Inspiration

Dear Stranger

Yesterday I received a letter from a stranger. It was so upbeat and uplifting. It seemed surreal as the stranger was sending me their energy. Not know who I am and what I might look like. Isn't this weird or is it meant to be this way. That we will always be writing these letters and never ever know who the person on the other side receiving is. Or is this supposed to be destined or preordained by this universe. One can argue on this point.

Anyway I am sending you today something special. It is called INSPIRATION. I want you to be inspired by no one other than yourself. True, we have a lot of people we can get inspiration from. But nevertheless we must find inspiration within ourselves. I have looked at myself and wondered who really inspires me. As a child it was my mother father and anyone else who I could look up to. I guess as children it is easy to find a mentor or someone to look up to. But as you grow older you really wonder is the inspiration you get from outsiders the true inspiration. Does it really motivate me to excel in the things I truly want to excel. Or should I motivate myself to find that deep sense of inspiration solely within me. These are questions I have always asked myself. True, I have always wanted to be the next most compassionate person. And there are a lot of folks who you can draw your inspiration to be compassionate. But at the end of the day I am not sure you can acheive anything without lifting yourself up to be what you really want to be.

So as I am writing to you, I wonder if you have achieved everything you wanted and are content with life or you are just one of those that is still looking out for the next power ball lottery to be won. No matter what stage you are in your life you still need something more, something to make you excited every morning-something to jump out of bed and say- I am really looking forward to it. That is why I am saying life needs to be inspired all the time- by people around you but most importantly by you.

I hope after reading this letter you will find something that you will do today and tonight as you go to bed you will say- Yes, this letter inspired me to do this! Trust me if you do I will feel it all - no matter where you are. I will smile when you smile and somewhere in the universe we will be bound by a common thread to this thought.

Peace and get inspired now!
