Inspiration 101
Have you ever wanted to be an inspiration? Not just a MUSE, but an agent of CHANGE?
To offer new areas of insight with a dynamic ability to move people, strangers, friends, family, colleagues to action? To engage them to step out of their comfort zone, or discomfort zone & let them know what they thought was impossible is possible?
What they thought was impossible is possible?
I used to believe I was too shy to assert myself. I was too scared to speak from my heart. At some point I became grateful for all the wonders that have occurred in my life, & maybe my being grateful & appreciating what I have, to love myself without conditions or an aura of conceit, that I was moved by a strong desire to inspire others. To create & keep ‘IT’ alive.
I can see how each & every one of us can change.
How we are not trapped, but free to change our lives, our world, & serve those around us. How we can step away from habits, fears, & doubts & go for what we want. I am here to say, again & again Yes we can, Yes we can Yes we can!
Others have lead the way & what others have done we too can do.
“Be the change you want to see!”
Gandhi did. Martin Luther King did, Oprah does everyday.
Nike says, “Just do it.”
I say, just decide. Yes just decide; really decide because change happens in two seconds.
Then work & join forces to keep it alive. Keep your supporters change alive, & take the rest of your lifetime to keep that change, your inspiration alive.
Start by stopping your world. Stopping the inner chatter, the ‘stinkin thinkin’ that makes fears-FALSE EVIDENCE APPEARING REAL alive. Stop the world that lets doubt sink our ship before it ever gets a chance to set sail or land.
Decide I am an inspiration. Choose how & where & who you will inspire.
Walk the walk! Gather your support. Become other’s supporters. Learn to put your attention on others & stop allowing yourself to indulge in any negativity.
Ask your self, AM I MOVING TOWARD MY GOALS or AM I MOVING AWAY FROM MY FEAR?
Its time to begin moving toward what you want.
Time for a new motivation because, like THE LITTLE TRAIN THAT COULD says Yes I can, Yes I can, Yes I can!
My values are my business
I believe that writing these essays is a long affirmation, a way of creating a world with values, imagination, & free attention. At times:
It is a questioning process-Who R U?
It’s another way of looking at life.
It’s a way to remember to remember to remember.
With this essay I wish to create our values as our business.
There are at least three ways to hear & feel my title statement depending on your intent, your vocal emphasis, & your point of view (POV).
My VALUES are MY business!
This ego driven version states what I values are my business & none of yours.
Stay out of my business. I’m not sharing values. The attitude & attention is fixed!
My values are my business?
This is the questioning approach. Are my values reflected in my business? It’s a time to take an inventory of my values & my business.
Am I playing win/win? My attention is free & my attitude is in ‘that’s interesting’ mode.
My Values are my BUSINESS.
What I value is what & how I run my business & my life. I am willing to share my values to enrich the world. My values sustain & enrich my life & all those I contact. I like this one.
Three values that reflect my life & business are:
HONESTY
FLEXIBILITY in communication, that right & wrong are on a continuum and the more flexible our communication the more we understand each other.
There is no right or wrong, just feedback, and increased listening skills.
Because I present with the Law of Three, I value CHOICE.
Yes, no or maybe. I value the world as not black or white, but often something different.
The value is in knowing there is always a choice. Sometimes choices may not be hard facts, nouns, but verbs of attitude.
I believe I am creating a world of values, one essay, one sentence, one word at a time.
