Inspiration

     
  After a speech one day, Zig Ziglar was approached by someone in the audience who said: "Zig, it was a great speech, but...motivation just doesn't last."
Zig said, "Bathing doesn't either. That's why I recommend it daily!"
      Where do you get your inspiration?  Church on Sunday morning, attending a motivational seminar once a year, watching "greatest moments in sports weekly.  If that is the case it just is not enough.  I hope you read these weekly articles I write and are inspired by them but you need to feed yourself inspiration daily at a minimum and I recommend that you do not get it from just one source but multiple sources.  See it as a work out for the soul!
Here are a few sources of inspiration:
Music:  if Josh Groban's You Lift Me Up" does not inspire you well..............you are likely beyond inspiration  LOL
Books: ever read anything by Andy Andrews?
Social Media: yes it can be a downer but I find amazingly inspirational stories on there daily.  Click on the top splash for one of them.
People:  take the time to find our their stories and you will often be inspired in the process.
Prayer
when you pray for others, God listens to you and blesses them and sometimes when you are safe and happy remember that someone has prayed for you
This list is endless and you find inspiration in the most unlikely places and people.  But you have to look a bit for it as it will not always come to you on its own.
     You want to be really great at what you do?  Feed your soul a healthy helping of inspiration DAILY without fail!! It will help!

"Inspiringly" yours,
dan
