I may be a little late to the show, but I just finished watching "Soul Surfer" with my 9 year old daughter and I was truly moved and inspired. Bethany Hamilton overcame a shark attack and lost her arm to become one of the greatest female pro surfers in the world. It makes me look back at my life on some of things I did not try hard enough, because it was too much trouble. Watching not only this movie, but other people who have over come obstacles and various challenges in life made me think what can we all do to help inspire others.
What if all of us looked in the mirror and thought of just one thing to overcome how would that make not only your life but those around you better. What you choose does not have to reflect on what you do for yourself, but how it can help others: like volunteering at an animal shelter, spending time with kids at Ronald McDonald House, helping a family through Habitat for Humanity. If we just took 4 hours during the week to help we can help so many people and in turn inspire others.
I realize we all work hard during the week and the weekend is family time, but just think about it. 4 hours out of 168 is not much to ask and you can even pick something the whole family can do together. So I ask you too ask yourself - how can you be inspirational to others.
