Awaken Your Day - July 7 - Memory Lane Inspiration

Inspired living does not have to be complicated...nor does it require alot of study.

You just need to utilize the tools you have, to maintain an atmosphere of awareness and like minded thoughts. We cannot read or ingest every motivation book there is in order to learn all we can in a month and then lead this new life.

So use the tools you have...and you have many. For example...if you need a very simple break from today's stress or conflict and you need a grin... visit some music from your childhood.

I was born in 1970...so that means my teenage years were wrapped around the 80's. I can see your face now. I find myself this morning listening to the 80's rock station on satellite radio, and I can smile while I recall my youth and the moments that shaped so much of my life.

I choose to remember a time with each song that comes on and the kaleidoscope of memories that come with it.
The long hair, the dances, the air bands, the wild and crazy dreams of fame with guitars and dancing. How we were more carefree and silly and passionate about things.

I turn on some music of yesterday, and yesterday reminds me of how much fun it was. And now I look out the window onto a fresh and rainy morning with a smile.

Nothing says I cannot do a little air guitar on my way to the fridge, or sing a little Bon Jovi in the shower ... or make my wife crazy as I sweep the long gone long hair off my shoulders.

Now if only I could find that memory box with those spandex pants ...

Awaken the color of your day... with the help of a black and white moment of yesterday.
And inspiration can truly be...that easy.

Good morning and good day.
