Maximizing Your Potential!

Here is another word which is used all the time but is not necessarily fully understood.

It is defined as, “the process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially to do something creative.”

Now, it would seem that this inspiration comes from an outside source, but that is not necessarily true. It can come from within, after one has read something meaningful or experienced something that moved one.

It is further defined as, “the quality of having been so stimulated, especially when evident in something.” Like noticing it in a friends short story or seeing it in a piece of art work that is better than anything produced by the artist in the past.

Another definition is, “a person or thing that stimulates in this way.” I’d like to think that I have been able to do this over the years for my clients. We have all seen incredible performers who do this through their teachings. Zig Ziglar comes to mind for me, but we probably all have our personal favorites.

There is yet another definition, “a sudden brilliant, creative, or timely idea.” I don’t know about you but I find my best inspiration when I run or drive in the car. One of my friends claims she has her most inspired thoughts in the shower.

The derivation is from Inspire and it is Latin ‘inspirare’ ‘breath or blow into’, from in- ‘into’ + spirare ‘breathe.’

Please, breathe life into your dreams!
