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

Blow by Blow

Was just dealt another tough work blow today with a listing that was to come up on Tuesday and was sold from underneath me over the Christmas holidays. What can I do? what should I do? The frustration and anger is over coming me. I know I need to feel this but I also know I need to release this quickly . I had to come to my blog to get this off of my chest in a positive way. So I have Glee music on in the background as I type because I know Glee always makes me smile.
I feel a fire burning in my belly I need to harness this energy to move forward and take charge of my career. I need to keep focused and clear because I do know I am on the right path. These work blows are here for a reason. What are the reasons? Maybe it's purely to give me this fire in my belly and challenge my faith in my self confidence. I will not be brought back down. I refuse to go back to the darkness. My light was on a dimmer switch now I have the switch changed out to a toggle switch with a tape over it so it can not be turned off.
I am already feeling better typing. The next few days will be focused on attainable goal setting . I am anxious to see what the future has in hold for me now that I am investing in my future.

Staying positive on a tough day.
Certain flaws are necessary for the whole. It would seem strange if old friends lacked certain quirks.
