 Inspiration + Aspiration

Most of us deal with everyday questions about how we stay motivated or how we stay on track, how to be excited about what we're doing, how to stay grounded and balanced. 

Do you face these same issues? Good, I'm glad it's not just me! 

I've been playing with inspiration and aspiration. Followed by perspiration...... Why? 

Each of these words have the Latin verb for “to breathe” at their roots. We breathe in inspiration, breathe out our aspirations, and breathe through the hard work that brings us perspiration.

When we’re plagued with self-doubt or a lack of motivation, we can breathe in the inspiration of others. Seek out the passion that other people have for their work, the compassion they bring for other people, the goodness in their hearts that inspires them to do their work. We don’t have to copy what they’re doing but instead be inspired by their spirit, drive, and determination.

When we feel this inspiration, we can then look inward and find what it is that we’re called to do. And why: It’s important to build our own inner strength, drive, passion, and determination to be able to refocus, reset and reevaluate our own personal struggles.

Take a good intention, and infuse it with the newly inspired spirit you have. And then breathe it out into the world as your aspiration for today. What do you aspire to create? How do you aspire to help others? How will you continue to create balance within your life? 

And then finally, put in the work to make these aspirations happen. Remember every day is a process and you may encounter challenges along the way.  At the end of the day, the best inspiration and aspirations are nothing but hot air without perspiration.
