BE INSPIRED!

BE INSPIRED! Is this familiar? You wake up in the morning and you feel like getting back to sleep again. Work, family life and everything seems to move like a merry-go-round. You feel trapped in a routine. Nothing’s new anymore and you’re bored to tears. ‘Been there, done that” flows out as your mantra. If you said ‘yes’ to any of these, then you need to get back on track. You need to be inspired at life again. So how do you find that spark? • Relax and have fun.

Before you achieve anything that you think may be even a little difficult, you must – repeat – YOU MUST own the belief that it is not only possible, it is probable. Then, owning that belief, ask yourself some very focused questions. Questions: • What do I want? • What is the first step I should take to be one step closer to achieve what I am after? • Who can clear up any lack of knowledge that I need to achieve this? • What is my plan to get from Point A to Point B? The most important objective to achieve anything on this planet (or out of this world)

In fact, there might be times when we want nothing but to see our intimidators get run over by a bus (yikes!) but we choose to endure the pressure and react in an amiable manner in order to merit niceties, as well. In order to achieve this kind of response from everyone we meet, we must strive to be likeable. Now, likeability does not always entail that people will throw a party every time you come into the room. A person can be likeable yet not grandstanding.
