One of the best feelings in the world is when someone tells you how you've inspired them. And as I go through my fitness journey and share my experiences, I often don't realize the impact I'm making. Here are a couple of awesome examples:
I received a wonderful FACEBOOK email from a friend I haven't seen in several years. I had no idea she was reading my blog. Here is some of what she said:
"I just wanted to let you know that something you wrote a few weeks ago, hit me and has stuck w/ me. You said in one of your posts, Cara knows what's best for Cara. I just wanted you to know it resonated w/ me because I have 3 boys now and it's a big job, but I kept repeating that phrase, except using my name and it has helped me make certain choices that I know are what is best for me. Mostly just simple everyday things, but the things that make the difference between being rushed w/ no time for myself or deciding if I am taken care of. It makes it a ton easier to take care of and give love to the ones you love. So, thanks - the simple phrase has and will become insightful to my growth on a daily basis."
Who knew such a selfish statement like 'Cara knows what's best for Cara' would affect someone else? I was moved to say the least.
We often get messages just when we need them. And I am happy to know I was the "source" of one of those messages yesterday. One of my tweets (Follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/CaraFullerton) simply said: "No excuses! Get to the gym!" Later, I received this text message from a friend and follower:
"I was just debating whether to skip the gym tonite and then I just read ur Twitter post... No excuses! Get to the gym! Ok ok I'm going.... Lol thank you!! :)"
Feedback like that inspires me, motivates me ... and moves me. Keep it coming! L.O.V.E.!
