Life is a game which everyone plays uniquely and gain experience out of it. We cannot learn this game but yes always get inspire to play it enthusiastically. Sometimes I love to follow the footsteps of those who were playing well and get inspired to play well, life well.
While experiencing this game, we all face downfalls and rise. This rise is called success, beside this unending thoughts which are both positive and negative revolves in our head. These thoughts manipulate on our actions. The more negative thoughts, the more downfalls and vice versa.
There is something which are above from these thoughts that is Inspiration. I did a small survey on “What inspires you?” and gather lots of opinion and the common answer was “Mother, she inspires a lot to her children.” I do too.
Here I want to focus on a different prospective of inspiration. I believe that self -inspiration and self-motivation works much better. These two functions activate when you try to do these things.
How self-inspiration and self-motivation work?
1. Discipline: A life without discipline is useless, you will never come to know the importance of time and the priority of things. Self-discipline is a practice to set targets without an intention of outcome.
2. Hard work: This may be an old-fashioned word but believe me the impact of these two words can change your life and prospective of life. Only hard work takes you towards success. It is the key which enhance the power of self-inspiration.
3. Observation: Observe animals, birds, poor people and every that thing which is around you. Animals are the great source of inspiration, they won’t tell you anything but you can easily feel that love which an animal gives you. Observe poor people, you will come to know “How to stay happy if you don’t have anything”.
4. Trust: Here I am talking about the trust which you do on yourself. This trust is the origin of self-inspiration.
5. Fear of failure: This is the only one which is a demon. I bet you, this will ruin you, uproot you from everything. You need to be careful from this one.
6. Action: Self-motivation and self-inspiration automatically works when you start doing action without even a single thought of outcomes.
7. Problem-solving or problem facing: When you opt to problem facing that means you have inculcated “Fear of failure”, but when you think of problem-solving at that point your both functions are working properly.
Nutshell : The answer of What inspires you ? is you yourself. Keep yourself calm and active.

Such good thoughts. I too feel being committed is one of the best things that can take us forward!
ReplyDeleteNo matter which situation, focused and committed will have more success ratio.
I truly believe that external motivation fades out after a while. To be self-inspired is one of the best ways to keep our spirits up and achieve what we aspire for.
ReplyDeleteI agree, the motivation and inspiration that comes from within is unparalleled.

ReplyDeleteI'm still looking for something that I can use to inspire myself when I am at my lowest, where nothing seems to be working!
ReplyDeleteSo true, we look out for inspiration all around but real inspiration comes from within love the thoughts that you have shared and will keep it in mind when its the right time to implement
ReplyDeleteFor Me my mom has always been an inspiration. But self inspiration is the best form of inspiration when you push yourself and rise up from your failure you develop self confidence which results in being inspiration to do more better always.
ReplyDeleteSelf motivation and believing in self does wonders. Self inspiration and motivation go hand in hand in moulding us. Though we seek inspiration from outside we sometimes fail to notice the desire deep inside that does wonders

ReplyDeleteI honestly hadn't thought about this perspective... hmmm... quite interesting! Thank you for sowing this seed in my head.
ReplyDeleteOh yes self motivation is the only think that can make you consistent in whatever you do. So just be focused, love what you do and play the game.
ReplyDeleteBeing self motivated is so important- whenever I feel myself getting too complacent I try to motivate myself- your tips will surely help!
ReplyDeleteYes, while inspiration from role models can work wonders, I agree that we must be self motivated to reach our goals. In fact, nobody can help us fulfil our dreams but our own will power and determination.
ReplyDeleteLovely thoughts. We often seek inspiration among the leaders and all. But inspiration can be got from even the simplest and mundane of things around us. The idea is to continually learn and grow.
ReplyDeleteWe can be inspired by a lot of people but until we are self motivated, we will not stick to it. Discipline and hard work are equally important.
ReplyDeleteConcise and to the point, loved the take aways from this piece.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful thoughts. I agree, self motivation and inspiration is important to make a good life and to be happy.
ReplyDeleteIt is true, no one can inspire us, unless we do it ourselves. If we adhere to these points we will be inspired to go in the right direction to achieve our goals.
ReplyDeleteCompletely agreed ! Sometimes we aren't able to see how strong and talented we are because of failure.
ReplyDeleteWhat if I say this demon fear of failure motivates me to work hard? All your points are good and actually helpful for everyone. And yes, discipline is a bliss for me.
ReplyDeleteThe thing which isn't there in me is self decipline, I will try to inculcate this and another thing is fear of failure, I think I should stop thinking too much and work towards what has to be done
ReplyDeleteI agree here, the motivation and inspiration that comes from within is unparalleled.Discipline is a blessing for me as I find my work done in a proper manner , hustle free..
ReplyDeleteVery well-said. You have captured the truth of life.
