What inspires you?
Out of the blue, he commented, "I find this music really inspiring." As much as I love a good musical, I am not as inspired by this particular one as say Man of La Mancha.
My other son, Jake, is inspired by sports films. I, on the other hand, by just about any film based on a true story.
It's pretty neat that so many different things in the world can inspire us. And just like a difference in what foods we like or music we listen to, inspiration comes to each of us in various ways.
I think it's important to find what inspires you and "get" some of it every day--or at least once a week.
Here are a few things that you might just find inspiring to be your best:
Spiritual books
Great films
Music
Spending time with someone you admire--not just love, admire
Cooking a delicious meal--or just eating it!
Poetry (Rumi is a goodie)
Yoga
Meditation
Aerobic fitness
Documentaries about amazing people
Chicken Soup books
Gardening (so amazing how those tiny seeds grow into wondrous plants!)
Completing a task
Write a thank you note to a friend for just being them
Spend some time in nature--the sunrise/sunset or really stopping to look at a tree or mountain can do wonders.
Read www.GoodNewsNetwork.org
Volunteer
Perform at least 3 random acts of kindness
Try something new
Love Much,

What a terrific list! And, as the New Year quickly approaches, finding ourselves inspired is especially appropos!!
I just saw a great film that is based on a true story. It is called Dreamer with Dakota Fanning and Kurt Russell. It is a great one for kids too (except for three curse words...) It is all about dreaming and having he expectation that the dream will come true.
Thank you for the inspiring reminder!
