A couple of questions today...
Who inspires you? First, I think of people like Mother Theresa, and Ghandi and Zainab Salbi, Greg Mortenson and Coco Fossland. This morning on Twitter and Facebook, my good friend Karin Hanna posted a tweet with a link to a blog article and a YouTube video. Catherine Bolt and her family have identified something they are passionate about and they are making a difference! What a gift she has given to her children to involve them in seeing they matter and they can make an impact on the world.
Take a minute right now and write down Who inspires you??????
What inspires you? What are YOU passionate about? For me, empowering others to ignite their love, creativity and passions is the BEST activity I am involved with. It gives me joy. A bit selfish....but I believe when we are tapped into our passions, we can not help but impact those around us positively. Think for a moment, what do you LOVE to do? If money were no object, what would you do more of? Ask yourself...What Inspires me? Stop reading for a couple of moments and write this down.
For your planning of 2010....if you start with the very unique soul of who you are and bring that forth more with inspired actions....it will be a very, very good year!
Wow!
Helping others is inspiring. My dog inspires me. My garden inspires me. Getting lost in a good book is very inspiring. If I didn't have to work for a living, I'm not sure what I would be differently as I fit these 4 things into my everyday life whenever possible. Would I be a Realtor if I didn't need to earn a living? Probably not, if not for the friends I have made in the business and the pleasure of helping the people I come across who have an honest appreciation for what I do.
Joeann,
I have to agree that helping others is incredibly inspiring. I guess I should stop and think, and then write some more things down that inspire me. You give really great advice for 2010 planning, too. Thanks for the inspiration!
Susan Sounds like if you wouldn't do things differently, you have your values in order! Thanks for sharing your thoughts
Carra Thanks Carra! It's a fun area to delve into!!!
Starting each day anew inspires me.
Courage and Determination inspire me..when it is witnessed it does wonders to my soul. When it is practiced it is empowering.
Gods reassurance He is there with me thru thick and thin inspires me to take risks, dream big and pursue my life's journey with passion.
Helping others inspires me - thank you so much for sharing!
Joeann, this morning I just finished reading Stones into Schools by Greg Mortenson. It is a very inspiring description of his work to build schools in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Maybe with more schools we will eventually be sending fewer troops.
Sallie I didn't know that was out yet! Thanks
I am SO with you on shifting this through education and women instea of soldiers
