to living a healthy and happy life. We can join together to serve one another and enjoy every day. We can learn who to look up to and how to really recognize our Blessings!
