I met Kumar (middle) in one of my runs. He approached and asked for a photo with me.
He said he follows me on Instagram and is encouraged by my consistency in running.
He told me that my posts inspired him to also run at least weekly, and since then he started to feel better about himself (not only in running).
Why am I sharing this?
Well, I’m just an ordinary runner. I’m not in tip-top shape. And I don’t have much following in that new Instagram account (@runboydubairun). I also told Kumar that I’m just as new in the sport as he is.
But, the consistent posting about my journey has inspired at least one person.
I once doubted myself whether I can really add value through my blogs. Until I learned not to be distracted by numbers. I always say, one positively influenced mindset is already a big reward.
So if you’re thinking about starting a blog, a channel, or any online platform, believe that we all have meaningful stories to tell – stories that may impact people in various ways. Share it away with the intention to encourage.
You have no idea how much your story could influence others.
