What Inspires You?

Inspiration comes in a variety of ideas and concepts, all containing a meaning for each individual. Everyone’s inspirations are different and allow for that individual to reach a goal or stay focused on a creative project.

1. The power of music is inspirational. One song can change your mood and lift your spirits. Although everyone’s preferred music tastes are different, all music is similar in that it evokes and allows people to present their emotions. There is music to fit everyone’s preferred music taste, which provides a way for everyone to express themselves within the concept of inspiration.

2. The idea of a support system of family and friends gives an individual the encouragement for them to follow their inspirations. Within their family and friendship dynamic, there is the knowledge of knowing that there will always be someone close to them to support them in their dreams. A support system allows you to express your inspirations freely without the judgment or the fear of disapproval (which will allow for growth and flourishing dreams and goals).

3. Positive people can inspire a stadium full of others which, in turn, spreads positivity across a location. These individuals demonstrate a sense of inspiration by promoting positivity and the concept of encouraging thoughts. These people can be random passerbys, professors, celebrities, youtubers’ or (and oftentimes) an individual of power. These individuals are the promoters of changing the world for the better and acceptance of individuals as they are presented. This lifts an individual’s spirits and gives them a sense that ambitions can be achieved.

4. Memories can be the most inspired influences in any individual’s life. They can give someone the power to change or alter their lives for the better. With memories being the building blocks to all goals and dreams, there is process of being inspired from and improving those memories.

When you think about your life and what you want from it, what do you think is inspiring you to reach your goals and dreams?
