We hurry through life, passing by people every day — but do we really see them? 

Slow down. 

Walk in their shoes. See the world through their eyes. 

I am convinced that if we did this — if we took the time to really listen — we could find something redeeming in people. 

We could be challenged. 

We could be encouraged.

We could bridge gaps. 

We could find common ground. 

The life story of a stranger — no matter how seemingly ordinary or mundane — has the potential to inspire.
