Living an inspired life is what I believe we all yearn for life. On my own journey, I discovered there are six keys to feeling inspired and connected with my life.  Â
Gratitude is the fundamental key word of life.  It is the number one quality in a magnificently joyful life. Gratitude and thanks ahead of time, what appeared in the past, and what stands with you at the present moment is the joyful flow within, above, and below.  Self gratitude, present gratitude, and future gratitude gains momentum. It is the first key in living an inspired life.   Â
Love is who we are, it is what we do, it is how we live. Where there is gratitude, there is love. And vice versa. Love is the be all end all of everything. When we aspire to be love, we aspire to be inspired. We are living a joyful life.  Love catches us the moment we touch life. The air that we breath, the ground that we walk upon, the voice that we speak, the people that we encounter and the souls that we touch. Kindness flows through love. Do all thing in love. Do all thing with the thought of love in mind. It is the second key to living an inspired lifeÂ
Fun is the love and gratitude we show for life. Simply being alive is a state of being. What we do with it is what is important. What do you do with life? Exploration, adventure, hobbies; they all bring us joy. Have you ever gone hiking or on a three hour walk out in the woods just for fun? What did you encounter? What did you notice? The joy of an inspired life is having fun with everything that you do. Fun is how the most inspired people approach life. In all that we do, in all that we are, fun is what turns everything around. It is the third key in living an inspired life.  Â
Attention is what we give to life. When we give attention, when we use it correctly, we use it to notice everything around us, even the small things. The fairies, the unseen, and even the unimaginable. The unimaginable comes from, stems from, gratitude, love and from fun. The appreciation of fun is what gives attention to life. Remember that magic is important. The trees, the leaves, the grass,  the squirrels. They are abundant, they are fun, they are loving, they are attentive, and they are adventurous. When you bring attention, it is awareness. Attention leads us to an inspired life. It bring us the joy of living, and is the forth key to living and inspired life.  Â
Intention is an inspiration to do something. It gives us something to focus upon. When we pay attention to what we need and have fun with it, setting an intention will bring us joy.   Intentions are beneficial in everything that we do. It may be unconscious, or it may be a conscious decision. In a joyful life, intentions are everything.   Intentions are what makes life flow with ease and with grace. Charming and beautiful, yet honest, intentions take give meaning to a joyfully inspired life.  Take squirrels for instance, they are kind, they are humble, they are honest, they are forthright and they are loyal. Setting those intentions with love and gratitude. Giving that attention and having fun with the outcome is the fifth key in living an inspired life.Â
Action is what moves us forward. It moves us forward from any point in our life to a more joyful, inspired life. We may have gratitude, we may have love, we may view life as fun, we may give attention, we may set intentions, but if we don’t have a manner or style to take action, we miss out of the sixth most important key word to living a joyful inspired life. Giving action, sets everything in motion.  The beauty, the joy, the enjoyment. The inspiration to take action stems from the five key words above. When we love life and we have gratitude, when we have fun and enjoy, when we use our eyes to see, our ears to hear, and our minds to view; when we give attention to life and we set daily intentions, it gives us the motivation to set in motion the final key word of an inspired life, it inspires us to take action. It is the sixth key to living an inspired life.
