Have you ever heard of any of these places?

Hayward, California

Kingfisher, Oklahoma

Kosciusko, Mississippi

Westmoreland County, Virginia,

If you have then great, if not then you’re not alone. I too had never heard of them.

These somewhat unknown places are the birth places of some very well-known individuals.

While there can be some advantages to being born in a certain place, there are also countless examples of individuals that were born in all parts of the world that have created amazing lives for themselves.

If you’re still wonder about the list then here you go.

Hayward, California – Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock

Kingfisher, Oklahoma – Sam Walton

Kosciusko, Mississippi – Oprah Winfrey

Westmoreland County, Virginia – George Washington

None of the people on this list were born in places that stand out on a map, and this list could go on to include millions of people from around the world that you’ve never heard of.

My reason for pointing this out is to illustrate that while where you were born does play a large part in your life; it doesn’t have to limit you.

So embrace where you’re from as part of your history and then decide where you’re going in your future.
