How many species of fireflies would you guess there are in the world? 10? 50? 100?
Would you believe that in the United States alone there are 170 species of fireflies? More than 2,000 species inhabit the globe! Who knew a seemingly simple insect could display so much variety? And yet, how much more complex and unique are each one of us? How much greater is our capacity to shine brilliantly as one-of-a-kind human beings?

I do not imagine biologists could have discovered 2,000 species of fireflies without careful observation and close study of their differences. Likewise, one glance won’t clue you into the unique gifts inside of those around you. It will take time to learn what makes them tick and where they fit best on the team. However, if you’re observant, I guarantee you will be amazed by, and tremendously thankful for, the richness of diversity you’ll find.
