Share a story about someone who had a positive impact on your life.

The people who had the biggest impact on my life?

Not the rich ones.
Not the famous ones.
Not the loudest in the room.

It was the quiet people.

My grandfather, teaching me that being a good man had nothing to do with muscles or money and everything to do with kindness, honesty, and turning up when it mattered.

My wife, who’s stood beside me through storms I wouldn’t have survived alone.

My children and grandchildren, who unknowingly taught me that love is measured in presence, not presents.

And strangely enough… a handful of poets on a screen late at night, showing me that words didn’t have to be polished to be powerful. That broken things could still speak. 

Funny really.

Most people who shape us never realise they’re doing it.

Stay safe,
