There are times in all of our lives that we may not feel like doing the things that we know will support us in having what we want. As we continue to grow and as our dreams and goals continue to grow this may be even more of a challenge. Something that I have found to support myself in staying on course and always moving forward is to have inspirations. People, things, events that are constant reminders to be grateful, appreciative and to persevere. I have many inspirations in my life, friends, family, leaders. there are two in particular that remind me of what I have and that I really have no excuses and nothing to complain about. One in Nick Vujicic, a 27 year old South African man who is an author and motivational speaker. Nick was born with no arms and no legs and he speaks around the world about how he went form "a life with no limbs to a life with no limits". The other is the team of Dick and Rick Hoyt. They are a father and son who run in 100's of triathlons and marathons and other races, including the Boston marathon and the Iron Man more than a dozen times each. What makes them special is that the son is a quadriplegic and the father tows, pulls and pushes his son through the entire race. I have pictures of Nick, dick and Rick up on my wall by my computer, next to my vision board and goals, so that I see them every day. Seeing those pictures and knowing the story behind them is o constant "reality check".
Always remember that you have everything you need to have everything you want. If you sometimes forget that....get a reminder. What's your inspiration?
