Inspiration and motivation - you are these things to people as they are to you

@GoldenRuleJG

Nice topic to reflect on, Golden. I feel one doesn't have to be someone famous, or the "influencer" type, someone doing something grand, or extravagant to inspire others or make a positive impact of some kind.

If we look closely, and take time to notice, we are surrounded by inspiring folks hehe, someone struggling with their health and yet managing the routine tasks by not giving up is inspiring, someone making promises and honoring them is inspiring, someone helping an elder cross the street is inspiring, someone not letting the "society" weigh them down and continuing to do what they want to do, being the way they do is inspiring, someone taking out time to support others is inspiring, someone assuring others they aren't alone and actually meaning it is inspiring, someone drawing inspiration from the simple things in life to create art is inspiring, someone pursuing their dreams is inspiring, someone expressing love to others is inspiring, someone trying their best and showing up despite the odds is inspiring and I can honestly go on haha! I think the acts of kindness however, are the ones that inspire me the most.❤

I do hope I can impact others coming across me in a positive way too.🙈

Hi Gold,

I am so glad i came across your post today.

Inspiration and gratitude keeps you going. Both are positive qualities and everyone should make an effort to cultivate it.

I get inspired a lot. Perhaps i'm always looking out for optimism as deep down i'm struggling.

I recently got inspired to write, sing and read books.

As Sun mentioned i am also greatly inspired by acts of kindness, thoughtfulness and positive affirmations.

Nevertheless, great post. I seriously needed this today.

Sending love and hugs your way <3

What a thought provoking question 🥰

I find seeing someone live authentically the most inspiring thing. To watch someone be completely themselves especially when it goes against societies norms is so powerful! It doens't matter to me what there 'thing' is just seeing how much joy it brings them makes me feel more confident to try and do the same.

@goldenrulejg not so much a reflection on myself, but here is an inspiration i want to share

@fuzzylemon, loved your post! This one is for you:

Saw an old man in a wheelchair this morning. He was wearing a racing helmet and biking gloves. Gave himself a huge push, lifted his legs, and coasted down the hill and around the corner with such glee!!! Absolutely made my day.

That old dude was just being true to his own self, doing what made him happy. I have no clue who he is, so he will probably never know how he lifted my spirits, and hopefully impacted even more people through this post.

Hope your day goes equally well 🥰

Also tagging @sunisshiningandsoareyou because her whole name is about lifting others up!
