Inspiration - The Fuel for Better Living



What is inspiration?, why do I need to be inspired?, how do I get inspired?, how do I inspire people?, these are questions that pops into my head whenever the word Inspiration is mentioned

Inspiration is derived from the word "INSPIRE" which is to fill Oneself or Someone with the urge or ability to do or feel something, especially to do something creative. Inspiration is a great tool towards achieving that great life which at one point or the other we all have envisioned. Inspiration is the force that fuels our passion, inspiration can never be Over Emphasized because it is what drives us to achieve great feats.

There are so many reasons why you need to be inspired. Ever been in a situation where you just feel you are going in circles, stagnant, hopeless and having thoughts of giving up? Inspiration is the best bet for you at that point. Inspiration fuels your drive to rise up again after a great fall, inspiration imbibe in you a greater power, a force to do the extraordinary, inspiration makes you see a mountain out of a mole hill,inspiration influences, stimulates and motivates you. Inspiration fuels our urge for a better life.

How can we get inspired?, I can't happily say "yeah I've  passed a message" to you if I can't tell you how u can be inspired, in the same vein my life won't be fulfilled  If I can't inspire people. Well, from my little life's sojourn I've discovered that inspiration can be gotten from different sources both positive and negative, but I'll focus on the former because its the major reason for my writing this post. Inspiration strikes in many different forms, it could be gotten from Religious books, there's no better source of inspiration than the Bible and the Qur'an, the inspiration gotten from these books gears us towards positive and rightful living. We can also be inspired from peoples stories, people who experienced life's hurdles before us, through the form of tweets, Facebook posts et al, its just a matter of hearing about one person's amazing accomplishment. These are but a few sources of inspiration. It isn't always easy to find inspiration, but you know it when you find it (but if you're looking too hard, you may turn up empty).

Inspiring People should be your ultimate goal once you've been inspired, no man is an island, u can inspire people in one way too many. Caring for people is one great means of inspiring people, People dont care about how much you know, until they know how much you care. When you Lead by example people get inspired, practice what you preach. Say what is on your mind, the person next to you might just be thinking the same but scared or shy to say it out, If you take the risk and say the things others are holding back, you become the glue that brings people together. Try and make people feel good about themselves, try telling people what you like about them, People will rarely remember what you did, but they will always remember how you made them feel, they'll always see you as an inspirational source. Always tell people about your success and failure stories, they'll definitely learn from them.
May This Little Light Of Mine Inspire You, May It Brighten Your Horizon
