INSPIRE ME! INTRODUCTION

I am very blessed to meet with some of the most inspirational people in the world, through our website, InspireMeToday.com. My "job" is to gather inspiration and interview amazing people

like Sir Richard Branson, Guy Laliberte, Seth Godin, Marci Shimoff, Mariel Hemmingway, Gary Veynerchuk, Arielle Ford and hundreds more. (You can enjoy their inspiration FREE daily at

InspireMeToday.com.)

I leave these interviews inspired and bubbling over with inspiration that I share through tweets with my tribe on Twitter. This book evolved from multiple requests from my followers for me to

compile the tweets. I realized it was necessary for me to create this after several members of our community started saving my tweets and making their own books. I was flattered and humbled.

This information doesn't come from me any more than a painting come from an artist. Rather, I record what I see, hear and feel, and somehow these tweets and quotes were born.

I'd like to extend my sincere thanks to our more than 500 Inspirational Luminaries for sharing your wisdom and brilliance with us daily on InspireMeToday.com. We love and appreciate you!

In addition to inspiration, I love photography and often share my photos with our community in my blog. For this book, I chose shots that I felt displayed the emotion of the inspirational topic

and also shared a glimpse of what inspires me. You’ll see a lot of photos from Montana, and also from the British Virgin Islands where we take our mastermind groups several times each year.

My hope is that this book will bring you hope on days you need it, strength to persevere, thoughts to ponder, tips for success, attitude adjusters, wisdom and blessing. More than anything, I hope it

helps you to remember the magnificent, infinite, unlimited being that you truly are.

If you find it useful, please feel free to share it with others. Although we sell this ebook, our goal is to inspire as many people as possible, so you have our permission to share this book with your friends- FREE. Should you wish to make a donation to help us inspire more people, you can do

so at InspireMeToday.com. We greatly appreciate your love and support.

Enjoy the book! Read it from front to back or just randomly pop in from time to time to see the tweet you need in that moment. It is my gift to you, with my love and best wishes for living a

blessed and empowered life.

With gratitude, love and hugs,

Gail (a.k.a. @inspiremetoday)

My world is a happier place because of your presence. Thank you! Wishing you a day full of love and unlimited possibility.

Sometimes I marvel at your insights and the depth of your spirit. Thanks for sharing you.

The quality of your life will be in direct proportion to the level of your gratitude.

Praise is one of the best inexpensive gifts we can shower on others. Praise away.... :)

Enjoy life's every day gifts that are all around you.

Begin and end your day with gratitude.

If you’re not grateful for what you already have, why would the Universe send more to you?

From gratitude, all things are possible. Remember, what you focus on grows- so let it be gratitude.

Be grateful, for from gratitude alone the magic of the Universe will be revealed to you.

The two most powerful words in any language- “Thank you!”

It’s payback time... who helped you and how can you repay your gratitude?

Plant seeds of possibility and water them with gratitude.


POSSIBILITY

Miracles first show up as baby steps of possibility.

For every thought you have today, particles will line up to make it happen. Think good thoughts.

Most times, regrets are things we didn't do, not things we did.

Welcome to the best day you've ever had. What magic awaits you today? Stay open to possibility for it's all around you. :)

The butterfly that emerges will in no way resemble the caterpillar it one was. Kinda makes you think, doesn't it?

Your thoughts become things. You decide. You rule. How cool is that?


If you don't ask for what you want, the answer is already NO. Why not ask, and maybe the answer will be YES!?

Next time you think "It's not in the cards for me", remember, you get to shuffle the deck. :)

Luck isn't something that happens to you- it's something you create. How are you going to be lucky today?

What are the greatest possibilities that could unfold today?

Anything is possible. The most audacious dreams can be realized, by intention, preparation, action and unwavering belief.

Change your beliefs and you’ll change your thoughts. Change your thoughts and you’ll change your habits.

Change your habits and your life opens to unlimited possibility.

Be open to possibility. Allow magic to happen.

Today, think with no limits and watch what happens.

No matter what, you can change anything!

If we allow our definition of what's possible to be based on how big someone else can dream, our dream will die.

Thoughts become things. You get to decide, so hold tight to your dreams.

What if the very thing you're worried about today were just an illusion?


What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?

It's impossible to fail if you keep going.

Each day brings the possibility to touch millions of lives by just being you. Go make ripples of possibility!

You are an unlimited being filled with infinite possibility- with the power to be, do or create anything that you desire in your life.

Each day is a new opportunity to create what you want. Take the opportunity. Do something.

Whatever you are, do your best and be a good one.

Good morning world! It's another beautiful day already overflowing with possibility! Woohooo!!!

What's possible for you in your life? Ask.

Trust. Infinite possibilities are born of faith.

Why be normal when you can be extraordinary? Thanks for shining your light on the world. :)

Possibility is something that is born anew in every moment. Embrace it!

How different would you act today if you KNEW that your dream was possible?


ABUNDANCE

Abundance isn't something that you have, it's what you are.

Once you understand that abundance is there for everyone, life gets much easier.

Believing that you lack abundance is like a fish believing that it lacks water. You are abundance.

Collaboration is the new black. Competition only exists in our minds. There's plenty for all of us.

One plus one equals eleven, not two. Collaborate and you'll see what I mean.

Forget early- there are enough worms for all of us.


Know that there is enough for all of us- enough money, enough opportunity, enough love.

Live your life knowing that abundance is already yours.

Money only magnifies that which a person already is.

Your taking a deep breath doesn't diminish my air supply any more than your success prevents mine. We are abundance.

When you're able to look at the world as cooperative rather then competitive, everything changes. There is enough for everyone.

Collaboration and cooperation will beat competition every time.

Think abundantly. Speak authentically. Serve willingly.

You have enough. You are enough. How does that feel?

You are already worthy of all good things in life.

Thinking that we have to create abundance is like thinking we have to create sunshine. We ARE abundance.

Abundance flows in more freely when it continues to flow outward from you. Pass it on.

May you be blessed with thoughts and opportunities and take action that will create abundance in your life!


ADVERSITY

Adversity just makes us stronger in the broken places.

What if all your problems could be solved by one tiny idea? The answer is within- pay attention.

It's not supposed to be hard. If it is hard now, what could you be missing?

Feeling stuck? The best way to get unstuck is to go do something for someone else!

Adversity is but an opportunity, not an excuse.

The more you worry, the less you dream. Dreaming is more fun.

You can only do one thing at any time- dream, plan or worry. Kinda make worry a silly third choice, no?


Success looks at adversity as a step to something greater, not a wall to stop progress.

If you're going through a rough time, the Universe just might be preparing you for something greater.

Adversity is but a gentle hand to shape you into something greater.

We stumble, we fall, we get back up again.Guess which part is the most important?

When was the last time worry ever solved a problem? Breathe and know that you are perfect in this moment.

"Nothing" going on? Just like darkness before the dawn, "nothing" always precedes "something".

The problem is not that there are problems. The problem is expecting otherwise and thinking that having problems is a problem.

Nobody's perfect. We all fall down. What matters most is how quickly we get back up, learn from our mistakes and move on!

Adversity is the Universe's way of directing us down a different path.

Pain may be inevitable but remember, suffering is optional.

The worst things that ever happen to us are the stories we tell ourselves. Misery comes only from believing our thinking.


We will go through pain in our life. How we choose to respond to it is our choice.

Nothing eliminates pain and difficulty in our life faster than a greater purpose.

If you keep your goal in your heart, no road will be too long or too rocky.

Things only happen to elicit the reaction to something we need to heal.

There's no such thing as a money problem, only a "me" problem. Change the thought, change the outcome.

Just for today, focus on your faith rather than your fear. It will make all the difference in your world.

Adversity forces us to focus on things we need to learn.

If there's a problem in your life you want to change, change the belief that caused “it” in the first place!

Adversity can be turned to opportunity simply by adjusting our perception and attitude.

In retrospect, some of the greatest blessings in my life, have come from adversity.

Adversity is a part of any worthwhile adventure. It's a matter of how badly you want your dream!


There are few things in life that can't be solved by a bubble bath. :)

Adversity happens to everyone. It is not an excuse for abandoning your dream.

Adversity could be the greatest gift in our life, in retrospect.

Adversity provides an opportunity to remember who we are and what's important.

Allow adversity to be your teacher.

Our strength and resilience is always in direct proportion to our adversity.

Adversity provides the opportunity for the best part of us to shine. Dig deep.

How differently would you live your life if you believed that in the “big picture”, all adversity in some way, was a gift?

Nothing can dissipate adversity faster than changing your focus.

ALL people have adversity. What separates the good from the great is how we choose to react to it.

What if you are exactly where you are supposed to be at this very moment?

You can’t achieve greatness without first befriending its gatekeeper, adversity.


FEARWhen you can look a coming storm in the face without fear,

you have mastered your life.

How would you live if you took fear out of the equation?

Release your fears to make room for possibility.

Why is it we're most afraid to do the one thing we need to do most? (Go do it!)

When your burning desire for success is greater than your deepest fear of failure, you have the power to create anything in your life!

When we're freaked out we don't make good decisions. Breathe.

Worry is the #1 thief of our time and will rob you of today.


Nothing in life is to be feared- it is only to be understood.

Fear stops us from loving and closes our hearts. Breathe and replace fear with belief.

Do the thing you fear the most!

Focus on faith rather than fear. Anything IS possible!

Fear plus breath equals excitement! Fear plus belief equals success. Banish fear by just changing your thought.

What if fear didn't exist? How differently would you live your life today? You're safe-let it go.

Afraid? Remember, fear plus breath equals excitement! Fear plus belief equals success. Banish fear by just changing your thought.

No matter how it might look, you are so deeply loved and needed.

The fear of the storm is always worse than the storm itself.

Follow your heart- not your fears. Fear is nothing more than False Evidence Appearing Real.

If you have to fear something, go play SO big in the world that it scares you! Dare to make a BIG difference.

Fear of failure has stopped greatness in its tracks.


Fear less, hope more; eat less, chew more; whine less, breath more; talk less, say more; hate less, love more; and all good things are yours.

How would you live if you took fear out of the equation? Wouldn't now be a good time to release it?

We imagine the worst. If you're going to use your imagination, imagine GOOD things happening!

The most important thing we can do each morning is wash away any yucky thoughts and replace them w/empowering ones.

Fear can only be present when we're disconnected from our inner selves. Reconnect now.

Instead of time spent worrying, imagine what we could have achieved if we’d spent that time dreaming, planning and doing?

Do the thing you fear most and watch fear disappear.

Many proudly say they don’t fear death, yet live their lives as if they fear living. Play full out-live with no regrets!

What’s the worst that could happen? Look at it, get it out of your system, let go of the fear and focus on what you WANT.

Know that deep inside, you are resilient, brave and stronger than your fears.

Fear is the biggest self-created illusion and the doorway to our greatness. Walk through it!


ATTITUDEWith the right attitude anything is possible.

We may not choose our circumstances but we DO choose our attitude and response.

Your expectations for any given situation will greatly influence the end result.

We can't choose the number of our age, but we CAN choose the age of our attitude. (I'm 35!)

It's not only okay to be different, it's necessary!

The fishing is always best where the fewest go. Follow YOUR dream and do it your way even if "they" think you're crazy. :)


If you take the chance and it doesn't work out, you'll be back where you are now. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Push yourself to do one thing outside your comfort zone today.

Sometimes we spend so much time searching for something that's been right there all along. Tweak the attitude and opportunities abound.

What if we all wake up tomorrow and realize this thing called "life" was just a dream?

Play BIG, make it fun or don't play at all. Might as well make it worth the effort, no?

To get to the fruit of the tree, you have to go out on a limb... come on, reach, a little further....

Do something today that makes you grow. Stretch your boundaries and reach outside of the box.

You can't have magic while you're hanging on to mediocre. Where in your life are you settling?

To achieve success, attitude is more important than assets, aptitude, age or anything else!

Change your thoughts and you'll change your world.

Where focus goes, energy flows.The only thing that has meaning is what you place on it.


Tell yourself everything is easy and when you pretend or believe it, it will begin to show up that way too.

When we grow, the obstacles in our path shrink in proportion so that we can just step over them. Isn't that cool?

You'll always find what you're looking for- either the good or the bad- in any situation… but finding the good is more fun. :)

Your worst day may be someone else's best day. It's all perspective.

How we see ourselves changes how we see the world.

Don't think a small thing like attitude can make a difference in your life? Think of the power of small-a mosquito, a splinter.... BIG difference, no?

When you realize you're exactly where you're supposed to be in this moment and that you have all that you need, miracles happen.

Your words are simply the thoughts of yours, that will become things the soonest.

On your deathbed, regrets are usually of things you didn't do, not things you did! So, go do it!

What do you expect from today?? That's what you'll get. Expect miracles!

Spread your wings and fly. You belong up with the stars. The world is yours!


It's not only okay to be different, if you want success, it's necessary! Do something crazy today to stand out from the crowd!

Boring is, well, boring. Embrace Crazy! If your crazy idea is scary, that only means it's worth pursuing.

Just as important as putting up the sails,make sure the boat is heading in the right direction by having the right attitude.

It is your attitude that will determine your altitude in life. Confidence and optimism will take you to the top of the mountain.

In every moment, you are the only one who gets to choose your attitude. Choose wisely.

Nothing has the power to radically change a life more than an attitude adjustment.

A positive attitude can overcome a negative situation.

Just like adjusting the sails on a boat can help you reach your destination, adjusting our attitude can do the same thing.

If you have but one tool in life, let it be a positive mental attitude. With that alone you can leap over the highest mountains!

You are the painter of your life and your attitude is the brush.

If you can’t change the circumstances, change your attitude. Funny thing is, when you do that the circumstances often change.


CHANGE & CHOICE

Make the choice to change your attitude to one of success.

Make a choice- change your thought, change your world.

Nothing happens until you make a decision- nothing.Decide what you want and do something to make it happen.

Go with the flow and be willing to allow change into your life, for change is the only thing that's constant.

The false beliefs we have in our heads are the only cause of unhappiness. Change your thought and smile.

Take responsibility for your actions and inactions. You get to choose how to act or react.


Not making a choice IS a choice and not always the best one.

Every moment is a gift and a choice. Choose to shine your little light unto the world.

Choose consciously and wisely. You are only one choice away from changing your world.

We do have a choice in everything everyday- even when it appears that we don't.

Beating yourself up doesn't benefit anyone. Focus on what you choose to create instead.

A decision is a choice to cut off all other options and follow your path with determination.

A flower chooses to turn towards the sun. What are you choosing?

Our moments of decision are what determine the quality of our life. Choose consciously.

Change requires you to shift your identity of who you are.

Did you ever feel like you were on the verge of something so big your life was about to change? (You are!)

What we choose to do in each moment defines where we're going in our life.


Change is inevitable and those who adapt quickly are most likely to thrive.

If your life were a movie, would it be a tragedy, a comedy, an adventure or a sweeping epic? You get to choose. :)

How we see ourselves changes how we see the world. Remember, you ROCK!

Better to move forward into the unknown rather than backwards into security. Which way are you headed?

Even enlightened people have problems. The only difference is in their reaction to them.

Each day we have the option to feel good. Take it! If today were your last day... in 500 words, what would you want to pass on & share with humanity? It's

FREE each day- http://Inspire.me

When you feel sad or stuck, remember your life can change in a moment. Perhaps that moment is now?

The more you worry, the less you dream. Choose dreaming.

Sometimes the only change we need in a change in how we see the world.

Happiness and love are choices that we make in each and every moment.

Each day we choose where to focus and how to spend our time. Those choices determine our tomorrow.

DREAM ON!

Nothing is more important in life than fulfilling the dream you've been given. Nurture it & give it life!

Your dream matters. Imagine if Edison, Ford or Keller hadn’t followed their dream. Who’s waiting for you to fulfill your destiny?

Don’t know how? Your dream is showing you the path- just follow it.

Dream big and make life fun! Do something outrageous each day.

Dreaming is where we get to play without any rules or limitations. Oh yeah!

Every day, dream & be inspired. Read a good story, sing a song, play in Nature and share love.

Follow your passion. Listen to your dreams. Believe in yourself.


What are you waiting for to be different in your life to fully live your purpose?

When it comes to your dreams, change your attitude to “ I’ll see it when I believe it ” - not the other way around.

Your dream is chasing you and may not be able to catch you if you're moving too fast. Take time to slow down today.

If you knew your dream would come true tomorrow, how would you celebrate today? (Go do it!)

We have a finite amount of time so the more we worry, the less time we have to dream. (For me? I'd rather dream...)

Your dream life is lining up right now even if you can't see it. Trust the process!

Why is your dream important? Keep asking yourself this and you'll move there faster. Dream on!

What's the #1 thing that if you received, would catapult you towards your dream? How can we help?

To achieve your dream, see the world as you want it to be, not as it may appear to be.

Are you following your dream or climbing the wrong ladder leaning against the wrong wall?


Take time every day to dream your dream. It won't happen if you don't.

To achieve your dream, follow your heart- be true to yourself. All of the answers are already inside of you. Live life inside out!

REFUSE to be defined by someone else's vision of what's possible. Go live YOUR dream!

Start living the life of your dreams now. Pretend leads to reality- fast.

Follow your passion. Listen to your heart. Trust the process. Be grateful. Life is magic & your dreams matter!

It's your dream, your turn, your world- your chance to see how high you can fly- It's your life- go live it!

Your dream is possible. Cynicism only happens when you give up. Your dream is yours and yours alone, so go make it happen!

Dream big and make life fun! Do something outrageous each day. Follow your passion. Believe in yourself.

If you can see the life of your dreams it tends to show up even faster. Dream it. See it. Feel it. Celebrate it. Live it!

Today, be the person of your dreams. See and act from their eyes.

When you live your dream you are being lived by Life. When we don't live our dream we are sleep walking through life.


Are you living your dream or your drama?

The world needs your dream! No one can sing your song or dance your dance!

Think without boundaries. Dream without limitations.

What is your gift to the world- and what are you doing about it?

When are you ready to step more into the reason for which you were born?Know that you and your dream are needed and make a difference.

#IMT is here to help you remember your own magnificence. Sign up now- http://InspireMeToday.com and come fly with us!

Your dreams have no limitations except those that you place on them. Dream on!

If you want to accomplish great things, don’t save your dreams for sleep. Dream out loud in the light of day!

Cherish and nurture your dreams as you would a newborn babe. To grow, they too need your love and attention.

Dream incessantly. Believe completely. Act daily. Risk intuitively. Celebrate continually.

If you can dream it, you can do it. As in Nature where poison & antidote grow together, you’ll never be given the dream without the ability.

Never, ever give up on your dreams. Never, ever!

BELIEVE

To believe is to know in your heart that your wish has already been granted.

Find people who believe in you until you can believe in yourself.

If you have to doubt something, let it be your own limits! Expand, stretch and believe!

When we change our beliefs on the inside, we will transform our results on our outside world.

When we focus on what we can do instead of what we can't, a world of possibility opens unto us. What can you do today?

Believe that you can do it. When you believe, others will too.


Rather than "I'll believe it when I see it," try- "I'll see it when I believe it". (It works!)

Today, pretend "can't" isn't a word. Instead, believe that you have the power to do, be or create anything!

Want to share your beliefs with others? Do it by making your life the example.

What would you do if you knew that you couldn't fail? Believe!

You are Divine energy in human form-you are only as limited as your thoughts.

Your imagination is powerful- imagine hurdles and they'll show up. Don't, and they won't. Cool!

For today, think positive thoughts, believe in yourself and others, share hugs and spread love. That's it- nothing else.

With belief and action all things are possible.

Either way you're going off the ledge. So why not jump now so God doesn't have to push you? Your wings are beautiful!

You can't expect others to believe in your dreams until you're able to believe in them first.

Life is like a trapeze- you have to let go of one place to get to another. Believe, swing, release, catch... repeat. :)


Changing the world starts with first changing our beliefs and ourselves.

Belief, not worry, is the only way out of a bad situation.

Today's beliefs are next week's actions. Are you going in the direction you choose to go?

Change happens first in our mind- then in our world. Believe it & then you'll see it.

Limitations seem real when we lack faith and belief. With faith and belief, anything is possible.

I believe in the magnificence of YOU-You have the power to be, do or create anything!

Believe in yourself and your abilities. You have the power to rock your world!

Life will show up for you as you believe it will. Expect miracles!

If we believe we’re all connected, how can we be anything but kind to one another?

If you believe that life rocks or life stinks, you’ll be right. Choose rocks!

Believe in your own magnificence.

I believe in the goodness of mankind, the kindness of stranger and unlimited possibility. And, I believe in you.


TAKE ACTION!

Having a great dream & belief in yourself is commendable, but nothing happens until you take action.

Don't wait until you can get it right- instead, take the first step- get it going and tap into the magic.

Baby steps will open the floodgates of momentum and abundance. Start walkin'!

Choose your path, envision your success, take action & let the Universe help.

Rather than rowing your own boat, take action by setting your sails and stepping into the wind. Sail on!

Have a great idea? It doesn't count until you take the 1st step to make it happen!


Action is the step many forget when they wonder what happened to their dream.

Even the largest of fires starts from a tiny spark. That same potential is within you Sparky.

You can summit the biggest mountain by simply taking the first step.

Imperfect action is better than perfect inaction.

Start with your beliefs, which will lead your thoughts, which will create your actions, which will produce your results. Keyword-START.

Set your goals high and do something everyday to move forward.

Got 2 minutes? Take the time to visualize your perfect day- then go live it!

Get out there and make your dreams happen!

If you’re not scared, you’re not playing big enough. Chase away fear with action.

The hardest step up the mountain is always the first one. Start. Put your dreams into action!

Plan less, dream more. Think less, act more. Stress less, LIVE more!

You can accomplish a lot in one day, as long as that day isn’t “someday”. Make today that day by taking action now.


PERSEVERANCE

Perseverance is more important than speed. (Said the turtle in the photo above.)

Your pot of gold may be at the other end of a very bumpy road. What matters is that you keep going!

If you could accomplish only 1 thing this week- Do that 1 thing now. Set the tone for an amazing week!

You will always have another chance; as long as you take it!

Overwhelmed by your "to do" list? Do the hardest thing NOW. The rest of the week will fall into place with ease

You only lose when you give up.


We succeed most when we're too naive to know that what we're trying can't be done. :)

All things are possible-if you never give up!

What if regardless of the circumstances, you are exactly where you are supposed to be in life at this very moment?

If the door has closed, keep walking until you find the window. It's there.

You cannot discover new lands unless you take your ship out of the harbor. Sail on brave one!

Do something today you've never done before. Take a small risk. Stretch your boundaries. Live life fully!

Just because no one's ever done it before doesn't mean it's impossible. Go for it!

If you must procrastinate, wait until tomorrow to be afraid. For today, be bold and go make your dream happen!

Limitations are nothing more than artificial boundaries that we create to feel safe. Remember, you can do anything!

The longer you sit on your 'but' the weaker you become… (but I don't have the $, but she won't let me…)

Your ideas are yours and yours alone. They were given to YOU for a reason. Act on them!


When you find your purpose you will find the courage to move mountains.

Go for the gusto. Stand out. Blaze your own trail. Be YOU!

Dandelions can teach us a huge lesson in persistence.

Even if you don't know how to complete a project, just take the first step and don’t stop until you get there. There is power in action and perseverance.

If you're scared remember, stagnation only forms on still water... keep moving!

May you reach the light at the end of the tunnel soonand may it not be an oncoming train.

When it comes to your dream, don’t take “No” for an answer.

Long after the weak have given up, the great ones become an “overnight success”- because of perseverance.

I strive to have the perseverance my dog has when he begs to go for a walk.

Perseverance conquers adversity like lighting a candle eliminates darkness.

Though you may get weary and discouraged,may your feet keep moving in the direction of your goals.

Those who achieve great things aren’t necessarily smarter, richer or luckier. They just didn’t give up when everyone else did.


HEALTH AND HAPPINESS

Happiness is found in your heart, not in your circumstances.

Health starts in your mind. Think healthy thoughts and you'll be forever young.

There are always reasons to be happy. Find one and celebrate it now.

What fun thing are you going to do today just for you? Life is short-pretend you're a kid again and go play!

What would it take for you to enjoy this very moment right now and just be happy?

There are only 24hrs/day, so find what makes you feel alive, happy and fulfilled and do that first. Choose happiness.


Worry less, smile more. Happiness is a choice that you get to make.

Play and don't take yourself or the world so seriously. Create reasons to laugh!

Right now, find 5 reasons to be happy- GO!

Happiness isn’t a destination that we strive to reach, but a place within. Find it.

Have you laughed out loud yet today? A real belly laugh?You’ll feel better and it’s contagious! Start laughing!

Today, may you surround yourself with peace, laughter and good friendsand take some time for you too. Enjoy!

Just smiling releases endorphins to make you feel better. Isn't that a good reason to smile now?

Laugh more + love more= live a longer, healthier and happier life. (Good stuff!)

At least one time a day, make of fool of yourself. Do something silly just to make yourself laugh. It will keep you young!

We don't need something ‘out there’ to happen to be happy. Happiness is an inside job. :)

Happiness is a choice. You have the power to do, be or create anything you choose. Start with happy! Be happy, share the love.


The happiest people I know are those that are happy for no reason.

Health and happiness are good friends that often visit together. Invite them both into your life!

When you can be happy now in spite of problems, mountains turn into molehills.

If you focus only on getting "there", you might miss being "here". Enjoy this very moment too. :)

The key to longevity is to remember to breathe, play, rest, smile and love.

Take care of your body and keep it strong. Nourish it with good foods, lots of water and long walks in nature.

Invite your inner child to express him or herself. Blow bubbles. Do cartwheels. Laugh loudly. Have FUN!

Health is the foundation to everything else. You can only care for others when you take care of YOU.

Happiness oft times comes to us when we give it to another.

I’d be miserable today if I’d gotten some of the things I thought would’ve make me happy years ago.

The greatest happiness comes not from material things but from tapping into our higher purpose.


LIVING IN THE MOMENT

Life is about right now in this very moment. Not tomorrow, not yesterday, but NOW. Live it!

You're making a choice in this very moment on how to invest your time. Oops, that one's gone. How do you want to spend the next one?

Serendipity happens to us all every day. The key to the frequency and importance is simple: Pay attention.

Funny thing is we rarely "find the time" to do anything.... but rather, we make it.

We have the power to make TODAY our best day ever. Why wait for tomorrow?

What we leave behind is not as important as how we've lived. Enjoy every moment knowing it will not come again.


We get so caught up in planning our future moments that sometimes we forget about the ones right now.

Cherish each moment, do your best and let go of the rest.

Each day we have 86,400 seconds to fill with magic. What will you fill yours?

Life is a string of "every days" (like today). There is no someday, so enjoy your day now while you still can.

Stop. Look around you. Pause, take it in.... be present and remember to breathe.

Live in the present. It's the only thing that truly exists. Never look back unless you are planning to go that way.

This very moment, right now, is all that you really have. Enjoy it!

True wealth is celebrating the present moment. In this moment, I celebrate you and thank you for your friendship.

Don't worry about tomorrow. Enjoy today as if it were your last day.Breathe, relax, celebrate!

You are an infinite being and deserve a day filled with unlimited potential.

Ah...for the next moment, allow yourself to be a human BEing rather than a human DOing. Do nothing, just BE. Ah...

Be happy, laugh often and share the love in this moment.


It's not the big things but the small moments that bring the joy to life!

We spend most of our time worrying about the things that matter the least.

Listening to the honking geese on the lake this morning...beautiful. They inspire me to take the time to just b..r..e..a..t..h..e.....

Deep inside you know your magnificence. In this moment, decide to let it shine!

It’s difficult to fly like an eagle in the present when you’re carrying the rocks of the past.

Isn’t anything outside of the present moment simply a figment of our imagination?

The greatest gift we can give to another isn’t a present, or even our presence, but being present in the moment, for them.

Anytime we’re doing one thing and wishing to be doing another, we’re robbing ourselves of the beauty of that moment.

Love what you’re doing RIGHT NOW, for you’re trading this moment to be doing exactly what you’re doing. Treasure it.

Regret for the past and hope for the future are both thieves that steal the beauty of the present moment.

What if this very moment is the one you’ve been waiting for your whole life?


HUGS

Sharing hugs is one of the healthiest things you can do for you and others.

Hugs are a universal language that even the mute can speak, the deaf can hear and the blind can see.

You can't hit or be hit by someone you're hugging. Embrace your enemies and soon you'll have no more.

Give us a baby or a puppy and our natural instinct is to share a hug. What if we could reach out like that to one another?

KINDNESS

Kindness and love will conquer fear and illusion any day.

On Twitter as in life, kindness wins every time. Thank you for being so kind.

If you could stand in another's shoes, you wouldn't be so quick to judge ever again.

With kindness as your guide you will never lose your way.

Kindness is a gift that we give to another and we reap the benefit.

The fact that we share the same hopes and fears should unite us, not divide us.

You have the power to do something today for someone that they’ll remember forever. Kindness....pass it on.


Share credit, give praise, and compliment others. Be there for someone else.

How would your life be different if you treated strangers today as long-lost friends? We're all one. We're all the same.

The greatest gift you can ever give to others is unconditional love and kindness.

What's the kindest thing you've done today for someone else? What’s the kindest thing that someone did for you? Pass it on.

Let kindness be your guide for life. Ask, what would kindness do in this moment?

It takes so little to be kind to someone. Do it now. Reach out and make someone's day.

What if all the sad, grumpy people in your life need you to shine your light on the path? Shine on!

Your smile may be the only one that stranger may get today. Share it.

Real courage is opening our hearts to love. Are you being loving right now?

Miracles can happen from just sending wishes of loving kindness to another. Pass it on.

We can get so much further in life through collaboration rather than competition. 1+1=11!

It's just as easy to be kind and loving... and a lot more fun too. Today, be conscious - be kind. :)

What if when we wanted to share our beliefs with others we had to do it by our example? Action speaks louder than words...

What is the most loving thing you can do today? Go do it. Love is all there is. :)

Praise is one of the best inexpensive gifts we can shower on others. Catch someone doing something right. :)

Kindness is but a reminder that we see through our eyes but connect through our hearts.

Being kind to you is really being kind to me. We are but parts of the same whole.

You can tell more about a person from their kindness to strangers than you can from any words they might say.

Two words with more power for good than the wisdom in most lengthy speeches- BE KIND!


LOVEIn all moments, for all reasons- love completely.

Love is the answer to any of your questions. Start there and allow the magic to unfold.

Everyone needs your love. Why do we only give it to those that we think are "deserving"?

Find someone online today that's having a bad day and send them some love. You just might change the world!

A single candle can light the way for the masses, I add my flame to yours. Pass it on. Share the love...

Love is caring more for someone else’s happiness than for our own.


We make room for love when we first invite understanding into our hearts.

What's the greatest thing you did for someone else so far today? Love is meant to be shared- pass it on.

When fear blinds us, we find the very things things we’re most afraid of. Let love light your path and lead the way instead.

We make room for love when we first invite understanding into our hearts.

What if the stranger you passed this morning was an angel?

They're in your life for a reason- love them. Look for the good and you'll find it.

The first step to loving someone is understanding who they are. Listen with your heart not your ears.

In everything you do, come from a place of love rather than fear. That alone will change your world.

When you practice loving kindness you sparkle from the inside out. Sparkle on!

When you come to a fork in the road remember, love's the only path to travel.

Love is the essence of life itself. Nothing is greater than LOVE. Share some today.


With laughter or love, the more you give the more you'll receive.

Perfect love isn’t something that we fall into or find, but something that we create together.

Show love to those who don't appear to deserve it- for they need it the most.

Love eradicates fear like light dispels darkness. Shine your love light on the world!

Everyone you meet is here for a reason- to be loved. Without judgment, without condition- LOVE NOW.

The most important person to love, is YOU. Once you love yourself, it's easier to love everyone else.

Love is the foundation of the Universe. Live well, laugh often, love deeply.

Love yourself. Know the depth of your own magnificence!


What if we approached strangers as if we already know and love them?

Nothing beats the feeling of knowing that we are loved.

Love now. Things will come and go. What's important and real in this moment- is love.

In every moment we have the opportunity to choose love. What would love do right now? (Go hug someone?)

When everything's gone and all is said and done, the question will be, "Did we love fully?"

See what happens in your life when you open your heart. Your life will improve when you reach out to another. What can I do for you today?

Be the love that you seek in the world.

What if for today we agreed to say only kind, good things to or about ourselves and one another?

Love transcends everything- age, gender, race, ethnicity, nationality, etc.- and makes us all the same. Feel the love. Hugs to you!

Treasure your beloved. Know the meaning of bliss.


Love yourself in spite of imperfections. Know that you are enough.

Choose to love with all your heart, even if sometimes it breaks.

On Twitter as in life, be real, interact and play nice. Open your heart & share the love. :)

Beyond words, beyond actions, beyond feelings- know in your core that you are loved and that you ARE love.

Connect to the truth of who you really are- LOVE.

Let your actions come only from a place of love.

Passing on an inspiring tweet is like shining a light on someone's path. Thanks for sharing the love.

Imagine a world where we shared love as easily as we do on #FF- on and off line. Let's create it. I love you!

You will touch everyone you interact with today in either a positive or negative way. Make it positive and share the love.

The greatest gift we can give our children is to reinforce in them their natural instinct to love one another. Teach love. Be love.

Above all, in every moment, for every reason- choose LOVE.

I love you!


SPIRITUALITY

Go deep inside. Seek knowledge while knowing that all of the answers to all of the questions are already inside of you.

Take time each day to connect to the Divine. Trust that there is a plan even if you only see a fraction of it.

Be not afraid to surrender your beliefs on how things “should” be, to the greater will of the Universe.

Forgiveness is only needed when there is blame. Blame comes only from misunderstanding.

You are so very wise. Allow Spirit to talk to you, through you & just listen.

The fastest way to improve the outer world is by improving the inner one first. Reconnect to who you are.


Nature is a reminder of the magnificence that we really are.

We’re all inner-connected. You are an important piece of a very beautiful puzzle.

If you're going to reach high and far, remember to also ground yourself & go deep so you don't topple over in the wind.

Take time today to disconnect. Realize you’re not available TO the world- you ARE the world.

When Universal timing and our timing are different, it doesn't mean things aren't working. Trust and keep moving.

How differently would you live today if you knew the world was conspiring on your behalf? (It is!)

To improve what shows up in the exterior of your world, improve the interior first. Be still, connect within and magic unfolds.

Keep things in perspective and find the beauty. Remember what's important- and forget what's not.

Live your life with no regrets. Forgive others and yourself. You can't fly with an anchor tied to your feet.

Meditate on understanding, not outcome, knowing there is blessing in everything.

Ask good questions. Be still, listen and you will hear the answers.


No matter what it might feel like, know that you are never alone.We can never be separate from the magnificence of who we truly are.

You are a spiritual being enjoying a human experience- part of something so much greater that will live forever.

There are many paths up the mountain but all lead to the same top, just like we find many authentic paths to the oneness that we all are.

We are all but tiny sparks of the same bonfire called life.

Discovering the essence of who we are is both one of life’s greatest challenges as well as one of our greatest rewards.

We’re here to play BIG. We have nothing to lose in trying. And, the deck is stacked in our favor. What are we waiting for?

Don’t let the illusions fool you.Every day you are getting closer to the life of your dreams.

If we could see the world through the truth of who we are, we’d never know lack or limitations.

Act today, knowing that your thoughts today will create your life tomorrow.

Everything that happens is just part of the experience and we still get to live forever. Gotta love the adventure of life!

It only takes one... a moment, an idea, a friend, a dream, an opportunity, an action....to forever change your world.


THE POWER OF SELF INQUIRYAll of the answer to all of the questions are within us.

Tap into the wisdom within by asking yourself questions.

Ask- Where can I put my energy today that will create abundance in my life?

Ask- How can I enjoy & appreciate even more the unlimited gratitude, growth and contribution that flows through me right now?

Do you realize how many lives you've already touched by just being you?

Are you having fun or making money? Why not do both simultaneously?

Ask- where can I put my energy today that will solve my problem?

Whose day are you going to brighten today by you just showing up?


Expand your world by expanding yourself. What do you REALLY want? Who do you have to be to achieve it?

Ask- Who am I today and how can I be of greatest service to the world?

Ask yourself... is there anything an infinite being couldn't do? (You are an infinite being!)

If stuck, ask yourself- What would it take to change this situation?

Ask - What is my greatest contribution to the world?

If you had just one more thing that you could accomplish in your lifetime, what would it be?

There's always a deeper meaning behind your question. For greater value, go deeper.

If fear didn't exist, how differently would you be living your life?

Ask - Who am I today and what grand and glorious adventure am I going to have? (The answer may surprise you!)

What is no longer serving me?... habits, acquaintances, thoughts... let them go.

What did you accomplish today & how can you be more productive tomorrow?

Someone in the world has to do great things so… ask yourself, "Why not me!" You were meant for greatness.


What's the greatest gift the world has given to you today? Look for it. It will show up… Maybe it already has?

What are the infinite possibilities that life holds for you?Do you realize how powerful you really are?

Why are we afraid of change when the very nature of life is to grow?

Why is it that we seek answers from gurus and teachers and only go within as a last resort when all else fails?

Sometimes the lesson is in asking the question, not in finding the answer.

When you hit a wall, ask yourself, what is this and what can I do with this? Your subconscious mind will answer the question for you.

Ask, what energy and consciousness do I need to think, believe and be to achieve my dreams?

How does my life get any better than this? Ask the question and the Universe lines up to answer it for you.

Working on a project and need help? Ask yourself, who can help me and watch people come into your life like magic!

Ask- What core beliefs do I have that are holding me back from greatness?

The quality of your life will be determined by the quality of your questions. Ask great ones.


BITS OF WISDOM

Don't put off until tomorrow that which you can enjoy today! The clock is ticking, you'd better start living!

Live simply, love deeply and know your own inner wisdom.

Trust that you really do know the answers even when it feels like you don't- for deep inside, you do.

If you knew that today's thoughts became tomorrow's things, what would you think of now?

The Universe just asked me to remind you to trust yourself, and said you'd know what that meant & what to do. (Hope that’s right!)


Want to grow quickly? Connect to those who challenge you.

Take the time today to be good to you, in thoughts, deeds and actions- but especially in your thoughts.

Rather than seeking gratification, which is fleeting, seek to create lasting fulfillment instead.

Rather than test the unknown, copy what works, and learn from the best. There’s no need to reinvent the wheel.

We all have opportunities to beat ourselves up. Don't take them.

What if just saying "life is hard" made it so? Would you say it over and over again? Yeah, didn't think so.

The shortest path to success -focus on the 'what' and the 'why', not the 'how'. Works every time.

You will go through pain in your life. How you choose to respond is your choice.

What other people think about you isn't about you. It's about them.

What we think of others isn't about them- it's about us. Hmmmmm. :)

You are not the troubles that happen to you. You are magnificence waiting to unfold. Allow it to happen. :)


At the end of life we're going to ask- Did I live? Did I love? Ask it now.

The Universe asked me to remind you to just trust yourself. That's it. The rest is up to you.

Luck isn't something that happens to you- it's something you create.

Why does it always take longer if we're in a hurry? Slow down and breathe. We have enough time.

Why is it that common sense isn't so common?

Even on "bad hair days", you are still beautiful, even when you can't see it.

The greatest lessons we learn in life may not be easy, but the wisdom is simple.

Where focus goes, energy flows and that's what grows. What are you growing today.

Your chances of life being easy increase exponentially if you keep life simple. Focus on what matters.

Today, rather than asking for what you can have, instead ask what else you might know.

Everything happens for a reason, even if you don't understand it in the moment.

Live purposefully. Give gratefully. Laugh frequently. Love unconditionally.


The fastest way to get to the life you want is to just play make believe that you already have it today.

When I hear, I forget. When I see, I remember. When I do, I understand. - Chinese proverb

If today were your last day... in 500 words, what would you want to pass on & share with humanity? Willing to share it?www.inspiremetoday.com

In the end, all things work out for the best. If they haven't worked out, it is not yet the end. (shared by my brother-in-law)

Do what you love and love what you do and you will never “ work ” a day in your life.

It takes so much of our life to discover that it takes so very little to be truly happy.

Children have the ability to change their focus from a problem and imagine what life could be.... we can learn a lot from them.

When one door closes another one always opens.

There are only 24hrs/day, so find what makes you feel alive, happy and fulfilled and do that first. It's the only thing that truly matters :)

It’s only when you have the courage to step off the ledge that you’ll realize you’ve had wings all along.

SUCCESSSuccess is simply overcoming failure. You only lose when you give up.

If we aim high and fall short, we still achieve more than by aiming low and falling short.

Success is getting what you want but happiness is wanting what you get. (from a piece of Dove chocolate!)

Success tip: Change your default mode from fear to gratitude!

Shortcut to success: Surround yourself with people who support your dreams.

Those who are interested do what's easy. Those who succeed are committed regardless. Which way are you going today?

Success tip: When you change your default mode from fear to gratitude unlimited possibilities will appear.

When your burning desire for success is greater than your deepest fear of failure, you can create anything in your life!

Success tip- Befriend a new person and contribute to their life in a positive way.

YES has special energy. Today, try saying YES to everything-even w/conditions. (Yes, I'll go out with you-when I'm 90)-but say YES!

If we must measure success, let it be in smiles and cherished memories rather than the accumulation of stuff.

Success tip: Replace negative thoughts with positive ones.

There is vast wisdom in our elders. Take the time to talk to one today. Make their day- and yours.


CELEBRATE LIFE!Make every day a festival. Find something in your life to CELEBRATE!

Each day remember to celebrate what you DID get done rather than focusing on what you didn’t.

Don’t wait until their birthday or death to celebrate someone you love. Do it today.

Celebrate the moments of your life. One day soon we’ll look back on the years and wonder where they went.


GIVING & MAKING A DIFFERENCELive to give and give to life. Giving is the reason for living.

Give back. Be generous. Remember that the fastest way to get unstuck is to do something for someone else.

What you get from life will be in direct proportion to what you give TO life.

Many times, getting and taking seem to be more important than living and giving. Time to rethink our priorities?

It's impossible to be of service to other and feel sorry for yourself. Choose one.

Sometimes the fastest way to reach your dream is to help someone else reach his or her dream.


Give to others with no expectation of receiving anything in return.

In this very moment you have the power to change someone else's life for the better. Look for the opportunity.

What can you do today to help others achieve their goals and at the same time, move closer to yours?

Funny how if we make the day about giving to others, our day rocks too!

The gift of oneself is the greatest thing we can give. Be present.

When we receive, we allow someone the opportunity to give, completing the circle. Be a generous giver and a grateful receiver.

Someone in the world is better off today because of something you've done. Thank you!

We can never get enough to be happy when the focus is me, me, me. Give, and blessings will come to you too.

What's one thing that you can do today to make the world a better place? Share a hug. Smile. Be kind. Reach out a hand. Spread love.

The sign of a life well lived is one that was spent serving others. How are you making a difference today? (Thanks for doing so!)

Energy moves through people who are of service. Find something that's bigger than your fears & make a difference.


"Somebody should do something about that". Guess what? "Somebody" is you. Go make a difference!

Every good thing you do creates ripples that you may not see. Do it anyway.

What is the point of doing anything if you're not doing good?

Contribution leads to fulfillment. Go do something for someone else right now.

Each day we have the opportunity to be there for one another. Today, show up, reach out and make a difference.

Think good thoughts. Do good things. Be good to the world and to yourself.

Give without being asked, for no apparent reason & watch what happens.

Know that the real gift you give isn't the presents- it's your presence.

There is an innate desire within all of us to do something good. Let's go do it today.

The value I give in life is the value I get to see... And that determines the value of my life to be.

When we give of our money we give little. It is when we give of our heart that we make the greatest difference.

Live your life so that you know the pleasure of giving.


THE MAGNIFICENCE OF YOU!

There is no one like you in the entire world. Take time today to celebrate the magnificence of you!

In spite of any problems or worries, you are quite magnificent! I can see you shining from here!

Life is the ultimate opportunity to express yourself so give WHO you are to every situation.

Each day take the time to reconnect and remember, you are an infinite being with unlimited potential.

We may share 99.9% of our DNA with one another, but there is only one you. Celebrate that!


Watch what you say to yourself. Your words are powerful.

Make no mistake about it- you are magnificent! Enjoy your day remembering who you really are.

What would you do today if you knew that you were absolutely perfect just the way you are? How would that change your world? p.s. You are :)

If you take care of everybody but yourself,you're not taking care of everybody are you?

What would you do if you knew that you couldn't fail?

What if your being on this planet made a difference today in everyone's life that you touched? p.s. It does.

The person you need to look up to as your greatest mentor… is YOU.

Treat yourself like you are your own best friend. Do something just for YOU today.

Sometimes we forget who we are. Remember you are an infinite being with unlimited possibility.

I don't want to know where you work or what you do. I want to know who you are and the passion in your heart.

Would an infinite being with unlimited potential worry about anything? (You are an infinite being with unlimited potential!)


You were born an infinite being with unlimited potential- and you still are that magnificence.

In the midst of constant change, the one thing that remains the same is the deep space within. Take time to reconnect to YOU.

Just for today, pretend you are a magnet for magic. (You are!)

How does it feel to know without a doubt that you are brilliant, magnificent and you can do ANYTHING? You are and you can!

Above all, be true to you.

Problems do not define who you are unless you allow them to. Remember the depth of your own magnificence!

What's happening outside of you is irrelevant compared to what's happening inside.

I doesn’t matter that sometimes we forget who we are. What matters most is how quickly we remember our magnificence.

You've done a great job walking in your shoes. Be proud of yourself.

You are radiant, confident and beam light so brightly I can see you shining from here!

You are magnificent, your potential is unlimited and you are infinite. Pretty cool, no?


Wisdom shines from your eyes. Never doubt your own brilliance!

Illusions can appear real but we get to choose whether or not to buy into them.

You can be the chess master or the pawn- your choice.

Realize that what’s happening around you isn’t who you are.

Never underestimate the power of an unlimited being- YOU.

There is nothing more powerful than the voice inside of you. It has all the answers, if you but take the time to listen.

Who and what you are will be determined by you, not by your circumstances.

Realize that you have the power to do, be or create anything in your life. Anything.

YOU must be able to see you as you want to be, before others will be able to see you differently.

You are more significant than money. Gratitude, kindness and caring are more powerful than any problem you think you have.

Know that neither you nor nothing in your life needs to be “ fixed ”. You are whole, healthy and complete right now.

What if you really are unlimited beyond even your wildest imagination?


If we knew how loved, how Divine, how unlimited we really are, we'd see one another through tears of joy.

You know what to do, you have the right stuff and the dream can be yours. Rock on!

There is only one you, so always be you. Besides, all the other spots are already taken.

Look at all the lives you touch! The world so needs you.

Go make your life the one you have always wanted. You have the power to make it happen.

For the next moment, allow yourself to be a human BEing rather than a human DOing.

Just remember, the biggest obstacles in your path are all imaginary. You are infinite.

Thank you for just being you. No one can be you quite like you can. And, the world needs YOU just the way you are.

Isn't it wonderful to know that you already are everything this moment is asking you to be?

On this day, know that you are appreciated and that you matter. Yes, YOU. We all play an important role in this puzzle called life.

Want to share your beliefs with others? Do it by making your life the example.


Money fixes nothing. It just makes you more of who or what you already are.

You have the power to be, do or create anything you desire- anything. Just thought you could use a reminder today.

At the end of life, regret the things you DID do, not the ones that you didn't do. (i.e. No regrets!)

You are not your job or your bank account. It's so easy to forget we already have everything we need , inside. Friendly reminder. :)

Inspire others to be their best by being YOUR best.

If you must follow something rather than lead, let it be your own bliss.

Gratification is fleeting and leaves you wanting more- aim for fulfillment instead.

If you are worthy of the breath of life, you are worthy of all else. Let it in.

We are spiritual beings having a human experience.

Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly and RT often.

You are an infinite being with the power to be, do or create anything. Use that power to make today ROCK!

I believe we could fly and walk on water- if we believed we could. We are powerful beyond our wildest imagination.


So many times we look for the answers outside of ourselves, only to go inside in desperation and find exactly what we were looking for.

The most difficult times in life are created when we give away our personal power by forgetting our magnificence.

Each day we have a opportunity to allow our greatness to shine. Play big and shine brightly!

You may be the difference in someone’s life just by being you.

Each person is a bright light. When you share your light with others you shine even more brightly.

You have more to contribute than you realize. When you stay in a state of giving your gifts are amplified.

The world needs your brilliance. Share it by connecting, collaborating and celebrating.

Recognize what a rock star you are. You accomplish so much and make a difference to so many. Celebrate!

What you adore and admire in those around you is but a reflection of that same beauty within you.

Your brilliance shines in your smile. You have the power to change someone’s world just by being here.

Believe in your own magnificence and in the power within to rock your world!

I’m hoping for flying dreams tonight where I soar above the clouds. Setting the intention, now I just need to close my eyes...

AUTHOR'S NOTES & THANKS

I love living in Montana... each day I am filled with inspiration by just looking outside my window. I am blessed to share my life with my darling husband, Darryl

and our pup, Koda. They both provide continual love and support and are a constant source of inspiration. This book is dedicated to them, with all my love.

A book like this couldn’t have been compiled without a great team:

My sincere thanks to Max, my brilliant son and talented webmaster for providing an endless supply of technological knowledge, patience and mentorship. Max, also

thanks for making our website so user friendly, informational, inspirational and shiny too. I’ve learned so much from you, and most of it has nothing to do with the

website!

Thanks also to my daughter Carly, her husband Josh and my beautiful granddaughter, Luna, for being such an inspiration in my life. Most days, I listen to your music when I work and it brings out the best in me. Thank you also for the

expert editing skills and for being such a loving light to the world.

To Elaine, my morning brainstorm, accountability and celebration buddy, for always being there. A day without our connection is like a day without sunshine.

Thank you for your brilliance, your support and your love.


Thanks to Nina and Kristan for being the two best assistants ever! I greatly appreciate your love and support of me and of InspireMeToday.com. You two rock!

sharing your brilliance and wisdom with us. You inspire me every day to play bigger, go deeper and be more. Thank you.

To Mariel, one of our brightest lights, thank you for taking the time to write the forward for this book. I greatly appreciate your kind words and loving support of the work of InspireMeToday.com and of me personally. Your inspiration changes

lives and I’m grateful for your friendship.

Last but not least, to the members of our InspireMeToday.com community and tribe through Twitter and FaceBook, this inspiration is for you. Each day through our

on-line interactions you share a part of your day with me, and for that I am grateful.

It is my sincere hope that this book of inspiration helps you to remember how incredible you really are. Read it when you’re down and need a pick-me-up, or

when you’re flying and want to go just a little bit higher. Either way, these words are given as a gift to you to help you on your journey.

May you always remember that you are an infinite being with unlimited potential. Go make your life rock!

With love, gratitude and hugs,

Gail

PHOTO CREDITS

I chose these photos for one reason- they inspire me. I live in an spectacularly beautiful setting, just south of the town of Bigfork, in northwestern Montana, on Flathead Lake, less than an hour from Glacier National Park. Therefore, a lot of

these photos are of things that I see each day as a part of nature.

Many of them were also taken in the British Virgin Islands, as we sail there several times each year. (If you’re interested in joining one of our Mastermind group

sailing excursions please email [email protected] for the details.)

All of them were taken by me and are available as large prints, unless noted below. I hope they inspire you too.
