Top Exec Blog (Web Log)

If one is perceptive, in general, then not a day goes by without having one of those "ah ha!" moments of inspiration, whether it's something large or small. Among some sweet inspirations that I have observed in recent days:

1) An ex-colleague calls to extend a hand, share notes, commiserate on the state of the economy, the elections and life in the high-tech industry (it has its ups and downs). The genuineness of the call and its content is inspiring.

2) Another friend provides an introduction that might open just the right door at the right time for someone's career. Thanks, that's inspiring!

3) A fellow blogger posts an article ("Jess She Did") about an indomitable person who runs the NY Marathon, in spite of suffering a debilitating disease, and raising money for research to combat the pernicious malady at the same time. That's very inspiring!

4) A young person writes his sage reflections on a summer trip in the church bulletin. Through the words of an observant adult describing the young man's activities on a particular day in El Salvador we see that each of us face an "eternal uphill battle of life...." And yet, there are those around us who provide "...the constant encouragement we receive on this journey through life...." and the help "...needed to make it up that mountain." Scintillating and inspiring, given the youngster's tender age. 

And so it goes. We each have those moments, and should be appreciative of what they are, and what they say to us or about us. Whatever challenges we have, each of us can be better off by seeing (and seeking) those inspirations that carry us through each day lifted higher by the ideas, energies and spirits of everything around us. Try it, you might be inspired!
