You may feel motivated by the teachings of other people today, which may leave you feeling optimistic about the world around you. The messages from the spiritual teachers who have influenced you the most could serve as a great source of inspiration for you. Perhaps you can set aside time to renew your connection with these teachers. If you have a favorite teacher, before starting your day you may want to take a few minutes to read a passage from their work. As you read, try to pay close attention to their message and reflect upon how you can incorporate their ideas into your life during the day. If you don't have a teacher who has impacted your life, you may want to visit your library or a local bookstore and choose a book that resonates with your personal philosophy. You might notice that the teachings you read today can uplift your spirits.

Spending time reading teachings that inspire us helps us to enrich our lives. Nowadays we are exposed to different types of information--some negative--which can have a tendency to overwhelm us. We feed our souls with things that are draining rather than nourishing. When we choose to read something spiritual in nature, however, we make a conscious effort to enlighten our minds. We consume information that is healthy for the growth of our spirit and begin to uncover the true meaning that our lives have for us. By connecting to motivational teachings today, you will gain insights about the deeper purpose of your life.
