I was watching a movie with a well known, successful actor. I noticed that he was a master of subtle facial expressions. Sometimes they were so subtle that you hardly noticed them--a twitch of the eye, a small sigh, a slight shrug of the shoulders. I wonder if he practices these movements or, because in his head he is becoming the character, if those movements are just part of him that he does almost subconsciously?
But the point is that they are very, very small things, each one on its own. Often, you don't even notice the actual movement but you get the message it portrays. You know he is actually sad, even though he is smiling or you know he is nervous and doing his best to hide it. That is the essence of great acting--it is built on tiny but important movements.
So is our life built on tiny steps. Each day we need to renew our inspiration and it doesn't have to be a big long process. It can start with a simple smile and kind word first thing in the morning. You will find when you give out happiness, it has a way of returning back to you! Or think a happy thought, no matter how bad you might feel. If you like to sing, try singing a happy song! Often, when I do this, before I know it, I don't even remember what it was that was getting me down--by singing an uplifting song, I am propelled into a positive mood!
There are many steps you can take, to help you to be more positive and inspired. Then, with that kind of mindset you can tackle problems or difficulties and come up with real solutions. If you try to tackle problems when you are un-inspired it will most likely be a downward spiral.
I also recommend you read the Mottos of Success calender. There is one quote per day, for every day of the year. You can start your day with a positive and inspirational thought that you can meditate on throughout the day, to help you stay inspired and to be successful.
