Inspiration is like a boomerang
Sometimes I wonder ridiculous things. Things I would tell you guys to never wonder about or question. Things like “Am I enough?” “Is it okay to have an ‘off day’?” “Does any of what I’m doing really matter?” “Am I a bad person if I can’t keep the house plants alive?”
Inspiration is kinda like a boomerang and when you send it out it, sometimes it comes straight back to you just when you need it.
Here is the thing: I am so glad if something I write can inspire you and/or give you hope for living the kind of life you know you have within you. What you should know though is that I write about love, purpose, passion, happiness, romance and adventure not just for your sake, but for mine too. I need the reminders and inspiration as much as anyone else. Learning how to fall more and more in love with life takes attention and practice. That is true for me at least, and maybe you feel the same. So we are in this boat together…
What I wanted to share with you today is short and sweet and lovely. I particularly love it because it is inspiration straight from one of you. And proof about my boomerang theory of inspiration. Thank you, dear Nydia, for this email…
Hi Morgan!
I just wanted to let you know that I’ve taken some of your advice and suggestions:
1) I just arrived from a 7 day trip to Costa Rica with my boyfriend — where the entire theme was for more romance and adventure! We originally scheduled the trip to be 5 days, but after about 3 nights, we just spontaneously decided to extend it for two more nights …
2) I LOVE photography and have always wanted take a course or something … and I’ve taken your tips toward taking more interesting photos also I’m going to totally take that course! AND I’ve downloaded that Hipstamatic app and LOVE LOVE LOVE it! I’ve also gotten all the “in app” add-ons … I’ve attached a couple of pictures I took with the app in Costa Rica.
Now! Back to catching up on your blogs
I was inspired by this email and hope you are too. I read so many inspiring blog posts from these folks and these folks and these folks and these folks (just to name a few) but I don’t sit down and apply what I’ve read nearly enough. Personal development and life change is not a spectator sport, and yet, we often treat it like it is.
I’m honored Nydia could use some inspiration from me to go out and fall more in love with her life. Even more than that, though, I’m humbled, because it is exactly what I need to be reminded to do, myself. It’s one thing to write or read about it, but it’s another thing to do it (or do it consistently).
What is one thing that you have been inspired by lately that you will actually let change your life this week? I’ll be asking myself the same question.
Thank you, all of you, for your emails and comments and facebook messages and tweets. Keep them coming, you inspire me!
