Inspiration

September is Health Activist Inspiration Month, according to a newsletter I received. They ask the question: What inspires you? Good question. Inspiration can lead to motivation.

I’m inspired by blood glucose levels in a range where I want to see them. For instance, going to bed at 93 and waking up at 91. That inspires me both emotionally and physically. I feel energized, happy and ready to take on the day. And it actually happened recently! Instead of resetting the alarm, or hitting snooze, I got up and stayed up, which then inspired me to get some things done. Inspiration begets inspiration.

Other things inspire me too, especially people who have had great adversity – health situations, financial situations, crises of whatever sort – and not only lived through it, but got something out of it and thrived. Inspiration provides perspective.

Maybe every month could be Inspiration Month. What inspires you?
