The power of one. Books have been written about it. Songs have been made about it. Movies have hit the box office with this concept as the underlying inspiration.
The power of one has changed lives around the world. A concept so strong, so powerful that without it, the world as we know it, would not exist.
What is the power of one? It's the will, drive, and determination of one person to make a difference. It's the passion, perseverance, and persistence to accomplish a goal.
Jackie Robinson had the power of one. The courage to step forward. A passion and drive to go against the grain. The first African American to play major league baseball had the power of one. Through the power of one man, major league baseball is what it is today.
Thomas Edison had the power of one. If it wasn't for this one inventor, scientist, and businessman; technology and energy would not be what is is today.
Jesus Christ had the power of one. Because of one man, a universal school of thought exists all over the world.
One person can change a life. One person can change an organization. It only takes the influence of one person to motivate a generation and start a movement.
Everyone has their hero. That special person that inspired them to be, do, or love something that has a lasting impression their life.
For me, that special person was my uncle, Winford Taylor. He was that special person that I looked up to when I was young. I watched his life. I looked at his moves. I listened to his words. He inspired me to be a Realtor, Investor, and Entrepreneur. He inspired me to be a Father, a Husband, and a Provider. If it wasn't for "the power of one", my life wouldn't be what is it today.
In addition to "the power of one" I am also a firm believer of "paying it forward". We have to realize that we have "the power of one" also, and the responsibility of "paying it forward".
One speech can change a life. One quote could inspire a generation. One book can start a movement. I am committed to "the power of one!'
