You know who I am inspired by?

It’s not the celebrities that stand in the spotlight, yet do not notice the ones in the shadows. It’s not the wealthy, who seem to have it all but don’t notice that the most valuable things they have didn’t cost a single thing. It’s not the ones with huge social media followings but lack the courage to tell the world who they really are.

I’m most inspired by the ones at the gym at 6:30 in the morning, not telling a single person that they we’re going. By the lady in yoga, in her 80’s, refusing to let her age tell her to slow down. The man or woman that had their heart broken but chooses to love vulnerably again. The ones that stop for a conversation, even if their schedule has no flexibility at all. By the ones that do incredible things but don’t photograph it and don’t post about it on social media. In fact, the most interesting ones I’ve met never tell a single soul… They don’t need to. Im inspired by the ones that let their hearts burn for those around them, regardless of how much they get back in return. By those who love without expectation. The ones that give more than they have. The ones that listen more than they talk.

Those are the ones that get it. And the contentment that their actions bring foster enough fulfillment to never need the validation of others. For they know full well that when you give, you always get more in return than you could have ever expected.

For those that are out there, I see you. Thank you for the inspiration.
