Living your Life as a Role Model

We have a single Mother in our community that has a passion for jogging.  This exercise lets her burn off the stress of being parent on her own for the most part.  And she also enjoys just being outside to enjoy the beauty of the outdoors.  She does this on a regular basis, but had to stop for about six months due to an injury. 

She was recently back to her jogging when she noticed that a police officer had stopped someone for a speeding ticket.  As she was going by, the police officer turned to her and told her to stop and wait for him.  As you can imagine, her heart skipped a few beats wondering what she did wrong.  The police officer walked over to her to let her know that he had seen her commitment to her jogging in all different types of weather for several years.  He was so inspired by this, that he decided to take up jogging as well.  He has now lost 70 lbs and is no longer a diabetic.  The police officer said that if he ever saw her again, he would let her know that she was his Role Model. 

Always remember to live your life in the best way possible.  You never know what an impact you can have on a complete stranger.

Laura, People are always watching us and formulating opinions. We are making impressions without even knowing it.

Laura, this is a wonderful story. It is true, people can be watching us and we're not even aware of it. All of us need to take a moment, pause, and think about what others see when looking at our lives.

Thank you for sharing this inspiring story. She would never know her impact had the officer not stopped her.

Yes, this is a great story.  I would have been nervous too and then let out a huge sigh of relief.

That's a really nice story.  We really don't have any idea of the impact we have on other people.
