0:00Take a moment and let's connect the dots. This is Dr. Davina Smith. At first glance, it looks like a sea of fish. So many colors, so much movement, so much happening all at once. Sometimes life feels the same way.

0:21Dr. Davina Smith: In a world filled with billions of people, it's easy to wonder if anyone would notice if we weren't there. It's easy to feel like another face in the crowd, just another voice, just another story, but look a little closer. What makes this picture beautiful isn't one fish standing out above the rest. It's the fact that every fish adds something to the whole, a color, a shape, a movement, a presence. When you take away even one, the picture changes. and the same is true for you. You may not always see the impact you have. You may not always recognize the value you bring but your presence adds something to this world that no one else can.

1:09Dr. Davina Smith: You are part of what makes the world beautiful. This is Dr. Davina Smith helping you connect the dots in your life.
