What inspires you?
Simple question...but not always such a simple answer.
This December, our challenge will be a little different.
Find (and share)
at least one thing that inspires you.
You can share as many inspiring things this month as you like...no extra credit for quantity, but quality of the inspiration (how many other people appreciate it) will matter later. ;)
Who ever is first to the board each day, please start an 'inspirations' thread--even if the only thing you can share at that moment is "Good Morning," you'll be getting your own and everyone else's day off to a great start!
Look for inspirations which are goal or life-oriented, things that in the telling/sharing could also inspire someone else.
What inspires you from day to day could be:
a milestone you've reached
a quote
an generous action you didn't expect
something you tried that you didn't think you could do
a picture you find especially beautiful or funny
a story you find particularly motivating or moving
an incident about your day that surprised you
a good joke (yes, wacky Wednesdays live--all day, every day!)
a person around you who makes you want to try harder to be your best
Your inspiration can be ANYthing that makes you say, 'hey, it's good to be alive' -- ANYthing that makes you take a deep breath and smile.
No points or check-ins this month--there will be a weekly menus and goals/totals thread for those who want to post those things, but no group obligations. This month is about sharing inspirations, collecting our thoughts and enjoying the wrap-up for 2007 before charging off into our days.
From Dec. 26-30, we'll vote for the top 5 most inspiring of everything we've shared (by poster and date). Votes will be tallied up and and the winning inspirations spotlighted on Dec. 31 to start us strong in 2008.
The posters of the top 5 shared inspirations will each get a CD of motivating workout music (must be willing to provide a mailing address--one CD per winning person.)
This is an example of one thing that inspires me. But sharing the things which inspire other people also gives me a fresh start. So who's willing to share, and tell us all what inspires you?
