Norway, June 25th, 2008
In an email just the other day, I told my Mother that this experience was all for naught because I had set out to inspire kids with my dream of going to the Olympics and giving it all and having faith throughout and I had not succeeded. Now, my journey was the opposite of inspiring because I had failed to get to the Olympics yet I had given up everything! From her place of perspective, she told me that I had inspired her to live "large" (an inside family joke) and to be the cause of her life and she attributed her current contentment to the example I had been living in my life! Was it possible that I had failed yet succeeded? Had I inspired someone by accident? I wonder if that is how it usually happens…when you're not trying so hard! Thanks Mom for your poignant words and for being the example of what's possible!

"Have you inspired someone by accident"? You may never know the extent of your impact. I don't believe it's an accident. Continue to find joy in giving your absolute best and have faith that the universe will unfold as it should.
