In a recent sermon I heard a pastor talk about being an inspired person. He said that inspire means "to breathe new life." That really struck a cord with me because what most of us need on a regular basis is new life, new thinking, new activity, or just to be out doing what it is we want to do. When a person does have new life and new thinking, things can get exciting.
It's easier to accept challenges once we're inspired, and inspired people make things happen. We're all faced with challenges on a regular basis. Change comes when we accept those challenges, and it's vital to know what inspires us. I know what inspires me: music, movies, books, ideas, there are even certain people I truly will go out of my way to be around because I always feel good after I talk with that person.
Going to Shaklee meetings has also always been inspiring to me. Not every meeting, but I usually feel better when I leave a meeting than when I got there. Maybe I heard the same thing for the 100th time, but I still listen and love to hear the success stories. Make sure you know what has potential to inspire you and to invest the time in reading or listening or attending those things that have potential to give you the new life. Think about it.
This is the last message I will be sending out for a couple weeks. Faye and I will be on a journey that will be very relaxing, fun, and inspiring for us. I will be sending you the next message about October 15th. Stay inspired....do what it takes.
Enthusiastically,
Gary Burke
