All In

It’s homecoming week at my daughter’s school, and each day has a theme. She has a plan for every outfit, and it doesn’t make any difference what other people are wearing. Her enthusiasm and effort are the inspiration for today’s post.

Today’s inspiration: Go for it

How to use it: Take a deep breath and let go of any fear you have of other people’s opinions. Think of a person who inspires you and ask yourself what they would do. Then think of someone who is ill and consider what they would give to have the ability to face the choices you face.

Example: Today, I am full of doubt. When I start to second-guess myself, I picture my daughter all dressed up, heading out the door at 6 am to prep for a homecoming activity. I know she is tired, and perhaps a little nervous, but there she goes. I try to channel her energy. It gets me going, but I can still hear the doubting voices. Then I think of a person I know who is very ill, and what he would give to feel better, and have his biggest worry be what other people think. I take a breath and say a prayer for him. I thank the Universe for my health, and move forward full charge.

Be inspired. Go forth. Create your day.
