Are You Inspired?

Without thinking about it for too long-what is the first thing that pops into your mind when you wake up in the morning? It is; oh no! or Oh Yes! And don’t try to tell yourself that it is neither because that just isn’t so. All your thoughts whether they are thoughts of getting them family off for the day, getting yourself together or whatever, have their root in a feeling of oh no or oh yes.

If the answer is oh yes, that’s great, you are either achieving your goals or well on your way. So obviously if the answer is no then some adjustments need to be made. What adjustments? That totally depends on you.

You can start, today, to change any aspect of your life that is less than fulfilling. No matter where you are or what you do, you can find something that brings you joy; in your work, in your hobbies, in your home, it really does not matter as long as it is something that you love doing, being or having. And that feeling of joy will carry over into the parts of your life that you are less than inspired by. Someone told me once that life is like a sandwich; if you eat the crust first then all that is left is the best tasting part of the sandwich. How does that relate to being inspired? When you know that you have that thing that you love then you can joyfully take care of the less appealing responsibilities of your life and that just the thought of your source of happiness (the center of the sandwich) begins to permeate your life because you know you have it so you will wake up and say YES!
