5 Surprising Sources of Inspiration

BACK

Where do you go to find inspiration?
The Internet? The Bible? Magazines or TV shows?
Inspiration is all around, if you know where to look. When your life is chugging along slowly, without much enthusiasm, try these five places to put it back into high gear.
1. The newspaper comic page.
Comics are one of the sweetest treats in life, like a Godiva chocolate for your mind. Reading the comics will not only provide you with much-needed laughter, but it will remind you that simple things can make a big difference. Speak a word of encouragement to someone, give a person a genuine compliment or just tell them you appreciate them. People are starving for kindness and recognition. The comics will remind you that even the simplest act can help lift someone up.
2. Your country's flag.
The comics will remind you that even the simplest act can help lift someone up.
No matter what country you live in, millions of patriotic men and women before you made sacrifices so you can enjoy a better life. Every time you see a flag, let it inspire you to vote, conserve energy or resources, or volunteer. Your country will be made stronger for the generations who follow you.
3. Trees and plants.
Plants, and especially large trees, are studies in perseverance. They send out roots and leaves to seek the nutrients and sunlight they need to survive. Let them inspire you to keep trying and searching for whatever you need in life to thrive.
4. Appliances and electronics.
Every man-made device you see in your home or at work started with an idea in someone's mind. Often it took the inventor years of struggle and development to make his dream a reality. If they succeeded, you can too. Every new idea is attacked by critics and naysayers. But when you look at your car, television, or refrigerator, let these successful products remind you that with enough hard work, dreams do come true.
5. A school building.
When you see a school, think about all the teachers who dedicated their lives to your education. Remember too, that learning is a lifelong process. Curiosity keeps you young, while learning gives you direction. Thanks to the Internet and public libraries, you can become an expert in whatever subject you choose. When you see a school, be inspired to keep learning and creating new opportunities for yourself.

INSPIRATION AND FOCUS

ITS NOT TOO LATE

We make the decision to be rich or poor,master or slave .We are not born with financial destiny implanted in us. We decide to be rich or poor. A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of his thought. Thought in the mind hath made us. What we are by thought was wrought and built. If a man's mind hath evil thought, pain comes on him. If one endures in purity of thought, joy follows him.

Do you think money or riches is reserved for those who are smarts? Pause and think about it.



Believe this, man is made or unmade by himself. In the armory of thought he forges the weapons by which he destroys himself. He also fashions the tools with which he builds for himself material and heavenly mansions of joy, strength and peace. Thought and idea rules the world. Everything in the world today came into existent through the thought and idea of somebody.

When GOD created us. He created in us something called TALENTS. For most of us, our talents are often underdeveloped, sometimes, ignored and frequently used without our realizing that they are gifts to us from God. Everyone has talents, but it is left for you to recognize and develop them. Discover what you love doing naturally, that is your talent. Only by much searching and mining are gold and diamonds obtained.

Friend, you have the inherent ability and natural power to become great, successful, healthy, happy, wealthy and whatever you want to become, if you can discover your talents.

WHAT ABOUT MY ENVIRONMENT ?

Who are in this environment? You and I, of course. You are born in this environment for a purpose. Truly, in our environment, so many people are discouraged there are no job opportunities, no good infrastructures, to establish a small business is also not made easy, you spend money on things you are not supposed to. For example, you are forced to buy fuel because of lack of constant supply of power.
Our problem had persisted because of what you and I say with our mouth. We say negative things about our environment, we say our country is a bad country, we say this country can never be good again. Our leaders’re selfish and greedy. What do you expect from a country where 90% of its citizen think and talk negatively about it?
If you want a change, let start thinking positive about our environment. As a man thinketh so is he. Our country is a land of abundance. Say my country is a blessed NATION. That reminds me of a statement made by one of the American past president "Don’t ask what your country can do for you, ask what can you do for you country"

Pause and look around you.

Look at your life and think about your future. Everything your heart desires_ _ _ _ _is that what you have? or have you settled for mediocrity.
What do you learn about yourself? Are you challenging yourself enough? PLEASE SEARCH, DISCOVER AND DEVELOP YOUR TALENTS. The road may not be easy, pressure is not a bad thing, stress can reap great things, challenges make us stronger and obstacles are the building blocks that will shape success in the end. There are lot of opportunities awaits you. Why not think dip, search, observe and discover you TALENTS.
