Mindful Monday: Aspire to Inspire

Thought:

To be inspired is great but, to inspire is an honor

Stacy T. Hunt

We all have people in our lives that inspire us. They show us the power of perseverance, how to rally with resilience and highlights the characteristics of a champion. They are the people that we desire to emulate; we want to be like them and have their impact on the world. I wonder if we realize how many people feel the same way about us? They admire our perseverance, our resilience, and our contribution to the world around us.

Take a moment and reflect: How can we continue to “aspire to inspire”?

Tip:

Being an inspiration is hard work; we are not perfect creatures and sometimes, the weight of ‘getting it right’ can feel daunting. But, remember, people are drawn to our ability to manage the hard days as much as they are to our triumphs. It is not perfection that inspires people. It is persistence.

Thank you, @wholeheartedschoolcounseling for this reminder!

Thanks:

Take a minute and be mindful about those who inspire you. What do they inspire you to do? What accomplishments have you achieved due to their awe-inspiring words or actions? Find space to show gratitude for them today. Know that, just as you are thankful for them, someone out there is grateful for you.
