Stop and think about this. Is there anyone? Was there a person you followed as a child or in your youth? Who inspires you?
It may not simply be a who either. It could be a what that provides you with inspiration. For example, the idea of paying off your house mortgage might inspire you. Alternatively, becoming a fine doctor and saving people’s lives might do it.
Inspiration can come from other places too. You could be looking ahead to the person you want to be in 10 years time. It might be easier to consider someone else. You might even pick and choose certain aspects from many different people. What qualities do you like or appreciate? Which ones would you absolutely love to have, without question or hesitation?
When you know who has a positive impact on your mental state, you can consider how you could think like them in a given circumstance.
The moment of inspiration reminds me of the saying, “When the student is ready, the teacher appears.” At some point, something or someone will inspire you to do something. You may decide to get your house in order or your finances. You might change jobs, start exercising or build your ideal life.
Whatever sparks a quest in you to improve your life, or that of others, should be appreciated. Make sure you give thanks.
Who inspires you?
