Success From The Ground Up

There are many ways to inspiration. You can read it from a book, listen to a speaker at a seminar, see it on TV... The list for inspiration is nearly endless. All this inspiration starts off big and is quite fleeting. The best inspiration I have found has come from my own mind. Reading past journals and taking the random ramblings that I have spewed and making sense of them.

This is why I write today. I need inspiration from within. The kind that changes the mind. The reforming of brain patterns within ones self to create a new and exciting pattern of thought. I believe that when I listen to someones inspiring words, it helps to form the ideas to self-inspire. All in all, it comes down to reorganizing ones own thought into "inspiration."

I think inspiration is always there. You just have to add new Ideas and change your brain patterns to utilize them. The only way to change your patterns is to listen to yourself and write it down. Your brain in a tangible, readable form. As my brain is constantly thinking and changing, writing down this inspiration is one great way to focus my thoughts on the task at hand.

Why am I unable to come up with a plan that really works? Why can't I come to work and know what I have to do? It starts with proper sleep. Today I have no brain power even though I slept 7.5 hours and had breakfast and coffee, I still feel that I could go to bed and not wake up till 1:00pm. Its so hard to function on mornings like these. This is why I write today.

I need to come up with a plan to get everything done. I need to finish jobs to get them out. I need to finish tasks to get them done, I need to contact hot leads and I need to come up with new leads. Should be easy! Make a list of jobs to do and do them. All in a row. Problem is, I double think what I should be doing and try to do too many things at once.

So, heres where self-inspiration begins! This is what I must do today to get the list done! Firstly, since it is so quiet here and I work by myself, I need to put some music on. This will give me a bit of company and let me feel slightly entertained. Then, I need to come up with a solid list of stuff to get done on a timeline. I need to book time for lunch so I am actually taking a lunch break and not just taking a break Willy-Nilly.

The tasks will get done today. Forget about sales for today. It's OK. Don't bother with it. Just get the physical tasks done and let everything else wait a day or two. Make that task list. This will not only make me feel like everything is getting done, but will also inspire my sense of organization that I have worked so hard to accomplish.

The organization and procedural work will get done. It is a matter of urgency. But not today. Today is for clearing the dishes, wiping the counters and sweeping the floor. Forget everything else. Forget home stuff, forget about music stuff, forget about money, forget about cars, forget about workout, forget about sales. Just clean your taskbox out and get everything done. This is really important!

When the House (Brain) is clean, then we can do the renovations (inspiration).
