Who Inspires You?
Inspiration is not neutral. The people you admire, study, and model yourself after quietly shape how you think, how you act, and what you believe is possible for your life. Most people assume inspiration is always positive, but that assumption is careless. Inspiration can elevate you, distort you, or slowly pull you away from who you are meant to become.
The question is not whether you are influenced. You are. The real question is whether you are being influenced with intention or by default. Left unchecked, admiration turns into imitation, and imitation without understanding leads people to adopt behaviors, attitudes, and standards that were never meant for them.
Who you choose to be inspired by matters more than most people realize.
Chase The Match
Some people will find their motivational sparks from EXTERNAL sources. These might be found in videos on the internet, a motivational speaker, or a book that you just read. Watching and listening to speakers such as Eric Thomas or Les Brown always help to push me through some slow times.
You might find your spark from an INTERNAL source. It may be a person you work with who always gets excited about being better at what you are doing. These INTERNAL motivators can come from anyone. It also may be a negative comment that sparks us to say, “We’ll see about that.”
Whatever gives you your spark, continue to use it so you don’t get stuck along your journey.
