All have heard, “If you don’t have nothing nice to say don’t say anything at all!” I fully stand by this saying, “There is so much negativity in the world you don’t need to add to it. Be different. SPEAK LIFE! Encourage someone, inspire someone, uplift someone you could change the world one person at a time.”
Have you ever told someone “Good morning,” and their whole demeanor changes? If you haven’t tried it, say “Good morning sir or ma’am. Have a wonderful day.” Then as you walk away take a peak over your shoulder and see their whole life change. Smile. It truly is contagious.
Encourage positivity. Be that little push. Someone needs to step out and become “amazing.” I know you know what to say because it might be the same thing you want to hear.
“You can do it!” “If anyone can do it I know it had to be you!” So small but can make a HUGE impact!
A quote Toyota made during the Olympics was, “You don’t need to be amazing to start, but you need to start to be AMAZING!”
Your life is an inspiration to someone. Trust me. Someone is watching you taking the steps you are. Make the right steps. “Be the change you want to see in the world.” Ghandi. It starts and ends with YOU!
If you can do or be anything in the world what would you be doing? What would you be? I l heard a question asked on KLOVE Radio, “If all your prayers got answered right now, would it change the world or change your world?”
We all need to practice selflessness. What we set out to do should impact the world not just our family. I believe to inspire, you must first be inspired. Find that “one” who’s shoes you wouldn’t mind trying on and be inspired.
To SPEAK LIFE, you must have life spoken to you. You are AMAZING, SPECIAL, WORTH IT, PRICELESS and you make a difference in this place we call Earth. Dare to step out and be “You” awesome! God Bless you!
