Day 37: Write a Post Praising Someone Who Inspires You—and Tag Them

The Idea:

Today’s challenge is to write a sincere public post—on social media or a blog—about someone who inspires you. Praise who they are, what they do, and how they’ve impacted your life or mindset. Then tag them (if appropriate) so they know.

⸻

Why It’s Good:

Public praise feels scary because it exposes your admiration. You risk vulnerability, awkwardness, or being ignored. But that’s what makes this act so powerful—it teaches you to celebrate others without fear, and to speak appreciation with confidence.

Your message could mean everything to the person you’re writing about. People rarely hear the full impact they’ve had on others. By writing it out loud, you become a bridge between gratitude and courage.

⸻

How to Do It:

1. Choose Someone Who Genuinely Inspires You: A mentor, a friend, a writer, an activist—anyone whose presence has shaped your growth.

2. Write Honestly and Specifically: Share a short story or example of what they did that mattered to you.

3. Post It Publicly with Their Tag (If You Can): Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, or wherever feels natural to you.

4. Leave It Up and Let It Land: Don’t delete it out of self-consciousness. Let your truth shine.
