However, there is a plethora of lesser-known folks who are just as inspiring (if not more so) to me: Elizabethe Vicke, and my fantastic partner John Reel (although he’s certainly famous in some online spheres). Perhaps being an inspirational speaker is simply akin to being alive and living? A person can be inspiring in simple and thoughtful ways that may or may not make an international splash, but will certainly leave positive effects of their endeavors.

Perhaps I’m thinking about this too much… perhaps I simply need to get out there more, and start living my life more, rather than thinking of accomplishing x, y, z in the future? Rather than having the goal of becoming an inspirational speaker, I need to affirm to myself that I already am one! That which I desire is mine already, and as such, what am I really aspiring to be, other than a person living their life?
