Someone told me I was inspiring. It blew my mind. I didn’t know what to do. I was so taken by the compliment. ME!!
Some days I get by fairly gracefully, or as gracefully as someone falling, tripping and fainting her way through all this illness can. Other days I am a bumbling, angry, screaming mess not capable of much of anything other than breathing.
But as this wonderful lady who told me that I am inspiring said, sometimes just breathing through the tough times is enough. And the fact that I don’t always make it sound like nothing and just barely squeak by sometimes is what it is about me that inspires her.
So I’m writing this for all of you who inspire me.
The medical definition of the word inspire means to draw in by breathing, or to breathe in. I don’t know all of your struggles, but I know that if you are reading this you’ve faced them down and are still breathing. That alone is inspiring.
You all motivate me to know that I can get through my own struggles and come out a winner. In other words, you make my breathing easier, and isn’t that what inspiration means?
Please know that when I say that you are inspiring I’m telling you that you motivate me to keep pushing through all of the pain and hard times, to keep breathing.
So when someone tells you that you are inspiring smile, breathe it in, and say thanks. Glow more every time someone tells you that you’re inspiring so that everyone wonders who you are.
Smile. Breathe. Glow. Then inspire everyone you can to inspire someone else. Get the whole world breathing along with you. Stay inspired and tell me who inspires you.
