Inspiration 

Quote Of the Month

"Our chief want is someone who will inspire us to be what we know we could be."   

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Prayer for the Month

 "Gracious God, you are ever before us opening a way, calling us on. You are ever beside us, sharing each of our moments, filling them with grace and hope and glory. You are ever behind us, delighting in our accomplishments, redeeming our failures.

We praise you for your Spirit, alive in our midst and ready to inspire us. Help us to pay attention to your presence."

from 'Fresh Breezes' by     John R. Pritchard Jr.

Greetings!   


Dynamic leaders not only reach out to offer inspiration, they surround themselves with people who provide inspiration... women and men who feed their minds and stir up their spirits and touch their lives in challenging, empowering and intriguing ways.   

Seeking inspiration through interaction with others is one of the most essential tasks of a strong and well balanced leader. This month's theme is 'Inspiration'.

 

                     Enjoy!

Inspiration

The best motivator is inspiration. There is the invaluable experience of internal inspiration - that deep connection with our spiritual center from which creativity flows. But there are also many opportunities for external inspiration. The sources to tap into are innumerable: art, literature, music, children, the natural world... 

 

One of the most powerful sources of inspiration is interactions and relationships with those people whose personal journeys, insights, perspectives and personalities stimulate our minds and souls. Taking time to be in the presence of those whom we experience as inspirational is a wondrous and fruitful gift that enriches our ability to be effective and productive.

 

When we are feeling blocked or in a rut, spending time with inspiring people is a great way to get up and start moving forward again.

 

*Who inspires you?   

*Who has the ability to nudge you to think outside the box?
*Who always gets you wondering about things in a new way?    

*Who makes you feel confident about yourself and your abilities?    

*How can you schedule time during this summer season to be in the presence of these inspiring people?
