Success isn’t a result of spontaneous combustion. You must set yourself on fire.~ Arnold H. Glasow
Short-term– Create a list of quotes, songs, images, videos, and more that inspire you to be a great educator. Share this list with us. Then let us know where you will place these sources of inspiration so that you will see them daily and they will fuel you with the passion and motivation to be an inspired educator.
Long-term– You have other personal goals to accomplish. Begin to find sources of inspiration for those goals and place them where you will constantly see them. Begin to have rituals such as running and listening to a playlist that will help inspire you to live life on fire. Have your students create these lists as well and motivate them to feed themselves with inspiration to accomplish their goals.
Ideas of How to Feed Your Inspiration Daily

- Leave post it notes with inspirational quotes in your car, bathroom wall, or any other place you frequent.
- Have your favorite images and quotes on your screensaver and set it to where it comes on enough times for you to be able see it throughout the day.
- Post these sources of inspirations on your classroom wall.
- Set-up Google alerts with special messages.
- Post the message on your bathroom mirror.
- Place these on the refrigerator.
- Share one of these ideas daily on Facebook.
