Simple Ways to Inspire Your Partner
Helping a friend of mine browse the net for some custom wedding rings, I realized that there is a simple way by which someone can inspire his partner, his friends and his family. Just by using thoughtful quotes and verses that people can apply daily, one communicates a world of thoughtfulness and blessing to another. The wonderful things about verses is the way they are written; poetic, and extremely riveting.
Like this one from Proverbs 30:18-19
There are three things that amaze me—
no, four things that I don’t understand:
how an eagle glides through the sky,
how a snake slithers on a rock,
how a ship navigates the ocean,
how a man loves a woman.
With just six lines, a person can communicate the marvel that is living and loving. This could easily be placed on parchment paper, handwritten, and then framed for the home office. Or in my friend’s case, and other brides like her, inscribed on custom wedding bands so that the message stays with their spouses everywhere he goes. It’s a reminder of how we use motivating words to goad us into being the best we can be daily.
In fact, I myself am inspired by just a few words from a Latin proverb. Before I work on my online business, I read it twice (I wrote it on the cover of my daily planner). It boosts my determination to go through the motions of building an online presence, building credibility, and to subsequently earn enough for my family’s needs.
If there is no wind, row.
During high times, like when I was working for a company and money would come constantly on a bi-monthly basis, and Christmas bonus would pour every December, I admit to being a spendthrift, a wayward splurging diva. My decision to go against the tide and find myself again by embarking on another adventure means that I embrace HARD WORK. I am the captain of my soul, my finances, my life and my ship.
I am rowing now with everything that I have until the next strong wind propels me further, then I’ll row some more.
