One of the most amazing things that can happen is finding someone who sees everything you are and won’t let you be anything less.
They see the potential in you.
They see the endless possibilities.
And through their eyes, you start to see yourself the same way.
As someone who matters.
As someone who can make a difference in this world.
…
I started to value this mode of thinking and people like these as I grew from an adolescent into a grown man. People like these are few and far between. People like these who have unwavering belief in you are the real treasures of this earth.
The two foremost people who have seen endless possibilities in me are Terry Rasner and Paul Mitchell.
When I met Paul, I was a 17-year-old high school student in Las Vegas with blind dreams to attend the University of Nevada, Reno.
When I met Terry, I was a 22-year-old recent UNR graduate with no idea what I wanted to do in life.
Through the years, they’ve both become parents to me.
They’ve guide, counseled, groomed and molded me into what I am today – and they continue to do so daily.
I’m so grateful for these two.
So, I’ll ask you: Who do you see as purposeful actors like these in your life? What people have taken the time to express belief and blind faith in you? … I’d love to know.
