A few days ago on Fitness Collaborative, I shared where I find my inspiration. YOU are my inspiration. On that same note, I want to share that YOU could be someone else’s inspiration and motivation to live a healthy and active life!
Imagine the possibilities!! 🙂
So often, we I find myself in awe at many of the amazing fitness bloggers in the fitness community. They inspire and motivate me. Yet, I fail to think locally at the people in my own neighborhood who motivate and inspire me.
I received this fantastic comment a few weeks ago, from a new friend who lives a few blocks away from me. I did not know that she followed me on twitter or read my blog. She did not know that the crazy woman runner pushing a double jogger each morning was in fact me, @RunningRachel on twitter.
Small world, eh?
The main point I want to get across to you today is that you never know who is watching you. YOU could be (and chances ARE already) inspiring and motivating someone you know to live a healthy and active life! Your choices could snowball to help another decide to go for a walk, run, bike ride, or just put down the cookies.
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
– Lao Tse
What are you waiting for? Take the first step towards a healthy and active lifestyle. Inspiration and motivation is everywhere! You never know who YOU could be inspiring next.

Great post, Rachel! I think that’s so neat she realized you lived right by her and could send you some praise! Sometimes the simple inspiration people can be via twitter is so, so neat to me!

so true to you never know who you’re influencing and not even know it. People see us all over the place, without us knowing…
it’s always a trip to hear from someone that you motivated without even realizing you did it 🙂

So funny! One of my twitter running inspirations is a woman who I found out lives a mile from me and often runs near my neighborhood. Small world is right!
