Mikolaj's Monday Maunder - Ignited with sparks

Inspiration and lessons for your leadership journey!

---

Do you regularly spark the fuel within you with inspiration? I’m honored that one way you may spark that fuel is by reading Mikolaj’s Monday Maunder. So, thank you!

To the ancient Greeks, to be inspired was to have the breath of life or the breath of God come within. It means literally to be ‘in spirit.’ Being ‘in spirit’ is what fills your heart with joy, whether you believe in God or not.

In A Travel Guide to Leadership, I show you many ways to connect to inspiration:

• Daily contemplation, meditation, or prayer
• Creating and connecting to your own personal mission, vision, and values
• Spending time in nature
• Visit a church, cathedral, mosque, temple, museum, or park
• Watch inspirational movies or videos (like today’s!)
• Read inspirational quotes (I like the ‘Motivational Quotes’ app on my Android where I found today’s quote)
• Read inspirational authors
• Read and contemplate spiritual material
• Exercise (Yes, exercise can be inspirational!)
• Start a Gratitude Journal
• Write a Gratitude Letter
• Use empathic listening
• Volunteer with a church or charity
• Perform even a simple act of service for someone else
• Forgive someone
• Use last week’s Earth, Universe, God Meditation

Some of these are things to do occasionally and some you should do as a daily ritual. Whatever you choose, reconnect to inspiration today and be ignited with sparks!

“Without inspiration the best powers of the mind remain dormant. There is a fuel in us which needs to be ignited with sparks.”
