Inspiration for the week

I had a thought. The thought being; what will be my motivation this week, what is going to excite me to do new things, what would I like to accomplish this week?

Every Monday I will share with you something that has inspired me, my thoughts and any images, stories or experiences.

Today I sat staring out into the mess that was before me. The waves were crashing wildly along the beach, rain blurring the ocean and sky together, bolts of lightning splitting the sky in two. Looking out deeper one could see how rough the sea was with all the white streaks.

Among all this chaos, that was unfolding in front of me, something caught my eye. I peered longer in the direction and discovered a large group of dolphins playing in the waves. I continued to watch the ride the waves, I forgot all that was around me and them.

Often we are so focused on all the mess and problems around us that we can miss these small moments of happiness. Only once we can look past it all will we be able to see these beautiful things within the hard times.

Even in the hard times and storms of life we can experience joy and have fun, not all is lost and hard times do not last forever. It is around 3pm here and the sun is now shining brightly and now the sea is calm.

Just on a little side note for self improvement. I will be doing pushups, situps and squats for the amount of $$$ (ratio;$1:1) I earn on this post and will give a short feedback every day at the end of each post. This will be split in equally between all 3. Any not done will carry onto the next day.

I like the witty way you used the closure to birth more motivation for your fitness goals. Good on you bro. The universe will be watching as your rein in the $ and the muscles.
PS: I am lucky to be able to testify that watching dolphins is an incredible experience. It gave me a lifegasm.

Even in hard time we can experience happiness. Very true. Have a good week.

Nice post. From me upvote.

There is so many beautiful things in our daily lives that we tend to miss because we only look and see all the negatives.

wow @tanyaschutte
your comment is very on point... we miss soo many beautiful things daily because of being pessimistic... good point dear... keep it up

Training yourself to look past the negative takes time but can be done :)

nice comment but there is no post of yours to upvote

Hiya @dragonslayer109 , thanks for sharing your thoughts on this topic. I fully agree that we intend to chase what we don't have instead of taking a step back and admiring what is around us at the moment. Unfortunately, society has made us believe that we need to keep chasing the next big thing and not to be content...

If society will just change its ways things would be better

I fully agree..but thats going to take everyones mindset

upvoted&followed :)

La naturaleza siempre nos lleva a nuestro equilibrio, asi tan accesible como re refleja la paz asi deberiamos vivir nosotros tranquilos en equilibrio porque todo tiene solucion.

Beautiful content and images!!! ⛵😇 Thank you for the reminder and the inspiration dear 💓🎆

Such a motivational and inspiring post to start off the week on a positive note! I have always wanted to live near the ocean, as it is a place of calm and senerity where you can find yourself at the end of a hard day and brush your worries away. There will be good days just like there will be bad days. This is just how life goes. And as you said, nothing last forever! Thanks for sharing this dude. Its a great serie. xoxo

This is magnificent! Thank you for sharing!
