In my job training, our trainer shared with us a story that over the years Jenny Craig has adopted as its' story of inspiration. Tomorrow is my first day on the job so I decided to remind myself of its' message and share it with those who may read this.
The Starfish Story
One day a man was walking along the beach when he noticed
a boy picking something up and gently throwing it into the ocean. The surf is up and the tide is going out. If I don't throw them back, they'll die.
You can't make a difference!
After listening politely, the boy bent down, picked up another starfish,
and threw it back into the surf. Then, smiling at the man, he said
and threw it back into the surf. Then, smiling at the man, he said
"I made a difference for that one."
Here is to hoping we can all find our starfish-- the way we will make an impact on this world no matter how slowly. I think my Jenny Craig clients will make some great starfish. :)
Until next time,
