Finding Inspiration In Nature

Snowy Range, Wyoming

So I am have recently been out west in the gorgeous state of Wyoming. We decided to come out for a vacation, visit some family, and take a breather from our lives. I have to tell you; it is working!!! Our days have been filled with relaxation, jokes, lots of reading, and even more nature. Nature, oh my goodness nature is a sight to see. We have been hiking multiple times in the past week and each time I find new motivation and inspiration. So I thought to myself, “How can I use this to my advantage?”. There are so many ways I could answer this question. But here’s the thing, I only need one!

SOAK IT ALL IN.

That’s it! I don’t need to figure out something witty to get my ass in gear more than it is. What I need to do is embrace the fantastic life that is surrounding me, giving me clean oxygen, and providing me the energy that I need to conquer anything I want. Now I am not saying that I won’t find other ways to be motivated by nature. I have many interests in outdoor activities such as rock climbing, fishing, trail running, gardening, and so much more. What I am saying is I shouldn’t forget the simple things. The easily accessible landscape that lies beneath our feet and in front of our very nose. I should stop and enjoy the little critters running around from burrow to burrow. The birds that are at my windows. There is no reason why I shouldn’t stop to smell the actual roses. Just knowing that I can be more aware of this gorgeous and mystifying planet allows me to be at peace. This, in turn, makes me more motivated.

So my goal for the rest of my life is to not forget about the world at my doorstep and the beauty that surrounds us. To use it as inspiration and be grateful for my surroundings. I think all of you should go out and enjoy it as well.

Be safe, learn everything, and become the hero within! :D
