Inspiration is such a huge part of who we are as people. Without it how are we to be motivated? Where would we be without the freedom of expression? Think about it: why are sites such as YouTube and Facebook so unbelievably successful? Because they allow people to express themselves in a way they feel comfortable.
And to inspire holds such a power to influence unlike any other. We humble humans have this misconception that associates the responsibility to inspire to people such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Oprah Winfrey. We view it as an unobtainable concept due to lack of care or lack of an audience.
I would just like to point out that maybe I'm completely wrong about all of this. It is perfectly plausible that I have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about.
For me inspiration comes from random sources like the artwork in Donkey Coffee or one of hpzz's hilarious tweets. My strongest source of inspiration stems from traveling and how my endeavors have molded me. Inspiration can be anything that you make it. Being inspirational should be part of every person's daily goal. The difficult part is not being content with merely satisfying your own needs, but to be motivated enough to mobilize others.
I want to encourage to open your mind to the idea that every decision you make affects, maybe even inspires people. Some people define themselves by what they do, others by what they say. Instead of defining who you are, maybe all you should care about is how you impact others…or fail to.
“Think globally.
Act locally.” - Social activist Patrick Geddes
