Writing Prompt #5

What motivates you?

Knowing that I have one life to life, and that the people around me are there for a purpose is what motivates me. I love getting the chance to impact people in everything that I do. Whether it be in Speech, fall play, the musical, at church, or just in school, I take every opportunity to impact people in all that I do by remaining positive, supportive, encouraging, and uplifting to the people around me. I do not know what people go through outside of the walls of this school building, so why not be the (possibly) only encouraging person they face today? Why not be the smile that they see going down the hallway. My positivity and joy is not faked for the sake of someone else feeling good, it is genuine joy. It comes out of my love for people.

Seeing the impact that is  left when I encourage people is amazing. I say so many stupid things (puns, jokes, and random comments), but that's who I am. Even though it's incredibly random, people usually get a laugh out of me being myself. If that's the kind of joy someone else needs to flow into their life, I'll always be willing to provide that!

The most courageous thing you can possibly do is leave a huge impact on someone's life with one act of random kindness.
