Exceptional Emma

by Marie Soleil

“Life isn’t about the things you do. It’s about who you are as a person. That’s what makes you more than average.”

“Sometimes we need the sad parts to teach us how to be happy. And sad things help us remember what’s most important.”

“I’m so grateful that I have this opportunity to rest and remember that life isn’t about what you do, but who you do it with.”

“Average means…not bad, and not good. Just right in the middle.” “Oh.” She thinks for a moment. “So it means…enough.”

“I propose we redefine what it means to be exceptional. In a world filled with competition and scrutiny, what makes your life the exception instead of the rule? Passion. Kindness. Compassion. And, at the end of the day, love.”

“Please remember: in every way that truly matters, you are absolutely exceptional.”
