Chandra Bahadur Dangi passed away in 2015, but his name lives on in the Guinness Book and in the minds of anyone who’s ever felt a little too small for their world. His height was a statistic, but his life was a lesson. He proved that value isn’t measured in inches or centimeters. It’s measured in how you move through the world.
So tomorrow morning, when you step out of bed and your feet hit the floor, take a second. You are exactly as tall as you need to be. And if you ever forget that, just ask yourself: “How tall is the shortest man in the world?” The answer—21.5 inches—will make you feel like a giant.
