April showers bring May flowers. May brings us warmer temperatures and blooming flowers, and the countdown to summer fun officially has begun! We had a great time celebrating our local community and schools at the Big Shanty Festival in April. We got to spend time with friends, neighbors and family during a weekend of giving back, and we couldn’t have asked for a better turnout.
With a new season right around the corner, you don’t want to overlook what inspires and motivates you to do more. Inspiration gives us the feeling of joy, as well as motivation that sparks new and creative ideas. Many of us overlook what inspires us because it might be a bit ambiguous to us. However, inspiration can be activated and manipulated.
Inspiration can come from anywhere, but it can’t be forced. If you’re struggling to find it, try these tips:
• Create the right mindset for yourself.
• Don’t be afraid to try something new.
• Draft a vision board.
• Brainstorm ideas with loved ones.
• Invest in yourself with some self-care.
To generate personal inspiration, the best you can do is set yourself up for the opportunity to be inspired. As a community, we can assist by creating these opportunities for those around us to find inspiration, even in the little things.
People activate inspiration in their own way. Members of the Kennesaw Business Association (KBA) get their inspiration by helping and supporting the community. We had an amazing time supporting our local students and small businesses at the Big Shanty Festival last month. It was such a great opportunity for us to connect with members of our community, and it inspired us to do even more for our members.
May will be another month filled with amazing events. On May 9, our monthly luncheon will feature a community panel on building a better future for Kennesaw. We are thankful to our sponsor, MUST Ministries, and to Kennesaw State University (KSU) for hosting us at the KSU Professional Education Building.
On May 19, our SUPER Women’s Lunch will be held at Copeland’s. This is a great opportunity to network with other businesswomen in the community. The following week, on May 23, will be our Wake Up KBA at High Caliber Realty. Our Wake Up KBAs are for those who love to start off their day with networking, coffee and fun.
We can’t wait to see our members at our KBA events this month and to see what these events will inspire them to do. As the late Kobe Bryant said, “The most important thing is to try and inspire people, so that they can be great in whatever they want to do.”
