The Word Of the Week is...INSPIRE

Two note cards inspire me every day.

One is a small card I keep near my computer that defines the word inspire this way:

To affect, guide, or arouse by divine influence.

To fill with enlivening or exalting emotion.

To stimulate to action, motivate; to affect or touch.

Then there’s the Steve Jobs quote in my medicine closet that I read every single morning when I reach for my toothbrush: “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I’m about to do today?”

I pause to make sure my answer is Yes! before I start my day.

Both cards remind me not to get caught up in petty gossip or grudges or complaints. I’m here to complete a sacred mission.

So are you.

To be inspired is to be in spirit, to be one with. It comes from the Latin word inspirare, to blow into, to breathe life into.

Today, breathe some life into your life. Be inspired to live a life from your spirit.

Question to ask myself:

What is my heroic mission on Earth today?

Affirmation to repeat:

Today I will make something possible.

Action to take:

Find a vacant lot or field and stand under the stars and scream your holy Yes! to the Universe so loudly that the stars hear you.
