Frequently Asked Questions about Inspired Lifestyle

Question: What is your religious affiliation?

Response: None. We are not connected to nor do we preach the teachings of any specific religious or sectarian organization. We do incorporate insights, principles and concepts that resonate with the tone of living a heart-based, mindful, self-empowered life, drawing from a wide range of teachers, philosophies and methodologies.

Question: Where do you get the content for your web site?

Response: Some of it is written by Carol James. We have a few people who regularly contribute their articles, stories and poems. Other content is picked up via chat lists or people who submit content to the site, which we believe to be of public domain. Every effort is made to identify the original author and to acknowledge that author appropriately. When this is not possible, "author unknown" is noted. We only claim copyright for works written by Carol James. If you find something here that is misquoted or attributed to the wrong author, or if you are an author or interested party of any of the written works displayed on this site and wish for it to be attributed appropriately or removed, please notify the webmaster and it will be taken care of promptly.

Question: Can anyone submit content to this site?

Response: Yes, but not all content will be used. We do pick and choose, desiring to regulate the tone of this site. If content has a religious, disempowering or negative tone, it is not used.

Question: What factors do you use when choosing content for the site?

Response: The most important factor in choosing content for this site is that it resonates with the tone of this site. 

Question: What is the tone of this site?

Response: The tone of this site is influenced by ideas and concepts about heart-based living, joy and freedom, respect and dignity, compassion and understanding, mindfulness, self-responsibility, taking action from a point of inspiration, being self-empowered, doing more of what one loves, expressing one's full human potential, living and enjoying life to the fullest and becoming and having all that one dreams of becoming and having. 

Question: Who moderates or chooses content for this site?

Response: Carol James does. She is the founder of InspiredLiving.com and the creator and developer of this site.

Question: Do I have to give up or change my present beliefs?

Response: No. Our work is not about getting you to change the beliefs that you currently hold, but rather to get you to choose for yourself whether the beliefs that you hold still resonate with who you are or who you want to be. If they do, we encourage you to keep them. If they don't, we encourage you to find out why you are still keeping them.

Question: What if I don't agree with or resonate with all the ideas and concepts that you offer?

Response: No problem. Just choose what you resonate with and ignore the rest. The whole point of living an inspired life is to choose all that feels good and right to you and to leave the other stuff alone. Who knows, perhaps later on you may view some of your rejected ideas with a new perspective and suddenly find them appealing. Haven't you ever changed your mind about something you previously hated (eating spinach, which I hated as a child and now enjoy, comes to mind for me). Or perhaps you will never embrace some of these ideas. It doesn't matter to us. It only matters that you learn to choose for yourself.
