Where are you finding inspiration?

Seems like lately, I'm finding inspiration everywhere. Even that word, "inspiration" makes me tingle. I'll have to get into the etymology of the word during another blog post!

I was also musing over and toying with the idea about 

how much money is made off of people's misery,

off of people not being good enough. Let's think about some of these industries...

the beauty business

the health (including weight-loss/gain) industry

the self-help industry

Dental: are your teeth ever going to be white or straight enough??????

Medicine (OK, I am talking about traditional medicines and pharmaceuticals. 

Pardon me, I also know that many people would not like to 

look at the medical field as a business, but

I beg to differ and feel free to comment

and we can debate this topic in another blog post)

Child Welfare: I have a friend who is fighting

for her life right now, just to see, be, spend time with her

children (and no she is not a child molester or violent;

her biggest issue right now is poverty)

Natural health food, tonics, potions, lotions, etc.....

 not to imply, it's all no good but check out the 

slick marketing and advertising

and we all know that this list could go 

on and on and on to infinity.......

It's just incredible to consider.......

What are you buying? 

Or let me say it a bit differently, 

What are you buying into?

How does all of this  external programming affect your life?

OK, I went off on a little tangent....It's one of my specialties

 that I am known for them.....lol

Yes, back to my initial point....

Today, I was inspired by one of my e-mails and here's a bit of it here for you to savor..............

Enjoy!

I don't believe in "self improvement."

To believe in self improvement, you must first believe
there is something wrong that needs improving.
When people believe they are flawed, the natural
reaction is to start searching, searching, searching
for whatever is "missing"...
Looking for answers, happiness and meaning "out there."
Here's my message today:
Nothing outside you can solve your problems.
If there was an external "fix" for life - there would
be no sad, stressed out or depressed rich folks.
(check out the tabloids to see what I mean)
The good news is that you were born with all the
resources you need in order to be happy, wealthy,
successful.
Maybe you've heard that before. Or maybe not.
And I know that can be hard to swallow when you feel in
lack, or lonely, or depressed. When you can't pay your
bills, or you hate your job.
But the breakthrough can happen in an instant.
It happens to people I talk to every day.
There's a flash of inspiration - and suddenly you are
CLEAR, you're taking action and things start to happen
without effort.
And when your life changes overnight, it's not because
you siddenly "improved" yourself.
No, it's an internal shift.
It happens when you "align" yourself.
It's the moment when your conscious desires line up
with your natural unconscious power to manifest - and
any conflicts and counter-intentions you have instantly dissolve.
There's a release of power that sends energy up and
down your body and you KNOW something has shifted.
That's the power of "alignment".
