Lastly, be kind to yourself. As you do so, you will see your world change. Talking about yourself in a positive and uplifting way will help others to treat you well and will help you to see the beauty in the things you are doing. Accepting compliments graciously will inspire people to see the good in you as well. We are all in this together. We live in a world that is full of negative influence. We also live in a world that is full of amazing, uplifting, positive, and beautiful people and messages. Let’s all make a better effort to seek out these things, and make other’s lives better with the treasures that we find.

My challenge to you today is to embrace your role wherever you are. If you are in charge of 9 year olds, knock it out of the park with 9 year olds. If you are in charge of cleaning up the office at the end of the day, make that place shine! Whatever your role, make people think it’s the most important job in the organization. It will be contagious. Be a fountain, not a drain. Wherever you are, bring beauty to it.

I would argue that our most important signatures are the one’s that no one sees. I am talking about a million small signatures. I am talking about the every day decision to put your name on every single day. Will I finish this work out? Or not. Will I put my best effort in for this team? Or not. Will I be a trustworthy person? Will I be a great teammate? Will I give my best effort? Will I prepare for this job interview? Will I prepare for this presentation? The list goes on and on. The truth is that your success and your performance is uniquely tied to your willingness to “put your signature” on these small moments of your life. The road to success, and failure, is quite literally a million small moments.

Be the voice for someone else. Whether it is for your spouse, your child, your sibling, your neighbor, your friend, or the person next to you on the bus. Be that voice. Figure out a way to build a relationship with someone so that when they are facing something difficult or challenging, that they hear your voice, and that when they hear your voice, it is positive and it pushes them over the top.
