Do You Feel Inspired?
Do you feel like most people do now days? Do you feel uninspired? Do you feel as though there is no light at the end of the tunnel, and that you have simply died inside and are waiting for your turn in the coffin?
Many people have lost their drive, their passion, their inspiration. In fact, even the most successful of people have moments in their lives that they too feel that they are as low as they can go and that they have nothing more to give. This is a natural part of our human experience.
The problem for most people is that they have had more than enough influence and people in their lives telling them why they don't deserve to be more, to do more, to have more. We have magazines, music, teachers, mentors, parents, friends, and a million other sources telling us who and what we should be. For a society where the individual is cherished, we sure have enough people saying who that individual should and should not be.
We need to reclaim our right to be an individual as we choose to be. Not allowing ourselves to be influenced by others opinions and choices unless we choose to do so. The right, and the ability to find our own inspiration and motivation and passion in life. The right to choose, without allowing the judgment of others to influence our decisions, who and what we want to do, have, and be.
If you feel uninspired, or as though you have lost your passion, it's time for you to find it again. To find that place within yourself, within your life where you have your passion, your inspiration. You must take the time to find those things that inspire you and drive you.
If you feel uninspired, it means that you haven't taken the time to find things that inspire you. You haven't taken the time to find those things that allow you to feel passionate. It's different for every single person. One person may feel inspired and passionate about changing lives and building a non-profit organization to do so.
Other people may find inspiration and passion in developing themselves and growing. The bible, religion, or philosophy may be enough for them. Still others may find inspiration and passion by sailing on the open sea. There is no deeper and darker a feeling than not having inspiration and passion.
When waking up is just something you do because you have to, then you have either not found your inspiration or passion, or you have lost it some where along your journey. Inspiration and passion keeps you up late at night because you can't get the ideas out fast enough. It wakes you early in the morning because you can't wait to get started again.
Inspiration and passion can be found in the most simple of places at times, and it must be searched for as diligently as a piece of gold or a diamond. It hides inside of our hearts, deep inside our gut, and it waits to be released. Once it is released, it touches us in ways that cause us to never return to the way our lives were before it touched us.
You must take the time to find your passion, your inspiration. You must learn to listen to your own inner voice and find your own way. Guided by nothing but what brings into your life those things that allow you to feel passion, happiness, inspiration, joy. Be, do, and have anything, and everything you desire, and deserve, and choose for yourself what those things will be.
