When you do or say something that is S~H~O~C~K~I~N~G.
And it jolts the other person out of their daily stupor so that they really take notice.
It's hard to stand out in a global population of over 7.2 billion people and counting.
Everyone wants to be special, unique, have an impact, and make a difference.
It's our answer (partially) for why we are here and why it matters.
Our life is a journey and it can be a log slog if we don't have a purpose and meaning in it all.
We look to the One Above for guidance, meaning, love, and protection.
But we also have to look at ourselves in the mirror...what are we doing with our lives.
Shock value doesn't mean real value...it's just the initial jolt to get noticed...like that purple and green spiked hair or those sparkly shoes you adorned.
So you have to take the initial jolt and make it into deep impact--by touching not just a cord, but the nerves that run through.
In Florida, there was a funny sign along the highway with that shock value that said something like this:
"Your Wife Is Hot So Call {X} To Fix Your A/C!"
What did you say about my wife?
You know you're right, I do need to invest in better air conditioning! ;-)
