Your Outer World Reflects Your Inner World.

I wrote my book, Walking Inspiration, a 12 Month Plan to Inspire Your Health and Fitness, as a way to memorialize the words of some of the greatest minds known to mankind and to assist you in breaking out of your current mindset and to get you moving forward, both physically and mentally.

The key phrase is “moving forward.” Yes, walking will move you forward from one physical place to the next but the greatest benefit of walking will be moving you from one emotional place to the next.

Your mindset will dictate where you go, how far you go, and how much you will enjoy the journey.

Have you ever wondered what the secret is to be successful in life and in making your dreams come true?

Some people would say that all you need to do is work very hard to achieve what you want in life. Put your “nose to the grindstone” and you’ll succeed.

Others think that it’s all about whom you know and using that connection to achieve success. “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know.”

Some feel that there are just people who are “born lucky and get all the breaks.”

Whatever you believe about success, having a positive mindset is what is going to help you succeed.

This book came about as I began thinking more and more about success. What is it exactly, where can I get some, and how can I apply it so I can lead a better life.

6 Ways Inspirational Quotes Can Change Your Day for the Better

  1. Positive inspirational quotes lessen the impact of a negative experience. Reading positive inspirational quotes can put things in perspective.

  2. A go-to quote can give you that needed lift. My mom always used Robert Schuller’s quote, “Tough times don’t last, but tough people do.” She said it so often that I thought she made it up! Let’s face it, everyone will face tough times, whether physical, emotional, financial or whatever. For me, having this go-to quote puts the breaks on my negative emotions spinning out of control.

  3. You’re not alone: Inspirational quotes remind us that the thoughts we have are a common experience felt throughout the ages. Your current emotion has been felt, discussed, and written about by others.

  4. Learning opportunities: There is nothing we can’t learn from. Seek out quotes on various topics.

  5. Keep you grounded: Inspirational quotes give a sense of the greater world around us. The thoughts and ideas of others give us wealth beyond money and bring us back to what is important.

  6. Give perspective: Picking up from the previous point, inspirational quotes help us get over the personal setbacks - from illness, loss, or a lack of confidence - we experience from time to time. By making it a habit of reading and writing down your favorite quotes, you can mitigate those downtimes.

How to Use Inspirational Quotes While Walking

  • Before your next walk… read the daily quote or pick any quote from the book and … think on it!

  • Type it into your smartphone notes app and read it back to yourself several times during the walk.

  • Record your thoughts and feelings that get inspired by the quote.

You don’t need to spend every second of your walk immersed with this quote. I’ve found that just “putting it out there” in my consciousness will trigger something at some point during the walk.

Often at the very end of the walk, my “breakthrough” insight comes to me. I immediately record my thoughts into my notes app.
