What or Who Inspires You?

I had a bout with writer’s block lately.  I’d sit down at my computer, typing words then hit the delete button because it didn’t sound appealing.  But today, I saw an ad in the newspaper that got my wheels spinning.

The headline read... 

“What (or Who) Inspires You?”

Wow, what a brilliant question, don’t you think?  This is a question that we don’t really think to ask ourselves or ask often enough.  It sure did catch my eye and I immediately started to ponder my answers.

It could be:

*Family*Friends*A Colleague*Reading or Writing*A Prayer or Poem
*Music*Art*Traveling/Camping*Spending time outdoors*Fitness

What or Who could it be for you?  Grab a piece of paper and write all your answers down.  Ask yourself “What is it that they do that inspires me?   Then jot down next to each the reason or reasons. 

By examining the reasons (not can) but you will motivate yourself and move closer to achieving your goals and dreams.   Keep this paper with your goal and/or dream list so when the day comes, you may look back and acknowledge how you achieved them.

Oh and one last thing, it doesn’t cost much to Pay it forward…so go ahead, Inspire someone today
