“May the space between where I am and where I want to be inspire me.” ~ Tracee Ellis Ross
Anything can inspire us. Art, music, words, actions, stories, food. It is everywhere and in every thing. We inspire and are inspired. Everything we do, everything we say, can be a light for someone else. We are often unaware of our impact, the power we have to shape and influence the paths of others. We don’t always see the connections between the dots, how our paths intertwine and connect. Sometimes we miss the dots altogether. What we can be sure of is that we matter. That others, all others, matter, in the deepest and most wonderful ways. Nothing is inconsequential. Every situation and every person in our lives, no matter the size of their role in our days, is here for a reason. To inspire, to teach, to learn, to help us evolve into the very best person we can be. In that way, we always have someone and something to be grateful for. We always have a reason for giving thanks, and that reason is inspiration.
