I was walking my kids home from school when my 7 yr old son stopped me DEAD IN MY TRACKS….
He told me one of the kids in his class asked him what his Dad did. My son told them that my Dad has fun and trains for sprinting…but the kid pushed more and said…
“…no, what does your Dad do for a job…how come he has time to pick you up and help out around school?”
My son started beaming, so I asked him how he responded…he told me he said
“He gives people the life they want…they get to be really happy. They get to do things that are impossible. He helps them to be more awesome!”
This just blew me away….
My son had been watching…observing…learning…listening…deciphering…
He had been taking it all in.
This really made me stop and think. We really don’t know who is being touched, inspired and/or motivated by what we are doing…we don’t know who is sitting quietly in the background just absorbing it all. Just because they aren’t shouting from the mountain top doesn’t mean no one is listening…
What does this mean?
I’ll spell it out…
We should act like the world is always watching us. We need to show the best version of ourselves as often as we possible can…that version that pushes…strives…wants to make an impact on the world around us….NO HOLDING BACK!
It also made me want to reach out and thank those people that shaped me…that inspired me to keep pushing…that inspired me to be the best version of me.
My parents, my grandparents, my coach (Gary)…and an early mentor (Alasdair)…and more recently, my wife and kids.
I watched you…learned from you…and was motivated to not stop because of you…and to be honest…this is a never-ending phenomenon…
So, my conclusion…
PLAY THE BIG GAME…and PLAY IT YOUR WAY!
You never know who you might inspire to change the world…
