Here’s a challenge: Find inspiration in someone who bugs you. Yes, seriously. Find what it is this annoying person gives to the world. Look for why this person is special.

You wanna know why?

Because, when you do that, you realize that we are all beautiful, special individuals. We all come from the same creation. When you can see with new eyes that even those people in your life who annoy the heck out of you bring light to the world, you will begin to realize how special you are! And how much your light is needed. Because, we are all connected – made of the same stuff.

And please, don’t compare! You are needed, not because you’re better, but because you are you. That is key. Your “annoying” friend is special to those who resonate with him or her. You are special and inspiring to your “peeps” when you are walking in your true nature – being the beautiful YOU that you are. When you compare, compete, judge – you hide that light a little bit more because you believe that in comparison, you’re “less than” or “more than,” when in fact, we are all the same beautiful creation in different packages.

Generally, people annoy you because there’s a behavior that reflects back to you something in your own life you’d like to change. Or, they demonstrate something you wish you could do but are afraid of. If you flip that around, you just might find that inspiration can come in the strangest of forms. From your annoying friend. Or even non-friend!

So, can you spend the week finding inspiration in everyone, even the most annoying of people?

Think about how finding inspiration from them will, perhaps, inspire you to see how special you are.

It sounds simple, and it is. But as usual, sorry, it may be simple, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. Until we decide it is.

Once you make the decision and raise your awareness to see that the creator doesn’t make mistakes, you’ll see that you are an exquisite creation. And so is the most irksome person you know.
