That should set the tone for the coming year. With less than 2 days to go before we bid adieu to the rather devastating 2011, I'm sure a lot of us are now creating our annual resolutions, rehash of past resolutions, mantra to recite at the start of the year, the lucky colors, hair styles, fashion trends for the coming year, etc.
But one must always keep in mind that without inspiration, there isn't anything much we can look forward to. The world after all is replete with all the nasties and the negativities. One must be made of really strong stuff to survive it.
And one of the things that can help us all to remain strong and vibrant the whole year round come 2012 is to seek inspiration from just about anywhere.
Woke up to the sound of annoying neighbor? NO worries! Tune it out, but first, be grateful you can indeed hear the sound however annoying it may be. That you have the gift of hearing. Then proceed to turn on the radio to your favorite music and voila! there's the first inspiration of the day for you.
Then as you cook your breakfast, savor the smell of bacon frying and you know that it will inspire you to eat it even before the crispy juiciness touches your lips.
That's just for starters. There are many, seemingly trivial and mundane things that we ignore where we can actually glean inspiration from. But one of the best things is to also make sure you work on inspiring others and in doing so improve your mood.
How about a rather amusing SMS to your loved one? Just a few terms of endearment for the love of your life. Inspire him and be inspired yourself.
The opportunities for finding inspiration and for being inspired are limitless. One must now consciously seek it and that should be our theme for 2012..
INSPIRE, BE INSPIRED. in that sense, whatever challenges or trials come our way, we'll never really grow tired. fair enough??
