Inspiration, Who are your inspiration?
What is Inspiration? What inspires us? How do we keep a check on these inspirations?
There has been many people over the 20th Century who have inspired the community and people around the planet, they have ranged from politicians, sports men and women, actors and actresses, other dignitaries and public figures. What was it about these people that they were so much in awe by others? What made them different from everyday folk like the likes of you and me? What did they have that we do not? What is it that inspires us when we think of such people.
I have many people whom I have been inspired by, they include, Ghandi, Nelson Mandella, Martin Luther King Jr, Jesus, Mohammed to name a few. People like Jesus and Mohammed are beyond comparison as they take on a completely different realm of consciousnesses, inspiration, guidance and leadership.
Many people talk about Ghandi, Nelson Mandella, Martin Luther King Jr, but almost nobody put their principles into practice let alone their own. Some people would say these were special men and we are not. I would say we are all special and can make a difference, I would say it’s not enough for us to say, I don’t like wars, racism, domestic violence, poverty, It’s not enough to write a poem about the war….etc. We are part of the all problems in our world. If we don’t act now then the all good work that went before us would seem to be futile and a tremendous waste which will lead to further problems, issues and concern for the future generation.
From my perspective although I try to live my life by their and my own principles, they all had one thing that set them apart from the others, they had a clear vision, unwaivering belief and an abundance of faith. I don’t believe in this generation enough people have a cause strong enough to their principles or their desires that they are willing to give up or sacrifice their status quo to stand up and be counted. One man can make a difference if he has a clear vision and a goal, with the fire in his belly and a believe that is so strong it does not feel a sacrifice or a chore, he has to be selfless and see the bigger picture, he has such a conviction he could move mountains to make it happen.
What inspires you? What could or would you do such that you will become an inspiration to others? Do you have a vision that is greater than you? Could this vision be realised or manifested?
I believe it is now time to change ourselves for the better good, it is the time for enlightenment, self awareness to strive for world peace, we can still save ourselves and our planet. Start looking at ourselves, look deep into our soul and listen to what it is telling us.
