AYD - Feb 27, 2013 - One is never Just One.

"One is too small a number to achieve greatness."
- John C. Maxwell

Sometimes they hide in the shadows.
Unrecognizable to the less watchful eye.
Often, they are woven in the folds of daily focus ... as our eyes pass over them like ghosts.

Okay...enough with the dramatic attempt.

You are not successful by yourself.  Maybe the stars aligned, and you were in the right place at the right time, or maybe your worked your butt off .... but along the way you had help.

A movie is great once the editor and the sound man and the wardrobe people and all those others have done their best to apply their special touch so that action hero can run away with all the photoshoots, and media and hype and attention.

He is a successful actor. Sure.  But ... how did he get there?

One is too small a number to achieve greatness.

Look around you.  Ask yourself how the efforts of others in your work, your school, or your over all day ... how does their efforts enable yours to be a little more focussed or easier?

Allow yourself to think outside the box.

And...now... give yourself some credit and review how your actions positively impact some of the people you may not even know in your day.

You are a part of someone else's helpful number needed to achieve success.
They may not even know it.  Much like we often overlook others.  Unintentionally of course, but now we have an awareness, we can put some time in our busy schedule to sit and recognize how we as one,
are assisted by many.
