Today I was inspired in class by an 78 year old man joining the gym “before his body gave up” – his words not mine.
I inspired and helped a young overweight girl who gets bullied for her weight, by helping her set small and achievable goals.
I overheard an amazingly flexible yogi telling someone how great she thinks I am while all the while I watch her in my classes in complete awe and admiration as she inspires me to push myself further.
At the end of the class I went up to my 78year old smiling participant and congratulated him on doing so well, and thanked him for smiling throughout the entire class.
He thanked me for teaching him that the mind is more powerful than the body, and he now feels more determined than ever to keep practicing and moving.
What a truly amazing man!
Earlier in the week, my friend took on a new client; a 93 year old lady who wants to keep active!
She inspired my friend greatly and without even meeting her, she has already inspired me.
You are never too old to be an inspiration to others!
A breathing and meditation coach explained to me at the end of class that my explanations of the breath and meditation were beautiful and told me I had a gift.
Today I really believe that I do, I believe my gift was given to me the second I started following my heart, the minute I started doing what I love.
The moment I thought less about myself and more about others.
That gift keeps giving to me each and every time I help someone to achieve a little more, to find a little calmness, a little more happiness and self-empowerment.
True inspiration is found, when you realize that you are never too young or too old to learn from others, that you should always be the best person you can be as you never know who you are inspiring.
