What if you held the key to sparking someone's will to keep going, to pull themselves out of a dark place? This week, a seemingly ordinary gym encounter took an emotional turn, revealing a powerful insight into the trials of life we all face and the impact of a simple act of kindness. After an old acquaintance walked into my local gym, a look in his eyes told me something was wrong. Asking him twice how he was doing finally broke through the surface, revealing a heartbreaking story of loss, substance abuse, and a desperate fight in rehab.

This week's Motivational Monday takes a detour, challenging you to be the motivation someone else may desperately need. The power of a sincere "how are you really doing?" can't be overstated. We're all fighting our own battles, and sometimes, the simple act of asking, of truly caring, can ignite the spark someone else needs to keep going. As part of a healing community, we can make the tribulations of life bearable. Remember, no one is exempt from life's trials. Be a beacon of kindness today and ask someone, "how are you really doing?" because your concern could mean the world to them. It's time we shift the focus from seeking motivation to being the motivation.
