If you're anything like me, it's easy for you to very much criticize yourself and question yourself regarding who you are, what you do and the impact that you've made, because I think we just tend to be, our own worst critics.
I was driving down the road today. I was on my way to an appointment, and I started thinking about impact and people that I've had the opportunity to impact in the course of my life through different things like friendship, coaching, leading and speaking.
I am highly critical of myself. I question myself massively. I strongly antagonize myself, but sometimes I have to remember that I really have made an impact and that I have helped a lot of people.
I have helped thousands. Thousands of people lose weight. I have helped thousands of people build thriving coaching businesses. I am starting the process of building this reinvention coaching program, where I'm in the helping people with mindset, start things over and redefining what they want most in their lives. I'm involved in a lot of things.
I love reminiscing on some of the incredible success stories I've amassed over the years.
Stories of people I've helped with losing weight that couldn't fit on roller coasters, and now they can. People who were in wheelchairs at 70 plus years old, and now they no longer are. People that worked at jobs that took them away from their kids and now they get to stay home and be present. People that had no confidence and now they do. People that felt that they were going through the motions and now they're not. People that didn't know how they were gonna make ends meet, and now they do.
I've been able to give generously. I've been able to help people in lines at Walmart. I've been able to do a lot of things to help a lot of people. And I fully intend on doing that more and more and more and more as I venture out.
I can still picture the eyes of people, with tears in them when I share stories or when I talk, or when I've shared places of pain that I've been through and come out on the other side of, and it really keeps me going.
If you are questioning your impact today, think back. You'll begin to remember people who you've positively impacted this week, this month and this year. Smiling at someone, showing someone you care, just saying a kind word. These are all easy ways to positively impact other humans.
I am someone that is very, very energized by helping someone, making someone smile, making someone think that they can make it, making somebody believe for another day, giving somebody something to hope in. It's fuel. It just keeps me going. And so because of that, I'm going to be doing this in some form, forever.
