Daily Inspiration Starts With You
Daily inspiration comes from creating a habit of always looking at the magic in life. Rather than focusing our attention on the doom and gloom that the popular media promotes, we need to open our eyes to the wonder of the universe if we want to be inspired.Everywhere we look there are small and large miracles happening- every day. Part of finding daily inspiration is disciplining ourselves to pay attention to what is good and beautiful in our lives and our world- not just occasionally, but regularly. This is how we can find continuous inspiration. The thoughts that you allow to enter your mind when you wake up help to shape the rest of your day. If you normally greet the day with a groan, try thinking about something wonderful the moment you open your eyes. If you have trouble thinking of anything wonderful, how about the very fact of being alive? Every day, the sun rises, and with each sunrise, we are given the gift of a brand new day. The present moment truly is a present in every sense of the word. Daily inspiration comes from waking up every day and knowing that this day brings a fresh start. A start that builds on all the knowledge and understanding gained from the past. Today is a chance to live, love, laugh, and learn. A chance to embrace the opportunities, challenges, and even the obstacles that life may present. An opportunity to shine your light on those around you. From where you are, look around at those nearest to you, and ask yourself how you can be of service to those people. Joy is in giving of ourselves and our gifts. Today is not the first day of the rest of your life. Today is your life. Look around you- really look. This is your life. Soak it in. Really become aware of the beauty of your surroundings. Feel the breeze, hear the rain, look deeply at the stars. Gaze at a dragonfly hovering. Shadows lengthening. Shafts of sunlight through the clouds. Hear the leaves rustling. Notice the gnarled roots of big trees. Affection between family members. Stop to listen to birds singing. They sing- not because they are successful, wealthy, or admired. They sing because they are alive, and because they can. All these things can provide daily inspiration- if you allow yourself to be inspired. Being inspired is a choice. Choosing to pay attention to the things that lift you up, not drag you down. Choosing to see the wonder in everything around you. Choosing to grasp the gift of today with both hands, and to suck every bit of juice out of it. Bottom line is, daily inspiration starts with you, but there are many, many inspiring people and resources around to help you keep remembering what it is all about. Make inspiration a part of your daily routine, and notice a spring in your step and a light in your eyes.
