The Mindful Minute by Jon Heydenreich: It is bigger than you and me
Jon Heydenreich, a professional athlete, shares his thoughts on what inspires him.
“Well, it is not really about me. It is bigger than me.”
He draws motivation from his personal life, including his sister who lives in a wheelchair after an accident and his young nephew fighting cancer.
“What would they think if I quit, did not put out full effort? My sister would give anything to walk. How can I quit when I have the abilities I have? How can I stop when my nephew fights cancer. It is bigger than me.”
He emphasizes that someone is always watching, whether it's a neighbor, family member, or colleague, and that our actions can have a lasting impact.
- A neighbor who sees us walking the road
- The person who knows what we did with that bag of groceries
- The people around the table at Thanksgiving
- Someone who comes to our business or someone we never met
Our actions can be remembered years from now, making it essential to consider the impact we have on others.
