“Everybody we encounter is really a mirror – a reflection of a part of who we are. And within each of us is a teacher – someone who inspires, listens and reflects.” – Oprah

One morning, I felt a particular appreciation for the motivators in our lives – my Pilates instructor as she guided me through movements to strengthen and balance my body, a friend who as a professional coach helps clients make positive changes, and the teacher who motivated my niece to go to college and become a teacher so she can inspire other students.

Inspiration is my passion – it’s why I created this blog. So, it didn’t surprise me to see the title of that day’s meditation with Oprah and Deepak was “Inspirational Me.” Oprah said, “Each of us has that power to inspire one another.  Within all of us lies a wonderful teacher … Embrace that inner teacher and know you have something very valuable to offer everyone around you.”

That’s the beauty of inspiration – you don’t have to be an instructor, coach or teacher to inspire others.  Each one of us has a unique gift to share.  We have the opportunity to connect with people, encourage them, lift their spirits, and experience the power of inspiration as we watch it unfold.
