Have you ever taken the time to sit back and analyze what truly inspires you? We often get inspired by other’s actions or insight, but have you ever actually sat down and made a list of the things that make you happy, passionate, teary, just plain have emotion? I find that there are many in life that just live through others and don’t take the time to tap into the true inner passions of themselves. Then we never feel complete fulfilled and even get left feeling empty.

We all have differences and we need to be able to acknowledge them.  Those are what makes us all unique and special.  I don’t expect everyone to feel as I do about everything I talk and write about.  In fact I love to hear other people’s true views when they disagree with me.  Other people’s views may deepen my own or could very easily chance my perspective and I love that. Be passionate about what YOU want and desire in life.  Stop letting other people define what is good for YOU.  Be ok with other people not agreeing with your opinions but never be afraid to stand up for what you truly believe it.

Inspiration comes from so many facets of our lives. Some of us are creative, some analytical, others are very logical.  We as people need to accept that about each other and not judge others for what they believe and find inspiration in.  We are all made up of different DNA remember.  Every molecule in our make up creates differences in us all.

This starts with our children I am seeing being a mother of two very gifted children in their own special way.  Society tells us that we should strive to be the best but what exactly is the best really?  Being the best in one’s field is great as long as you enjoy what it is that you are doing.  Now if you are great at what you do but you don’t find Inspiration in doing it then are you truly the best at it?  People do things at times just because that is what they have fallen into and have become good at.  Does that mean they are passionate about it all the time? Do they get up every morning inspired to do what it is they do or do they hate it but do it because that is what everyone believes they “should” do to be a productive part of or society?

Does it scare anyone else that more people die from suicide than from homicide? This statistic really got me thinking.  If people were able to do what they were truly passionate about and stopped living their lives for others and the way others believed their lives should be lived, would this statistic still be the same?

Take a moment after you read this post and truly sit down and think about 5 things that inspire you to get up every morning and write them down.  Then think about 5 things you do in your live that make you sad that you have to do because society says doing it differently is not acceptable.  Once you have these lists, ask yourself is there anything on your Inspiration List that can replace anything on your Negative List?  Take charge of your future by acknowledging who you are inside and accept that person.  We all have our passions…What are yours?
