Finding Your Inspiration!

About two weeks ago, I arrived at Level 10 of the Affiliate Bootcamp. This is where Kyle says "you deserve a break" but only from training, not from work!. The plan of action he gives is that in the forthcoming six weeks you should write six reviews, six keyword-rich posts and record three videos. Nice break!!

So, how do you find your inspiration to do all this? What is inspiration anyway? The dictionary gives the explanation of "inspire" in the following way.

verb (used with object), in·spired, in·spir·ing.

1. to fill with an animating, quickening, or exalting influence:His courage inspired his followers.
2. to produce or arouse (a feeling, thought, etc.):to inspire confidence in others.
3. to fill or affect with a specified feeling, thought, etc.:to inspire a person with distrust.
4. to influence or impel:Competition inspired her to greater efforts.

My Inspiration Comes From. . .

For me, #4 is the most relevant - how can I be inspired to greater efforts? By the challenge itself, of course. By being challenged by Kyle to write six reviews, six keyword-rich posts and record three videos, I am inspired to begin and determined to succeed!

That is all the inspiration I need, so I get started with my research for reviews, as well as keywords. I am already signed up to Screencast-o-Matic, so I give some thought to creating more videos.

Now at the end of week two, I have completed four reviews, three keyword-rich posts and two videos, so I am hopeful - all things being equal - that I will complete the tasks before time is up. Thus, I can get back to my Bootcamp training earlier rather than later.

And when I am in need of inspiration I return to one of my favorite quotes - not sure who the author was:

live with intention.
walk to the edge.
listen hard.
practice wellness.
play with abandon.
laugh.
choose with no regret.
continue to learn.
appreciate your friends.
do what you love.
live as if this is all there is!

I would love to know how you find your inspiration.
