[Viva] inspiration

[Denise Wozniak]

I have put a quote below that I found that describes our event this week.
We shared, we listened, we spoke, we respected, we shared. I was inspired
by all of you.

In alphabetical order: Anne, Kath, Margarite, Shafiyha, Sheila, Val.. you
inspired me this week.

This quote is one I found in The Huffington Post by Dr. R. Kay Green.



When we think about inspiration, what inspires us most are ordinary people
who have done extraordinary things. We appreciate when someone has the
ability and willingness to be selfless, creative, innovative, or just dares
to be different. Mother Teresa. Gandhi. Martin Luther King, Jr. All of them
were ordinary people who decided that the world needed their help -- true
leaders who believed that they could change the world and who, despite
nearly impossible odds and tremendous opposition, weren't afraid to try.


What it means is that too many of us fail to see the greatness within
ourselves. Too many of us assume that a person is only great if he/she
makes national headlines. But press isn't necessary. In fact, sometimes the
most inspiring people in the world go completely unnoticed. What inspires
are the people who do something to better humanity in their own small
corner of the world. They don't need headlines or accolades. They need only
to know that they stepped up to make things better.

Understand that you can be an inspiration to others, no matter what you
feel you have or have not achieved. Even if you feel that you have not yet
reached the endpoint, and even if you feel like you have reached a low
point, you have the ability to inspire.
