What is the definition of ‘inspiration’? This is a difficult question, as inspiration will always mean different things to different people. Everyone is inspired in unique ways.
So, although the dictionary definition of inspiration may be
'stimulation of the mind or emotions to a high level of feeling or activity'
ultimately it is up to each of us to determine what inspires us. After all, being inspired is a state of mind. However you will probably agree that you are inspired when
•you have a zest for life
•you make choices that are best for you
•you are living the life you desire
Most successful women admit that they were not blessed with any special talents or abilities that others missed out on. And they admit that being inspired isn’t dependent upon some huge advantage that others don’t have. We all have the ability to be inspired. So the key to inspiration is to determine what inspires us, acknowledge our skills and talents and put them to good use. The hand we are dealt at birth and through life isn’t nearly as important as what we do with it!
Here’s a little blurb that was sent to me recently right along these lines.
If you want to be rich, successful, and great, and you want it all with minimal effort, then your primary focus must be on doing something that meets any one of the following criteria:
* You love doing it.
* It races your blood.
* It challenges your creativity.
* It is absorbing, passion inspiring, and joyful.
* It is so compelling that you would do it even if there were no
money involved.
It's so simple. When you experience any one of the above, it means you are in love with what you do. Once you are in love with what you do, success then unfolds in the following way:
If you love what you are doing, it ceases being work.
The more you love what you are doing, the more you spontaneously
commit to it.
The greater your commitment, the deeper the knowledge you gain.
The deeper the knowledge, the more powerful the knowledge.
The more powerful your knowledge, the easier it is to achieve success, because deep, powerful
knowledge is the key to inspired thinking and finding intelligent
solutions to problems.
And with that deeper knowledge you quickly recognize opportunities
and pounce on the best ones.
But it all starts with loving what you do.
I wish you great inspiration in all that you do.
