Guilty as charged. Yep I do both. The question I ask myself is, which is most beneficial to me and those around me. Well that is pretty simple to answer by defining each word. I will not exasperate you by giving my definition or even give you the answer. If you are a seeker and wanting personal growth in your life, LOOK it up for YOURSELF. Wow Den, How rude can you be? I just inspired you my friend. You see it takes an effort to blow up a balloon and none to deflate it.

A good friend text me last Saturday and asked if I could have lunch with him Monday. While we sat eating our lunch, he said he was leaving to go to the Philippines in about 12 hours and he wanted to talk to me before he left.

I thought to myself, why me??? He told me in essence, that my life has influenced or inspired him. He wanted to meet with me and share something’s he was learning and get some input before he left.  He was headed for remote villages where people live in the cemetery and they are surrounded by very dangerous people. Where AL Qaeda and extremist are in power and growing, where people have little hope or future, where the life span average age is 40, where HE possibly would be in danger of losing his life.

Now that is a tough balloon to blow up, yet he and others have chosen to go to INSPIRE.!!!

Every moment of every day you and I have the opportunity to inspire. From the clerk at the grocery store, to the Police officer who is writing us a ticket, to our teenager who will not clean their room, to the ones we love and those we dislike the most.

Make this day, the first day, of the rest of your life and go INSPIRE the world around YOU!!!   We already have plenty of deflators.
