From the very very beginning, you inspired me. It’s hard to explain the massive influx of emotions I felt way back at the start – when I first found you.
Everything you did was inspirational. I know, it sounds crazy – but hear me out. You knew how to do everything… you were handy, creative, but most of all, positive. You were a testimony of faith, you were a humble servant to others. And yet everything you did, as trivial as it was to you, inspired me.
Your laugh. Your voice. Your mannerisms… the crazy things you did that were so odd I found myself packing in the back of my brain. I’d bring out those mannerisms as memories and smile. I’d find myself crying shortly after.. just because the memories are so vivid it stirs up emotion of longing and sadness because there’s nowhere I’d rather be than next to you.
Knowing you made me want to be a better person. Watching your feed made me want to do more, learn more, create things. It was even more so in person – your energy is (to me) off the charters.
How does someone have so much energetic power and inspirational force behind themselves? How does someone have such a huge effect on someone – even in the times of silence and distance, just YOU being YOU inspires me.
To even describe that is overwhelming – because no person or thing has ever had that effect on me. Perhaps that’s what keeps me so focused on you, all this time later.
Imagine…
Someone who inspires you every day to be the best version of yourself.
To be better. To do more with your life. To be creative, perhaps even passionate. Imagine someone who teaches you about life by merely living their own life – without trepidation.
The person who inspires you will always continue to spark self motivation within you. You’ll want to be better, do better, life better, appreciate things you wouldn’t have thought much of before their presence.
Most importantly, the person who inspires you will do so without even knowing or trying to inspire others – they’ll inspire just by being themselves.
What happens when you settle for less?
Certainly, you can meet up with someone who doesn’t fuel your inspiration – but you’ll eventually discover that there’s something missing. Inspiration fuels happiness – if people fail to inspire you, they leave you uninspired.
You won’t have anything to aspire to.
Inspiration is the fuel that allows us to grow and expound in ways that make us feel blessed to be alive. People that fail to inspire us restrict the opportunity for better experiences, opportunities, personal growth. Inspiration is what fuels that personal growth – a lack of inspiration fuels stagnation.
You may not always realize the effect you have on those around you until far down the road. You certainly don’t inspire others when you are perfect – you inspire others by how you deal with your imperfections. You have let your actions and character speak for themselves – it’s those two things that led me to you at the very beginning and transformed my feelings to what I feel now.
Nothing, and nobody will ever make me feel the way I feel about you.
