being an INSPIRATION

Everybody wants to inspire somebody. But what does it take to be an inspiration?

An Inspiration is influential because they choose to stand out. They believe deeply and walk it out. Breathe deeply and sing it out. See something and point it out. They are fearless, confident, intentional.

We all want to be inspired, but few of us are willing to do the hard steps that it takes to be Inspirational. Being inspirational means doing something that others aren’t capable of or willing to do.
  • Sticking with it when it’s difficult. 
  • Choosing to lay bitterness aside in order to forgive the unforgivable.
  • Running when the weather is miserable.
  • Inviting someone you hate out for coffee.
  • Doing what it takes to admit you were wrong. 

“People mistakenly assume that their thinking is done by their head;
it is actually done by the heart which first dictates the conclusion,
then commands the head to provide the reasoning that will defend it.”
[Anthony de Mello]
