Good Morning and Happy Friday to all!!! Did you validate yesterday? I heard this quote from Sally Koch, “great opportunities to help others seldom come, but small ones surround us every day.” This is where validation comes in. You can validate someone and that little “small” gesture” is all it takes for a GREAT result and that result being changing someone’s day, week, month or even life! You can impact more people than you know by a simple kind gesture or validation of someone’s greatness or uniqueness! We all have our own platform to make a difference and whether you are speaking on NBC, at a local conference or to the person right next to you, you can make a difference. Don’t wait for a certain opportunity or “chance”, make a difference today! It can easily start with that validation. Your small actions or even non actions, make a difference! Whether it is a comment you make, validating someone, or even living by example, your small words or actions can make all the difference in the world.
Yesterday, while traveling, I was sitting next to a nice gentleman, in his late 50’s to early 60’s. Not much communication other than a typical “hi”, etc until I whipped out my GA Snack, well prepared in advance, of course. Gogi Protein Muffins and bell pepper. That is when the conversation began. You know typical conversation, what is that, I use to…. I want to…. but then it ended with his comment, “you have inspired me.” That right there was a perfect example of a small platform, one person, living by example and inspiring others! You never know when you will make a difference! That is what this is all about! Get out there, validate, inspire others, and make a difference, no matter what your platform is!!

Enjoy today and carry with you this theme over the holiday weekend!!
big hugs
