Life challenges you, tests you, and changes you. Time will make you a better version of yourself, but only if you let it. If someone asked you to choose between being happy and being sad, you wouldn’t have to think twice. So with our current Challenge in mind (see #4), it’s time to take on a positive outlook on your life and see all the possibilities.

Need some help getting a little more pep in your step? For words of advice, or just words of love, here are our favorite inspirational bloggers, websites and personalities that stimulate and invigorate. Ignite your life with just a few clicks a day! Pair with the wellness lifestyle for optimal living.

1. The Whirling Blog

Gene-Manuel Whirling, artist and editor of The Whirling Blog, decided one day to stop daydreaming and start living. He found that one of the best parts of living was sharing experiences with others. In Gene’s world, Mondays are a fresh start, Fridays are a day for fun and sharing, and every day is a reminder to love yourself (you can subscribe to his Daily <3 Reminders for the full Whirling experience). When you share in Gene’s beautiful world, you leave a little bit and take a whole lot with you. Yesterday we asked Gene-Manuel if he had a message specifically for Spa Week Daily readers, and he did!

“You deserve the very best that life has to offer. Whether that involves a luxurious spa treatment, the perfect vacation spot, or just downtime with a loved one, it’s alright to take care of yourself! When you are JOY-FULL, you radiate that joy out into the Universe and everyone benefits. Love who you are.”

2. The Daily Love

Mastin Kipp created The Daily Love after a quest to find his true purpose. On his journey to find true happiness and inner peace, Mastin discovered an “inspirational buffet of knowledge” and started sharing. After a little twitter bird named Kim Kardashian suggested to her over 2 million followers that they should follow @TheDailyLove, they went from 1,000 followers to 10,000 overnight and now have over 300,000 followers. The Daily Love blends wisdom with style and delivers messages for a fast paced lifestyle, for insight and mentoring on the go. #TDL

“We at The Daily Love refer to the Universe as The Uni-verse. Why is this? We like to point out the obvious beauty in this simple word. Uni = one. Verse = song. Together, in all our own unique ways, we are all participating in One Song. We believe that underlying and orchestrating this One Song is a creative and benevolent Presence that has our best interest in mind.”

3. oneness. in the city.

A writer and consciousness cheerleader, Margaret Nichols is a recognized leader and trainer in the Oneness Movement. The goal of “Oneness” is to “help set humanity free.” She has trained with monks in India and Fiji and now teaches in New York, as well as mentoring other trainers nationally.  Margaret believes in vibing with the infinite expanse of our own grace and feels that wonderment should be more a common household than Wonderbread. She is teaching a higher state of consciousness in high heels, and we like that. Ohm!

“I want you to be enlightened. Like Buddha. Like, NOW. I’m here to help.”

6. Woulda Coulda Shoulda

We’ve all made excuses and said the “shoulda, coulda, woulda,” but Miriam Kamin, a freelance writer in Atlanta, decided to take control of her choices and her life. She accepts that she may not be living the life she had expected to, but she is embracing the life she is living (and wouldn’t have it any other way). Mariam is a little bit of all of us with struggles in love, work and just figuring out who you are and loving  it.

“I’m living a life I never planned for but now cannot imagine being any other way. And yes—after all these years—I’m still writing my way through it, laughing at myself as much as possible, trying to make sure that I end up with only the right regrets.”

7. DailyGood
