The Gift

Sometimes the universe hands you a gift,

and accepting it

goes against every bit of common sense you’ve ever heard.

But that kind of sense is called common for a reason.

To live an extraordinary life –

you’ve got to embrace uncommon sense.

You’ve got to do the thing

that puts a big smile on your face

and fills your body with a sense of ease.

You’ve got to tell the noise in your head

to shut up.

You’ve got to stop looking to others for confirmation or approval.

You’ve got to unwrap that gift,

let the joy wash over you,

and just go out there

and be amazing.
