Today I want to appreciate the people in our lives who inspire us. They can be friends or family who offer kind words or advice. They can be someone you look up to who you never interact with but who you draw strength and encouragement from the way they go about their lives. They’re the people who get you to keep going when times get tough. People who make you want to be the best version of yourself that you can be and push yourself beyond your comfort zone.

As you go about your day today remember that the best way that you can repay the inspiration that someone else provided you is to pay it forward and offer a kind word to someone else. It doesn’t cost anything to encourage someone, and the smallest things can resonate with them.
