Starfish Story

It was still early. The mist was still over the sea. In the distance, a solitary figure was gracefully throwing objects out over the water.

Walking along the debris-strewn beach, I looked at the masses of starfish scattered everywhere. The tide had thrown them in, stranding them on the beach. As the sun rose higher, they would perish.

Approaching the stranger, I could see that it was the starfish he was picking up and returning to the sea. Our eyes met. “Do you really think you can help? There are millions of starfish on this beach. You can help so few. Does it really make a difference? Does it matter?”

He reached for another starfish, looking at it intently. “Oh yes,” he replied. “It matters to this one!”

Did you ever feel stranded, like the starfish in the story above? You didn’t know what to do with your life, didn’t know where your life was headed, feeling totally lost and it seemed there was nothing you could do. And you didn’t want to ask for any assistance. I have been there, felt that way myself.

Since then I have learned that I do have the talents, abilities, and skills to be as successful as I desire. I have realized it is up to me to take the initiative to make things happen. That is to create a Vision, Take Action and Make a Difference! I also learned that sometimes I need to allow others to help me, to provide support and encouragement. We are not all alone on this planet and we need to recognize all the valuable resources around us. That awareness was how I threw my stranded “starfish self” back into the sea of life.

The Vision I created is of a world where the stranded starfish are found and returned to the sea of life as I inspire others to recognize their talents, abilities, skills, and all the valuable resources on this planet.

I take action by delivering my message to many. Thus I make a difference in my life as well as the lives of others. Take a look at this starfish video clip
