Welcome to 2010!

Well, we'll see how I go with being more diligent his year! Three posts over last year don't quite cut it as "diligent."

My flavor of the month is Inspiration--how to get it, how to maintain and augment it and its great value.

We have all had occasion to be "in the groove" or in our "flow" or just "on"--we know how good that feels, we achieve great things, we feel almost super-human. But yet all too often it doesn't happen often enough. So how do we get that more?

I believe it's more than goal setting (and all that that entails), or having a vision--those are good, but they are really just a means to an end. They help us "get inspired." That's the outcome we're looking for. A purposeful emotion-laden, sensory rich Statement of Purpose Or Inspiration Statement that is USED on a daily basis--that is meaningful to us. A Preview of (your) Life's Coming Attractions if you will, I believe is front and center to this obtaining and retaining an intrinsic source of Inspiration.

As Dr Norman Vincent Peale would state in his book The Power of Positive Thinking. Take the time to ponder, to empty your mind once a day on a daily basis, then fill it with this statement and all the emotion it invokes in you. The the power of creation takes over, your mind will drive the actions in and for you that will, quite literally, bring that to pass. No question in my mind.

So write one, use it, DO IT
