You're inspiring someone just by being you.

I stumbled on a few posts this week, where people were a bit down, wondering what impact they have had in their life, or a bit down because they have not reached their goals.
It's too easy to give yourself big loud goals, compare ourselves with people who are very visible online or in the media, and feeling a bit crap because we haven't created a charity yet or this or that.
Not all impact is loud. Not all impact is shared.
That doesn't mean it's not happening.
So tonight, I'd love to raise my glass (well cup, I tend to drink warm drinks only...) to YOU. You're being your gorgeous self Maybe you are strong and inspiring, maybe you showing up raw and vulnerable is inspiring. maybe you studying something new at 50years old is inspiring. Or taking that kid in your home as if they are yours.
What we consider "normal" is not always normal for everyone. The words you say, the actions you take... Just because they seem small to you, doesn't mean they aren't without value. So, please, join me and celebrate yourself a little tonight. and tomorrow. and the day after. Because you can never know the impact you have, and how people you have impacted are impacting people... The ripples can go far...
