Awaken Your Day - February 14, 2008

Inspiration can find you anywhere…

Being a part of something…a sense of belonging… that is part of the journey to success isn’t it? Part of the path?

If it isn’t directly related to your specific goal, one cannot argue that having a sense of belonging can still be a very substantial supportive role.

It can be as simple as this. I had lunch with a friend yesterday. A friendship I consider is growing stronger. He gave me support for my book, and this blog where we all meet. He gave me ideas, and information to help make this little project better for you and I. In my excitement, I was reminded I was a part of something created here. I felt like I was a bigger part of what we share here, from the guidance from a friend. My feeling of belonging to this project grew stronger. A sense of belonging, to this purpose.

Now Stop. Consider for just a moment, a time in your life when you were a part of something. School play. The cheerleading team. The local theatre group. The gym. How did it feel? You didn’t feel, alone. And in that, you felt like more. You felt stronger. You felt, more capable. You felt more confident. And we all know that leads to more success.

American Idol.
Didn’t see that coming did you?
I told you, inspiration can find you anywhere…if you are open for business.
24 people out of literally thousands.
Now competing, but still, sharing a sense of belonging. We might call it, Dream Catching.

You can laugh if you want to. But aside from the obvious jokes and jests that comes from opinions on reality TV… do you ever stop to realize the courage it takes, to get up there…to try?
To put yourself on the line…for judgement…for opinion…from millions of people you will never know - for the benefit of your dream?
To try.
Magic, magic word…. Try.
To attempt. To make an effort. To go for it. To believe in it enough to put it on the line and try.

I need you to put aside the impression you get from television production, and touch base with the core of what you see when you watch a show like this. People, getting the courage, to take that step, to achieve that which they feel is their dream. They long so passionately for the opportunity to make a phone call, and say,
“Mom! Send more clothes! I am going to be here for awhile!”

I think you owe me a favor. For all the mornings we have shared, you can do something for the greater good.
Today, I want you to do something that will carry enough “good feeling” for someone right into the weekend.
I want you to consider two people, (The power of two) who deserve recognition for their efforts. Give them a sense of belonging, by letting them know you notice the effort they are making for personal success. Of any kind. Pick one from around you. Show them, you noticed. Let them truly feel like they belong to something, by letting them know that you notice what they are doing. They need you. They need to know, they are not alone.

The second person, is you. You need to recognize your successes. All of them. You need to look into a reflection of your life and give yourself the credit you deserve. You are reading this aren’t you? I commend you. I thank you. I encourage you. Now, it is your turn.

Acknowledge your efforts. Acknowledge your gains in this life. Acknowledge the fact that you are trying to make a difference in your life. And part of the reward of this is the reflection you give off to the benefit of the lives around you. You can do this effortlessly by being an advertisement for your own success.

Be a part of something great, and spread the inspiration of belonging.
Good morning.
