Have you ever wondered if you are making a difference in your life? What about being an inspiration for someone else as you go about your daily activities? I was at the gym today working on my personal goal of running on the treadmill and building up my endurance. I wasn't really aware of the person next to me, my only focus was on trying to reach that milestone in my fitness training. As I finished and started to cool down by walking, the woman next to me began to ask if I was some sort of major athlete and how long I'd been running like I was. We talked for awhile and I mentioned some of my fitness goals and what I had been doing to work up to my current level in addition to some of my other physical activities that I engage in. She mentioned that she was inspired by me and that she never expected to see someone doing what I was doing (although for me it was nothing special). However she was encouraged and motivated to press on to reach her personal best and improve her fitness level.
Lets face it, people are watching us as we go about our daily activities. If you are truly interested in making a difference, then it is up to you to always do your best to be a positive force on those who are around you and watching even though you may not notice them. Take the time to inspire someone with a kind word of encouragement or a random act of kindness. Be creative and think outside the box and just know that others are watching you, every single day. You have the power to inspire. Are you doing that?
What do you think?
Let me know.
