7 Wonders of the INSPIRE World
Welcome to the "Too Cool for Old School" Edition of "Upgrade Me: Inspire Your Every Damn Day."
Alright, fellow life enthusiasts, buckle up! This week, we’re diving into a smorgasbord of inspiration that'll make your neurons do the salsa. Let’s decode the sacred scripture of living your best life, letter by sacred letter. Behold, the gospel according to INSPIRE:
Intention in Your Hands
Is that a bird? A Plane? No, it's the Remarkable 2! Imagine a world where paper and the digital age had a love child. Enter the Remarkable 2, a device that screams, "I'm the future, but I also love the smell of old books." Paired with JB Glossinger’s “The Morning Coach” planner, it’s like having your own personal Yoda, guiding you to focused productivity. This gadget is not just a tool; it’s your muse, whispering, “Write, my apprentice, write.”
Navigation by Values
Never Settle for a Mission Less Stellar My mission? To sprinkle fairy dust of resilience, creativity, and open-mindedness into your cereals. Values? I've got a buffet: Connection (because who wants to be a lone wolf?), Adventure (Indiana Jones, anyone?), and a sprinkle of Creativity & Independence, with a side of Open-Mindedness & Empathy, topped off with Lifelong Learning and a cherry of Inspiration.
Supercharging Strategic Solutions
Solving Customer Puzzles Like Sherlock?
The most important work you can do (whether you have customers already or not) is to understand your ideal customer’s struggles and then create solutions that help them.
In that statement from Justin Welsh, he basically said, "Be Sherlock Holmes, but for your customers." It's all about understanding the deep, dark secrets of your customers’ struggles and then swooping in like a superhero with solutions. Your cape? Empathy. Your superpower? Insight.
Pursuing Wonder Like It’s Going Out of Style
Pursuing Wonder? Forget happiness; it’s so last season. Pursue Wonder, suggests Monica C Parker. Wonder is the new black. It’s about finding magic in the mundane, the extraordinary in the ordinary. Wonder-bringers are everywhere: in nature, in a good book, or even in that cup of coffee you’re holding. Slow down, breathe in, and let wonder do its thing.
Inspired Wisdom
Real change, enduring change, happens one step at a time.
In the Words of RBG: Step by Step Ruth B. Ginsburg, the queen of change, reminded us that Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither are your dreams. Real, lasting change happens one step at a time. So, lace up your sneakers and take that first step. Remember, every marathon starts with a single step (or a stumble, if you're clumsy like me).
Replenishing Electrolytes Like a Boss
Replenishing Electrolytes Like a Boss After transforming from a mere mortal to the Hulk on the leg press (354% gain YOY at The Exercise Coach), I learned a valuable lesson: hydration and sleep are not just good ideas; they’re necessities. Enter LMNT, the electrolyte drink mix that tastes better than your favorite cheat meal (okay, maybe not pizza, but close). It's like a spa day for your muscles. It helped stop my cramping within minutes!
Enhancing Productivity with AI’s Help
Enhancing Productivity with AI’s Help Jeff Su is basically the Dumbledore of AI productivity. Thanks to him, I’m using ChatGPT like a pro, making Google Sheets bend to my will, and sipping on the sweet nectar of efficiency. Productivity isn't just about doing more; it’s about doing it smarter, with a touch of wizardry.
Call to Action: Go forth, mighty warriors of inspiration, and let your lives be as vibrant and fulfilling as a gourmet meal. Whether you’re writing your next masterpiece on a digital paper tablet or chasing wonder down the rabbit hole, remember, the only limit is your imagination (and maybe your credit card limit).
Stay inspired, stay quirky, and for the love of all that is holy, stay hydrated.
