Death is inevitable, but living is optional! It’s true…. everybody dies, but not everybody lives. Many people just exist, or observe life rather than engaging in it. People sit idly by “waiting for the right time” or “wishing for things to be different” instead of doing, trying, or changing their own circumstances. How many times in your life have you said…. “someday I will get to try that,” or “I wish I had time to do something like that.”

What are you waiting for? The only difference between you and the people living their dreams are the priorities that you have set. The most passionate people I know are out there trying things and taking risks. Most of them prioritize the things they want. If you want a passionate, loving, exceptional relationship, turn off the soap operas, take a relationship workshop, and make it happen! If you want a better job, stop complaining about the one you have, spruce up the resume, and fill out the application! If you want to take a vacation, don’t talk badly about your friend who takes vacations all the time, put in for vacation time and make it happen! If you want to write a book, stop wishing for more time, get off of Facebook, and start writing.

Everything is well within our reach but all too often people want to blame others or circumstances for what they don’t have. Guess what, if you want it, prioritize it! You are living the life that YOU created! Don’t like it? Change it! Only YOU have the power to go out and live with passion, live with purpose and Live Inspired Now!

It is difficult to love people that don’t love themselves. What does your self-talk sound like? Is it mean, judgmental, or hateful? Or, are you kind, loving, and forgiving of yourself? We have to be our own best advocates in life. It is up to us, and no one else to be responsible for who we are, what we do, what we say, or what we think. It is important to love yourself, to be kind to yourself, and to be OK with who you truly are. You don’t have to try to please others or be anyone that you are not. People will like you just for being you!

So today, start being kind to yourself by writing yourself a love letter. If you suffer from a lack of self worth, just start with one single sentence. Then, after a few weeks, build up to writing several sentences, and then maybe a full paragraph, until you can write an entire page of kind words to yourself. Point out the qualities that you are proud of, the things you like about your appearance, and compliment yourself on jobs well done. The goal is to start using kind and compassionate self-talk and learn to love yourself. Write your love letters to yourself, appreciate the beautiful soul that you are, and Live Inspired Now!

Hmmm…. makes you think doesn’t it? Think about the people you meet each day. What are the characteristics of the majority of people you come in contact with? Is it really other people that are like that? Remember that more often than not, other people reflect back what WE are expressing.

Today, start to take notice of the people you are meeting. Start to notice how they act and then take a deep look at how people might be perceiving YOU. Self awareness is a gift! Become self aware by observing how people interact with you and Live Inspired Now!

Passion is contagious! So often people make the mistake of trying to “change” others by convincing them they are wrong, shaming them, using guilt, blaming, or even with physical force. You can not “change” another person, but you can INSPIRE them! Just like the saying “You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink.” You can tell people what to believe, you can show people how to do things differently, but you can never make them take action to change if they don’t want to.

I find “inspiration” is much more effective! People want to be part of things when they see it causing joy or excitement for other people. They want to learn about things when they see how far you have gone. They get excited when they see you smile, laugh, and show your enthusiasm for what you are passionate about. Change occurs naturally, you don’t have to force it. Allow passion to inspire change. If you are truly living your passion, people will not only notice, but they will want to get involved too!

Today, forget about trying to change anyone, live your passion, share your total excitement and Live Inspired Now!

“Almost everything–all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure–these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.” -Steve Jobs
