Keep What Inspires You in Front of You

My teacher says it is important to keep what inspires you in front of you. I submit that is doubly important at this time of year. When it is so much easier to sit down and stay, or to get overwhelmed by the holidays, it is increasingly important that you have whatever it is that inspires you to get up, that makes you more determined, in your way as much as possible.

This week we will take a moment to fix whatever it is that inspires you to continue to persevere in your practice against whatever is daunting squarely in your mind and keep it there as we practice.
It could be anything. Divine, family, friends, trees, animals, a phrase, a feeling. Think about what works for you and bring it with you (mentally). We will try to embody that inspiration as much as possible.
