Pay Attention to the Ordinary - It's Extraordinary

Last month I discussed Impostor Syndrome and how it creeps in to tell us we are not enough. We are weak.

I needed help recently silencing my Impostor. I was feeling very vulnerable and exhausted. I needed to get out of my “head space”. I asked for my music list to be played randomly. This is the song that came up first. It is EXACTLY what I needed. For me, it was God speaking to me.

… I will stand by you
I will help you through

… Don’t be afraid to fall
I’m right here to catch you

Oh I’m gonna hold you
And I won’t let go
Won’t let you go
No I won’t

I don’t remember the next song, but it was like, “See, I’m still here.” The third song was completely random, but made me dance a little as I finished getting ready for my day.

These are the ordinary moments that are truly extraordinary. Listen for them. They are all around you every day.

FUEL:

The below video lives on my email signature. It has gone up more than down since I created it on May 6th. For those of you traveling beyond the mid-west, make a note that your fuel surcharge will reflect the rates in the states you are visiting. CA remains the highest with New England not far behind.
