I’m the one truly inspired today!

 

I was teaching BARRE today at Inlet Fitness South, and I was truly touched and inspired.  This really had an effect on me and my day, so I thought to share this with all of you.

Today, as I was wrapping up Barre, and we were all gathering our things, I noticed a relatively new member to our INLET FITNESS FAMILY hanging back a bit as we were all leaving.  I slowed down a bit and asked her if she enjoyed the class and if she had a great workout.

Her reply:

“I had a great workout.  I so enjoy all of your classes”.  We continued connecting and she told me that she just moved to Virginia Beach and was having a difficult time with the transition of the move.  She said she was having a difficult time finding friends and getting in the flow of a new area.

She continued to tell me that she had been feeling low and down, and that she had not been too motivated to leave the house.

Her gift to me today was that she continued to say, “With the daunting task of relocating here, I have not been motivated to leave the house. I have been rather depressed.  Since discovering Inlet and your classes, I look forward everyday to your classes, your classes get me out of the house.  I come to all of your classes daily and I look forward to taking them.”

We don’t always realize the impact we have, we don’t always know the others story, or how we touch others.

This has inspired me to slow down, take notice, be compassionate, do my absolute best in everything I do that has the potential of touching others and to be a positive, humble, and helpful being.

Be the best you can be.  Shine your light.  Shine onto others and stoke the fires in those that might need some kindling.

We all need each other.

In health and happiness,
