Inspiration can come from many things around us.  Looking at a beautiful picture, standing next to the magnificence of the ocean or perhaps hearing about a story that reinforces our trust in other human beings are just but a few examples.   We use things to inspire us, in order to recharge or reignite our own motivation to accomplish something.  Such as the beginning of the New Year, provides an opportunity for us to begin the year with a new perspective.  Some people decide that this period can be the opportunity to be resolved and lose weight, save money, pay debts or look for a new job.  I enjoy the energy that comes with this period, because I feel that it can be contagious.  We can all use someone's vibrant energy to help revitalize our own.  Professional sports teams provide another opportunity for us to see this synergy at work.  All of the players are usually fired up before a game and there is a keen sense of focus among all of them to accomplish the mission at hand.  Rather than waiting for the New Year to arrive before you pledge to do things differently, I challenge you to begin today.  To transform oneself, it takes a small step everyday in order to achieve the desired goal.  Think of this period as that time, where you will begin taking your baby steps towards your desired destination.  When the actual New Year arrives, my hope is that everyone will be well on their journey and making a habit of the new life changes that they want to make.  They say that it takes twenty one days to break a habit, so this can be your opportunity to arrive at the year two thousand and thirteen with one less item that you want to carry forward.  Select your inspiration today and use it to brace yourself as you make your way on your new path.  Don't let time go by or procrastinate about what you will do tomorrow, when you have today as your launching pad to becoming the person with the attributes you wish to possess.
