Be inspired

Avoid the temptation to react with resignation and cynicism. Instead, let life inspire you.

Not everything is ideal, not by a long shot. Yet there’s much to be thankful for, to be amazed by.

Appreciate the small details, the grand vistas, and all the interesting, useful, complex, captivating features in between. Choose respect and admiration for the endlessly varied assortment of good people you encounter.

You don’t have to always respond to a troubling situation with worry. It’s just as reasonable, and much more empowering, to respond with a sense of adventure.

You’ll make more progress when you feel more inspired. You’re able to create new richness when you focus on the richness that’s already present.

No matter what life sends you, find the potential for inspiration. Choose to be inspired, for it’s a great way to get yourself operating at full potential.
