Well first of all.  I don't need this printed in any magazine.  But for me.  When I'm down.  When Im tired and I don't want to go to work.  Maybe  my hand hurts.  Or I have no clients that day. Or my personal life is messed up.   I read an online review or testimonial that remindes me.. That even though I'm not doing well.  I can still  change someones life for the better.  Even though I can't often do that for myself.  It inspires me to read how I've helped someone else.  Every day when I wake up in the morning I read this testimonial.  Before this one I read another one.   If i only think about myself.. I would have quit a long time ago.

It can be really difficult to be inspired continuously!  Some days I'm inspired by the positive changes I facilitate in my clients.  Some days I'm inspired by learning something new (actually, that happens almost every day!).  Some days - the really hard ones - I'm inspired by remembering that I have an excellent reputation and I need to work as hard as I can to make every session the best it can be.  Probably the "worst" one, not sure how to put that, is that some days it comes down to the fact that people work hard for the money they pay me, and I need to dig deep and give them the best I've got.  Might as well be honest, right?

human beings are social beings. as bad of a day you are having (whether you are an LMT, CPA, or anything else), you forget all your sorrows when you realize that because of YOU, someone else is feeling better, smiling, has improved their life, has saved money that means a lot to them, etc. it's the human in us that compels us to genetically and inherently feel and react in a certain way
