Inspired By The People In My Life

I don’t know if you ever experience this but sometimes I find myself in awe of the people I know. Not because I’m friends with celebrities or the wealthy but because I know incredible people who are doing great things.

I’m friends with teachers, pastors and Special Olympics coaches.

I’m friends with people who are going to Oxford, or have their doctorate. I’m also friends with people who do not have a degree at all and yet they are touching peoples lives.

I’m friends with motivational speakers and artists, ministry leaders and ministry volunteers. I’m friends with musicians, photographers, writers and small business owners.

I’m friends with die hard conservatives and die hard liberals.

I’m friends with baristas and mechanics, receptionists and customer service representatives.

I’m friends with kids, youth and adults.

While all of these people vary in terms of their personal life experiences, what doesn’t vary is their desire to have an impact. They all want to make some sort of a difference.

Although most of these people will never get the sort of attention that is given to the celebrities and public figures we often look up to, I find each of these people to be incredibly inspiring.

So here’s to you friends, thank you for inspiring me.  For pushing me forward, motivating me to have a positive impact on the lives around me in the same way that you have impacted mine.

Each of you are amazing!

Cheers!
