Inspiration...



Who inspires you? What are you inspired by? What is inspiration?

 Inspiration is the process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially to do something creative. (Def. of Inspiration from Google)

 Who inspires you to do something creative? Who are those people in your life that motivate you to do your best and work hard? Who has always pushed you to step out of your comfort zone and try something new? Who do want to model your life after? Who would you say is the one person you couldn't live without?

 Do you have people in your life that inspire you? If so, great! If not, you need to find them ASAP! 

 Let's flip the script a little bit though...

 Are you an inspirational person? Do you help people feel "mentally stimulated" to do something creative and great?  

 On a scale for 1 to 10, how would you rate your level of inspiration? How well do you inspire others? (1 not at all, 10 being an inspiration to all people)

 - Comment Below with Your Answer - 

 Ralph Waldo Emerson says, "Our chief want is someone who will inspire us to be what we know we could be." Who can you inspire today? Who's day will you make 1000 times better by simply inspiring them? 

 You may be thinking, inspiring people is to hard or that it's not in your nature to do it. Well you're WRONG! 

 The bible talks about it and shows us that we have inspiration within us. God the creator of all things, created us to lift up one another and to be an inspiration to the world. The bible itself is inspiration. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

 "Their responsibility is to equip God's people to do his work and to build up the church, the body of Christ." -Ephesians 4:12 (NLT) 

 We were created to "build" others up and inspire them! Now let's go do it! 

 .....

 If you're one of those that said to yourself you can't inspire people...here's a quote that may help. 

 "God doesn't require us to succeed, he only requires us to try." -Mother Teresa

 Have a great Thursday and go and INSPIRE THE WORLD!!!

Preparation...

Image
This week has been seemed to go by a little slower then the others... Maybe it's because it's been raining on and off all week or because it's the summer and that's just how it is. I haven't had a whole lot to do at work and for the most part my house has stayed clean. The normal things I do every week are done, so now what do I do? Prepare...but prepare for what? If you have set your goals and are pursuing them, you can start there and begin to prepare to accomplish those things. One of my GOALS for this year is to run in a Spartan Race , so on Fathers Day I "bit the bullet" and  signed up. I was planning on signing up for the sprint race (4-6 miles), however the coupon I had only covered the full race (8-10 miles). These races aren't cheap so I figured why not go for it and just prepare a little harder. Good thing it isn't until October 21st and I have a good bit of time to prepare ! What are you preparing for? If you have a goal ...

Training...

The Peachtree Road Race is tomorrow... Ask me if I'm ready...YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT!!! Here's why... I've been training for this 10k since the beginning of the year. I've really been training for longer then that. I put together a training schedule at the beginning of the year and even though my 10k was supposed to be on July 1st, I believe the Peachtree will be sufficient. 10k equals 6.2 miles and in the middle of the summer it will be a little tough. I am currently running nearly 3 miles a day and a few weeks ago ran two 10k's in one week. I kept them both in less than an hour and hope to do the same tomorrow if all goes well. Even though I've been training for the past 6 months, I'm still a little nervous. I don't know exactly what to expect. Last Thanksgiving my family (and Awesome Texas Family) ran/walked the Dallas Turkey Trot which was just a 5k. It was the largest race I have ever been a part of with around 25,000 participants. The ...

Stuck...

Have you ever been stuck? This morning it happened to me! I took the past two days off from running and blogging, simply because I had a few late nights that led to later wake-up times. I wasn't able to run or blog those mornings because of these all day events. These are my excuses, which are straight up baloney. I could have run in the afternoons and honestly blogged anytime during the day. I'm not sure when I lost that motivation, but it happened. Last night I went to be super early in hopes for a great re-start to an early morning run and blog. Then it happened...I got stuck. I got stuck inside my house because it was raining uncontrollably outside! Ahhhhhh!!!! I just wanted to go run to get back in rhythm with my week to week schedule and I couldn't. The rain wasn't the only obstacle, it was also full blown thunderstorm out. I sat on the couch defeated, wondering if I should go back to bed or figure this thing out. After a few minutes of contemplating...
