Who inspires you to be better than you are? Is it a grandparent? A parent? A sibling? A spouse? A daughter? A son? We all need someone to push us to be better than we think we are? We need someone who sees the talents in us that we don't see ourselves.
For me that has been my wife of 42 years. Whenever I don't think I can do something, she is there to push me beyond the barriers of my thinking. Whether it starting a new job that I doubted if I could be successful or getting me to do something I think is impossible. She often sees what I cannot see.
Do you seek to find the good in others? Do you seek to push them to do more then they think possible? We have all been put on this earth to help others — to inspire them. To help them become more than they are. By helping others achieve their dreams, we achieve our own. By inspiring others, we inspire ourselves. What we give out is what we receive back.
A little girl lived up in the mountains with her parents. One day she became upset at her mother and ran out of the house. She came to the edge of a cliff, and in her anger, she yelled at the top of lungs: "I hate you. I hate you."
Her own words came echoing back to her: "I hate you. I hate you." Scared, the little girl ran back into the house and told her mother that someone hated her. The mother realized what had happened and told her daughter to go back out and shout, "I love you."
Although the little girl was afraid, she tiptoed back to the edge of the cliff and shouted: "I love you. I love you." Echoing back came the words: "I love you. I love you."
What we send out is what we receive back. Do you look for the good in others? Do you seek to inspire them?
