2014 Week 7: Inspire
Remember a few weeks past when I was in a bit of a funk? One of the things that helped pull me out of this funk was focusing on that which inspires me. I LOVE the word inspire; it’s actually one of my all time favorite words. If you were to ask me my life’s passion, that’s the answer I would give—to inspire! …....Ok, I would likely want to give a way longer answer than that, but if I had to narrow it down to two words, those would be the two.
Growth inspires me.
Leadership inspires me. Courage inspires me. People who
pursue their passions, speak their truth, live their calling—oh I get fired up
just thinking about it. See I believe
that we were put on this planet for a purpose.
I believe that we have each been given indelible gifts and talents that
are meant to serve each other and add light and love to this world. I believe in the undeniable power of an
individual’s unique brilliance. So
those days when I feel a little lethargic, status quo, and less than
enthused—those are the days when I need to reconnect with that which inspires
me.
What inspires you?
What gets your mind spinning, your hopes rekindled and dreams
reinvigorated? We have 45 more weeks to
pursue that which inspires in 2014. Let’s make
the most of it!

Poet/artist/singer/producer/actor Saul Williams inspires me: “That’s the fuel that I run off of, inspiration. “Inspire” comes from Latin: “spire” means to breathe, “inspire” means to breathe in…so inspiration is not some far-fetched thing to me. I’m inspired by being alive, by being in love.”
