I was inspired by a complete stranger this weekend. We were talking about our goals, and dreams. I told him about mine and he asked me “Why aren’t you living your goals right now?” I didn’t have an answer. Then he said “If you think that your dream is going to come knocking at your door to find you, you are wrong. You need to go out there and get what you want. Make it happen ! ” As obvious as that sounds, clearly I was not waiting for my goals, and dreams to come knocking. However, what he said in those 5 minutes I met him really inspired me, as I was left thinking. I am not actively doing anything with this end goal of mine. I am not doing as much as I can to get closer, especially knowing that I want this with all my heart.
Thank you for those words in that brief conversation. You ignited my spark to go out there, and make it happen. You will never know.
Has a stranger ever inspired you? How did it happen? What did they tell you to make you feel inspired?
