Amanda - Inspire NZ

Amanda.
One thing that really stood out for me with Amanda was that she said this; "I haven't done much with my life." How extraordinarily incorrect! I had just listened to all the amazing things she has done, all the people's lives that she has touched through her involvement with Canteen, and the friends and families of her friends that have passed, and I just cant believe that she hasn't done much.
I think, sometimes we undervalue the enormity of our own love and kindness towards others. Amanda has the ability to light up peoples worlds - I see it on a daily basis in our office. She exudes positive and happy chatter and fun. That, well and truly, makes a difference to everyone around her. I don't know why a lot of the time we seem to notice the way other people make the difference to a glum day but yet we cannot see our own actions that lighten up peoples worlds. And that needs to change. Starting with you Amanda! You are amazing, inspiring and the reason I started this. Believe in yourself, trust yourself and realize that we are all rooting for you!
One thing that you, the reader, can do is this:
1. Look at your reflection.
2. Tell yourself (out loud) "I'm amazing"
3. Plan an act of kindness towards another and RECOGNIZE the difference that that will make in their day.
Thank you for sharing your story Amanda.
