A few years ago I made national news when I made a donation to pay off a county’s past due school lunch balances.
More amazingly (that’s a word, right?), little did I know that decision would continue inspiring people years down the road.One of those messages of inspiration came last night, ironically, less than one hour after I posted about how you, as one person, can change the world by inspiring others.
Then I received this text message and pics.
“I just want to tell you. You are someone I look up to and have been inspired by.
Ever since I saw what you did years ago with the school lunches (not to mention everything you have helped [my business with] over the years.
Here are some pictures that you can be proud of, simply because of your leadership and willingness to help others…”
I don’t know that I’ll ever get over this type of impact. Part of me simplifies my daily avatar to being just a guy in an office chair. A dad and a husband that cares.
I just want others to win and be happy.
It’s a blessing to bless others.
Keep changing the world, my friends.
