Christine Mason Miller’s latest book – Desire to Inspire: Using Creative Passion to Transform the World – is a collection of stories, exercises, images, quotes, and anecdotes from twenty extraordinary contributors, all sharing insights and experiences of how they create a meaningful life and, in turn, make a positive impact on the world. Each chapter discusses a different aspect of living a passion-fueled life, and this month Christine is offering a 60-Second Snapshot of each chapter as part of her Desire to Inspire Virtual Book Tour.

Today Christine discusses Chapter 6 ~ The Ripple Effect of Inspiration

“Every step taken toward your most passionate,
meaningful life is the highest service you can
offer the world –
every single step.” ~Desire to Inspire

You are standing in a wide-open field, and it is dark. You light a candle. Suddenly you see five people around you – people you know. They walk up to you and are able to light their own candles with yours. Then those five people each notice five others around them, and all of those candles are lit from theirs. This goes on and on, until you see that this wide-open field is filled with people, who all now have brightly lit candles. The whole world is filled with light, and it draws more people in from beyond the edges of that field. The light keeps going, and traveling farther than anyone can see. This is the way inspiration works – it travels at the speed of light.

I have a special place in my heart reserved for creative women with a passion to inspire.  You’ve heard me rant and rave about how I get completely blissed out by people who allow themselves to get lost in the awesomeness of creative passion.  Since the moment I first encountered Christine Mason-Miller online, I’ve been in awe… she oozes the very stuff that inspiration is made of. Her words.  Her artwork.  Her presence.  Her ideas.  Her willingness to share.  Her reach.  Her collaborations.  Her heart.  Her honesty.

Christine’s new book, Desire to Inspire: Using Creative Passion to Transform the World, is about to be released and I am beyond excited to be included in it.   Pop over to Amazon and take a peek inside the book.  Christine has pulled together an amazingly inspiring group of 20 artists, writers and entrepreneurs who share quotes, stories, and anecdotes along with meaningful, encouraging exercises to support you on your journey.

xo & belief in you,

Carmen
