How will you impact others?

Sometimes people cross OUR paths to make US appreciate life and provide the insights of their experiences and wisdom from their challenges to better OUR outlook. From a very early age, Claire Wineland chose this to be her PURPOSE. For those that knew Claire, from her TED talks or her amazingly personal and emotional Youtube posts, then YOU know the impact that she has made. For those who may not have heard of Claire, here is just some of her brilliance:

"Do to not be afraid of what hasn't happened yet."

"Learn to love what is."

"Life isn't just about being happy. It's not about how you feel second to second. It's about what you're making of your life and whether you can find a deep pride in who you are and what you've given."

"I accepted at a young age that I wasn't going to plan that far ahead in the future. I was going to do as much as I possibly can with what's in front of me. No matter how completely bleak it may look to everyone else, I was going to prove them all wrong and do something with it that I thought was valuable and dignified."

Before her double lung surgery she said with her signature smile and laugh, her eyes not yet dry:

"Go enjoy your life. Really. I mean that seriously,go enjoy it, 'cause there are people fighting like hell for it."

Rest in eternal peace Claire. You had impact and made a difference during your visit and it was truly an honor following you on your journey.
