Watched the powerful Hilary Swank movie "Freedom Writers" again with the kids. In one scene, her on-screen father - proud of her dazzling work with inner-city kids-says "you've been 'Blessed with a Burden.'" Same is true for all of us.
There are no extra people on the planet. We all have gifts, resources and capacities that make us special. And with gifts come responsibilities. To use them. To refine them. To make them brighter so we create more value.
To forget the burden on you to be great is to neglect the call on your life. And no failure could be bigger than that.
