More Alike Than Different.

In case you did not know... I am a huge fan of CBS Sunday Morning. There is something about the stories they share that just make everything feel like home. Today, I was fortunate enough to be able to watch this Sunday Morning at my dad's house (which is a treat in and of itself) and this was one of the stories that was aired today.

​Take 5 minutes to watch it if you have not seen it already. If you have seen it, I recommend you watch it again because you just might catch something you did not catch the first time.

Have you watched it yet? What did you take away from it?

If you would have told me 20+ years ago that Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg would be hosting a TV show together I would not have laughed out loud and said, "yeah right." They could not have been any more different.... or so I thought.

Isn't life wonderful?!

Here are two people that could not appear to be any more different on the surface but in all actuality they are very much alike in so many ways

Think about that. Look at the history of their lives and you will see what I am talking about

• They both are self made business people
• They both have fought for what they achieved
• They both had to overcome difficulties and long shot odds to be successful
• They both have spent time in prison
• They both have reinvented themselves
• They both have tremendous work ethic
• They both are recognized around the world, just by their name

​"We are not all so different." ~ Martha Stewart.

Just when you think you do not have anything in common with someone, I challenge you to talk with them. When you take the time to have a conversation and build a relationship, most of the time, you will find that you have more in common than you realize.

Don't believe me? Try it with your most challenging student. I bet you will be surprised to see how much you have in common with that student if you take the time to get to know him or her.

Isn't life wonderful?

Think. Achieve. Succeed.
