We are only Human. We are all imperfect. I am reminded of my imperfections every time I look in the mirror or my thoughts hold me back from obtaining the true potential that is within in me both physically and spiritually. Every day we are surrounded by people who, through both great and simple means show us the power of leading with love. Love is free. Love is beautiful. Love can be the most powerful gift that can take the giver and receiver to a whole other level of Human awareness. It is this Love that often allows us to overcome painful obstacle both physically and emotionally.
Here is a Music Video by Christina Perri that speaks to our imperfections but is also beautiful. If you have a quality sound system this video is worth the watch with the volume turned up higher.
Ms. Perri often states our abilities as Humans and the things we can do to hide our imperfections from ourselves and others. Many of us will take this video and lyrics as expressing the limitations that we have as humans and simply becoming a machine that is cold and lifeless in order to hide ourselves from hurt, from pain or from ugliness. But, there is one girl by the name of Amy Purdy who shows us the power we possess when one Human gives his love to her and immediately alters her way of life, her belief in herself and what she is capable of achieving.
This is leading with love and the power it possesses.
Ms. Perri states in her song “I can take so much, till I’ve had enough.” I believe Amy Purdy took so much love from her father and others that she had enough to realize the potential she had within herself to overcome this physical obstacle and live the life she was given. A life full of potential.
As Amy Purdy stated, “How can I say thank you? How can I say thank you enough?” That my friends is the question we should ask ourselves every single day, multiple times a day. Our answers will be unique and diverse by individual standards but as Ms. Perri sings, “I can do it.”
