We all have heroes. Today, we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. and there are many other days throughout the year that we celebrate amazing men and women who followed their visions, passions and beliefs. Some saw those visions come to fruition, and others were the catalyst to change that lead to their ultimate legacy.
Now, I do admire many well-known men and women, but for me, most of my heroes are ordinary, everyday people. One of my heroes is a woman whom I have never met, nor do I know her name, but I will never forget the example she set for me.
The summer before my senior year of high school, I would frequent a small gym with my cousin. Often when we would go, there was another woman there who would be lifting weights while we would stick to the cardio machines. I remember being so impressed with her. You see, she was probably in her late 70s or early 80s, and she was lifting well beyond most of the other women there. It was, and still is, such an inspiration to me. She was STRONG and that was so beautiful to me. I wish now that I had introduced myself to her, because I am sure I could have learned a lot from her.
Level 10 Day is all about making the most of each day you are given, and using your gifts to the best of your ability. That woman in the gym was doing just that. She'll never know the impact it had on me to see her example. YOU may never know the impact you have in your daily actions, but trust me someone is watching and taking note.
Be that example. Make it a Level 10 Day!
