INSPIRATION COMES FROM WITHIN – THROUGH YOU!!

I wrote a blog around this some time ago, and today I am choosing to re-visit it again as, for me, this is so important.   It is the basis, the ground I stand on, of how I work with women.

Inspired = one is in spirit

For me, being inspired tells us so much about ourselves.    Oh, let me go back – did you know that the meaning of the word ‘INSPIRED’ is, ‘one is in spirit’.    I find that quite fascinating and inspiring in itself.    It also enables me to see that I don’t need to be motivated from the outside.   In my opinion, this is greater than when I talk about being passionate about something or other.

So, if you are motivated by the energy within yourself, you can let go because you have already everything you need inside you to motivate yourself.   It is then a matter of tapping into it.

Isn’t this a good way to look at being motivated or inspired in order to do something?

Risks

It’s about being willing to do something for its own sake, whether it (whatever ‘it’ is) produces the results you’d like or not.   It’s about trying out stuff and seeing what happens regardless of the outcome.    And, if that means sometimes taking risks that don’t work out, then so be it.    As is said, you will always learn from it anyway!

Mean for You?

What does this then mean for you?   It means that you don’t have to wait until the Guru or Expert comes along and tells you , ‘You can be just like me if you …………….’.     I’m not knocking them – some of them have worked hard to get where they are.    They, as Role Models, can help, support and challenge you AND it is, like anything, only you who can take the first step.

Regrets

Those of you who don’t take that first step, that is also fine.  You don’t have to do anything.  You can settle for an ‘average life’ with all the regrets when you look back on your life.  It is those regrets that may be gnawing away at you that you have settled for second best, is what I’m talking about.   Remember that you have a choice to do something or not!

Your Call

In my first book, ‘The Visible Woman’, one of the chapter titles is, ‘It’s Your Call: Stay on the sidelines or be inspired and take action.

I’ll leave you with the question – Are you going to listen to your Inner Voice, be Inspired and take Action or carry on as usual?    Your greatness is your Divinity.     Over to You, it’s your Call. 

Connect with me on my website www.thevisiblewoman.com or irene@irenebrankin.co.uk as I enable women to re-gain their confidence, feel more comfortable taking risks and spring clean their lives.   I am a living example of what I help women to achieve.
