Are you Inspired?
Inspiration.....do you need it? Are you looking for it? Are you inspired now?
Have you ever wondered how those who have gone before you found their inspiration? I suppose there have always been others around who could have inspired them. Just like today, with the wonderful tool of the Internet, we can Google up all kinds of inspiration with the tips of our fingers. In seconds our computer screen can be filled with hundreds, maybe thousands of inspirational messages, stories and tales from those who have gone before us. Believe me, I've sought out a lot of them!! And yes many inspire me...there have been people, inspirational sayings, posters, writings and advise that have helped propel me on my health and fitness journey. Truly without them, I may not have even started. So I am most grateful!!!
But yesterday, I was really looking for something to get me revved up.....and frankly, nothing was doing it for me. I was as blah and uninspired as I've ever been. Please know, my non-inspiration did not have anything to do with the people who's stories I read, because they are truly inspiring. What it had to do with....was me!
I guess I am just tired of looking for inspiration from others. Finally yesterday, I decided that instead of me always looking to others for inspiration....I decided that I wanted to be the inspiration! Not that I haven't inspired a person or two, but what I'm looking for is this.
There are so many people out there who have giant obstacles in their life, and when they put their mind to it, they overcame those obstacles and achieved amazing feats, that most would say was impossible!
So I'm thinking....yes I have obstacles.....and I have things I want and need to do. But today, even with the success I've had so far, I'm still hiding behind this wall of fat and I have been too afraid to really put myself out there to reach my goals.... to afraid to break the wall down....
I guess I've been searching for the next new phrase or comment, or suggestion that will help me to be willing to go to that next level. I think I'm still looking for the easy answer, or a sign, or something that will help me. But for me, the reality is....there's nothing stopping me from busting down all of those bricks in that very thick wall. I'm free to bust them down....I'm free to takes steps toward my goals....There is nothing holding me back...except me! The other thing is....it's not going to be easy, yes I will have obstacles and closed doors....but that does not need to stop me. There is nothing stopping me from the impossible!!!
What I'm supposed to do is to keep pushing through, every day!! Doing all I can each day, not taking my eyes off of my goals. I'm to push forward...all the way...without stopping! My attitude needs to be that, nothin's stopping me! I'm going for it ~ TODAY!!!
I am ready to push down the entire wall...I am ready to do the work...I am ready to make things happen...I am ready to be the inspiration!!!!

The things you do today are an investment for tomorrow.
The greater the price you are paying, the greater the potential dividends you may receive.
If you want to know what your future will look like, find its pattern in the present.
