“I would so much like young people to have a sense of the gift that they are. Not many of them feel like that.” — John Denver
Sometimes a few words are enough to shift the way we see the day.
And these words from John Denver hit a little deeper than most.
Too many of us grow up thinking we’re a project to be fixed instead of a gift to be unwrapped. Somewhere along the way, we stop seeing ourselves with wonder. We forget we’re not here to earn our worth—we’re here to live it.
I think the saddest thing isn’t when someone loses their spark. It’s when they never realized they had one in the first place.
So let this Thought of the Day be your reminder: you are a gift. Not because of what you do, but because of who you are—right now, as you are. Messy, tired, trying. Still a gift.
