Recognize inspiration

This Week’s Soul Challenge: RECOGNIZING INSPIRATION!

In honor of yesterday’s celebration of Mother’s Day (forgive my tardiness, I too was celebrating!), this week I challenge you to recognize and record by name those in your life who inspire you!

The word “inspiration” actually has two meanings, and both are critical for our well-being!  Inspiration is a process of being stimulated to do something wonderful, and creative, or to feel and know in a new or wonderfully elevated way.  Inspiration also means the drawing in of breath – or inhaling.  You can see why no matter which definition you choose; both are critical for us to thrive in our daily lives.

Life gets busy, and this week I hope you will accept this soul challenge to articulate the characteristics, actions, words, and names of those who help you draw BREATH and become more than you were before you encountered them!

This Week’s SOUL CHALLENGE:  RECOGNIZING INSPIRATION!

The Challenge:  Identifying the men and women in your life who inspire you!

Preparation: Get out your journal and breathe.  Simply Breathe at your rhythm and pace.  Remember…breathing is also inspiration!   

Step 1: Identify One Person Each Day Who Inspires You! Each day this week, pick a new person, someone you know personally, or someone famous, current or historical, and write about what specifically about them has inspired you in your life.   Get very specific about the characteristics or actions that this person embodied to make you believe in their greatness.

Step 2: State how you too are great and inspiring, based on your knowledge or relationship with that inspiring person.

Step 3: Journal about how you could take the inspiration you receive and apply it with even greater vigor in your daily life now. Think back in your life at the wonderful things you have created and see if you can spy the source of your inspired activities from the past.  Journal about how and where you might find new inspiration in your life now!  Think BIG and enjoy the week!

Until Next Time,

Live Well, Love Well, Lightwell the World
