I've been watchin' me some Oprah lately. If you could hear me speakin' I'd sound like Miss Paula Deeeen since that is my latest and greatest episode of Oprah's Next Chapter. A fave for sure.
I have decided that I am addicted to being inspired. I love hearing other people's lessons from life and learning from them myself. I always say that being the youngest of 7 (seven, that was not a typo) made me teachable. I was always being told something by someone. I am not, if nothing else, afraid or ashamed of being told what to do. It can have its drawbacks but when it comes to learning from others, I treasure it.
I have found that being inspired is a quick-fix way to get motivation. I have also found that it doesn't always come to me. I need to go out and seek it. But, whether it just shows up or I seek, the motivation comes just the same. So, here is a list of some of my motivating inspiration.
This Emotional Life - a PBS 3 part series
Food Inc.
Food Matters
Oprah's Next Chapter - seeing the world through other people's eyes lets me see through my own eyes with a little more courage and gratitude.
http://www.megjohnsonspeaks.com/ - If I could develop a fraction of her optimism...
Jill Bolte Taylor's Stroke of Insight - a TED TALKS must see
Home movies - this may be considered negative motivation for some but learning to accept yourself for everything you are moves you forward to who you are becoming.
and the list goes on
