Daily Inspirations: A Guide to Growth and Well-Being

By Amy Lynn Esquibel

Sometimes we feel alone and all we need to push forward, to keep going, is to know that someone feels the same way; someone has been through similar experiences and understands the internal struggle. Someone believes in us and truly wants to motivate us to be better, do better, feel better. This daily inspiration book is meant to help propel you through each and every day; to remind you someone has your back, and you ARE a warrior.

Introduction

Sometimes we feel alone and all we need to push forward, to keep going, is to know that someone feels the same way as us; someone has been through similar experiences and understands the internal struggle. Someone believes in us and truly wants to motivate us to be better, do better, feel better. This daily inspiration book is meant to help propel you through each and every day; to remind you someone has your back, and you ARE a warrior. It is shepherded by Scripture: Galatians 5:22-23 - But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ²³ gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law. (NIV) The inspirations provided are meant to guide you to pursue and use love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. They are sometimes simply inspirational questions to make you think, to make you look inside and see how you can use your blessings to then bless others. I hope you feel uplifted and supported each and every day.

Acknowledgement

I would like to thank my family; my husband, Paul, who reminds me how strong I am and loves me unconditionally, who supports my every endeavor and shows our children the true meaning of a loving relationship. He is so strong, and I thank God each and every day for bringing him into my life. I want to thank my daughter, McKenna, who shows me grace and truth, friendship and loyalty, beauty and unconditional love; my son Hunter, who reminds me to laugh and see the light in this world, who shows me stubborn determination and joy for learning; and my son, Sinjin, who shows me that even when things are hard, God makes a way for us to persevere, who continues to try and grow through adversity and sees the beauty all around us. I want to thank my mom, Debbie, for always believing in me, loving me, and guiding me – even when I did not want to listen. I want to thank my grandmother, Phyllis, for making me the strong woman that I am today. I want to thank my sisters-in-law, cousins, uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews, and every relative who has bathed me in their light. I am beyond blessed by the Prohaska and Hall matriarchs and patriarchs; blessed to have my great-grandmothers and grandmothers who were poets and shared their gifts with me. I would not be me without their light and laughter. I would like to thank my like-a-brothers and their wives for helping to build a framily better than any I know. To my best lifelong friend, Kimberly, for always being real with me and showing me the unconditional love in friendship. To my bestie and like-a-sister-in-law, Mary,
