Do you know you are one in a million?
Last week we looked at why on a personal and business level it’s important to not only map out and prioritise our values, but also to live them out. Because the danger is, if we don’t check in with our values, and we just let the ups and downs of life happen to us, we may find ourselves off course with our true purpose.
Anyway, as I was having breakfast with my daughters one morning this week I heard over the radio the musician Joel Vaughn share the story behind his song ‘One In A Million’ which came about from a conversation he himself had with his 5yr old daughter one morning.
His story emphasises the importance of value and purpose in our lives.
I found a snippet of it on youtube which I’d like to share with you:
The point is, young or old, we all have true value and a purpose in this world.
“You don’t have to live without a purpose
Without a cause … and feeling flawed
There’s so much more beneath the surface
In every heart … a work of art
You’re made, for more
Than you could ever know
Don’t you, let go!
You’re one in a million
And you gotta know it’s true (and you gotta know it’s true)
No one else within the universe
Could ever be just like you (could ever be just like you)”
(Joel Vaughn – One In A Million)
