The Gift of David
Was chatting on Facebook with my friend David this morning. We were talking about bicycling and health. I met David several years ago; he was seated in an audience.
Out of nowhere David made a comment about my “gift” to inspire.
Now for those of you, like me, who are not good about taking compliments you know that uneasy awkward feeling. Your body contorts. Your face goes flush. You start to wiggle and squirm. So as the body is wiggling I am thrilled that a computer screen, modem and the technological magic that my words are going through the sky and reaching David exists between us.
But it got me thinking…………………
I don’t inspire people. I don’t motivate people. It is not a gift. I believe that everyone is motivated. I believe that everyone is inspirable (I know, not a word; who cares.) My job is NOT to motivate or inspire you. My job is to offer you fresh ideas and new thoughts (even some crazy ones ) which get you to listen, think, process and then ask yourself how does that apply to me?
So let me ask you? Who inspires/motivates you? Who get’s you thinking? A friend? Loved one? Boss? Co-worker? The person you sleep with? A stranger? A stranger you’ve slept with? Who?
Get in touch with them today and let them know…………even if you need to leave the technology wall between you.
Thanks David!
