We all know people who are inspiring. Just how does one inspire others? Here are ten simple things you can do every day to inspire people to be their best:

1. Set the Example: People watch what you do more than they listen to what you say.

2. Care About Others: People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care.

3. Encouragement: Everybody goes through rough times. When you support and encourage other people through those times, you'll be inspiring them to see the best in themselves.

4. Be Inspired Yourself: Look for people, ideas, environments and knowledge that you find inspiring and motivating.

5. Share Your Experiences: You have more to share than you realize. You may be the only one who can touch someone with your inspiring message.

6. Be Vulnerable: Be willing to share your failures as well as your successes. Others will be able to relate to you.

7. Tell Stories: Facts tell and stories sell. They inspire, too. We learn best from parables and we all need to develop our own inspiring stories.

8. Be a Good Communicator: Increasing your ability to communicate effectively is a critical element for you to inspire others.

9. Challenge People: Many of us have had teacher who at times, seemed more like tormentors than mentors. They challenged us to do our best and we were better for it.

10. Read: Stay informed and share what you read with others. Tell people about books that inspired you and share the knowledge.
