Love inspires me to become a better human being while accepting myself as I am now.  This is where I am drawing my inspiration from these days. 

The roots of the word inspiration come from latin meaning ‘breathing in’.  Whenever I tell myself to relax, the first thing I do is take a deep breath in.  Then, I let it go.  A very good habit is to breathe deeply everyday while thinking of what you are grateful for.

Fear is a motivator.  I wonder how many billion dollar businesses were built from someones fear of being poor or attempt to conquer the teacher who said they’d never amount to anything?

Both love and fear have their place in our psyche.  Ask yourself what is driving you.  Is it fear or love?  It can’t be both in one decision.  In some instances it will be fear and others… love.  

Again, it is the REAL work to make love our driving force.  Sometimes we mess it up, but accepting our mistakes and shortcomings is also what the real work is about.
