I recently heard a speaker say, “I can make you rich, famous and live forever!” I thought, “That’s a pretty bold statement.” I had heard that we all want to be rich, live forever and “get laid”. I hadn’t heard the famous part before.

It got me to thinking. It’s true… We all want to be recognized. You want recognition, don’t you? Think back, when you were a baby you cried, not just because your diapers needed to be changed and you were hungry, you needed and wanted attention!

Then you did your first finger painting and your mom put it up on the front of the fridge where everyone could see it. She gave you recognition, you were famous in her eyes.

And it goes on… As adults we have a number of ways of attracting attention to ourselves. Have you noticed the guy who drives the bright red sports car? Of course you have! As you read this, I bet you can think of ways you’ve attracted attention. Maybe doing an extraordinary job at work. Choosing to excel, to be a success, at something.

Hey, we all have a need to be recognized. If not to be famous, to be validated that we’re special. It’s almost as important as breathing for some. (Those who seek the limelight.) I’m not saying the only way to be special is to be famous. That’s a common misconception.

Look… you aren’t just special, you’re a miracle! The fact you were conceived, made it though birth and childhood as well as your unique trials, tribulations and various challenges is incredible. Do you know how fantastic the odds are of all that happening? I don’t know the exact percentage, but it is high enough to make every person on the planet, alive today, a miracle.

Even if you’re not rich, famous and going to live forever, you’re unique and wonderful.

So, your bank account isn’t what you’d like it to be and the media hasn’t been talking and writing about you… AND no one lives forever. Even so… You’re a special person and I’m glad you’re here.
