Week 34: Inspire or Get Inspired

• Copying others’ ways to the same destination does not guarantee to get you there. Verify the factors affecting your own experience, and select your way accordingly.

• There is always a chance to be inspired by others’ journeys even if their destinations are different than yours.

• It is not about being right or wrong; it is your confidence that inspires others.

• You are strong as far as you can inspire or be inspired. Your weakness arises when you copy others or feel afraid of being deservedly inspired by their actions.

• Inspiration is not just a decision; it is a deep belief.

• Consider your previous successes as a good source to inspire yourself. But do not forget your failures as they are no less an important source of inspiration.

• Inspiration is a kind of a healthy infection. However, it can spread among people involved in different-natured activities.

• Inspiration has an easy access to people with open hearts and open minds.

• To make sure that you got inspired and did not just copy others, give yourself some time to think about what you genuinely admired, and then do it your own way.

• Becoming inspired is an unconscious behavior. However, it is better to be aware of what inspires you.

• Knowing what inspired you helps to inspire you further.

• Do not limit your chances to get inspired by focusing on those you think are better than you. Inspiration is available around you more widely than you think.
