Inspiration

This last week I have been told by a couple of people that I inspire them. What an amazing compliment to receive and it warms my heart that people have used this word in reference to me. Thank you for that. I am still staying focused on maintaining a clear and present mind. I have found it very interesting to watch my mind , my body and influences in my life try to drag me my back to the negativity. I'm sorry but I know I'm on the right path because I feel it in my bones. I feel it with every ounce of my being. I refuse to be clouded by a feeling that brings no value to my life.
What does that feel like you ask? it feels inspiring ! Inspiring to have control of my mind and of my soul and of my overall well being. To have pure focus on what is best for me will ultimately lead to what is best for everything in my life.
I sit here at my desk after a brisk cold walk (which I forced myself to do) to the post office and a nice relaxing hot bath after that brisk walk with motivation and clarity to lead me into 2011. I had already set my winter solstice resolutions in an earlier blog post. Now I will set my 2011 goals today. Again all very attainable realistic goals. My focus is how wonderful I will feel at this time next year knowing I have reached or exceeded my goals. My goal is not to be better then anyone else but to be the best person I need to be in order to maintain a fully present life.
I had just finished reading an article (yes in oprah's magazine) on goal setting and she had said to take your  noun-verb goal and add to that goal 3 adjectives describing how you wish to feel after attaining those goals. Now focus on those feelings and let those feelings guide you through the next year. I am also taking my three simple goals for the year and will wake up each day with the focus on how is this day helping me reach my goals? what can I do today to reach these goals?

I am very excited for 2011 as this will be the year for the first time in my life that I will succeed for me
