Hold On To Your Inspiration

We need to hold on to what inspires us

Hold On To Your Inspiration
nischalram.com

This particular bit of writing isn’t going to be good. Inspiration is a deciding factor when it comes to doing a job well. Inspiration is something that comes and goes in life, it’s hard to create and even harder to find.

The biggest problem when we lose our inspiration, the worst part of it all is ourselves, because after we lose something we tend to dwell on it for far too long. Not to say that mourning is bad or that we just need to get over the things we lose, because mourning is important for self-growth and mourning is only human.

We spend time hoping that inspiration will come to us, and it will because it always does. You can’t create it, you can only find it. We waste all of this time just waiting for it to come back to us when we could be proactive and try to seek it out. Instead, we waste days with work that is produced solely for the reason of being produced and not for the purpose of expressing our own thoughts and creating something we are proud of.

If we aren’t proud of what we make then how can we be proud of who we are?

I hate some of the things I’ve made and when I do my opinion of myself is lessened. It is my own fault for producing less than my best and for waiting around for the same inspiration I had weeks ago. I am the problem and in many cases, it seems that the biggest things holding us back are ourselves.

We have to accept change, we have to accept that things aren’t always going to be the same even under the best of circumstances.

Inspiration is all around us. The world is full of it and it’s ripe for the picking. We experience the best growth when new things happen, when we change and when we find new inspiration. Finding this growth is important because the best thing we can do is become better versions of our past selves.

Find what inspires you to be better. Bettering ourselves is one of the greatest things we can do for the world around us. The greatest causation of change in this world is inspiration.

If you still have inspiration you need to hold on to it and use it to the fullest potential. Inspiration does come to us but it isn’t something in a surplus to be looked lightly upon. Furthermore, if you have some sort of inspiration and you don’t use it you are wasting one of the best gifts known to man. Do not waste the opportunities that we have because not everyone gets to be inspired in the same way that others are.

We cannot waste the inspiration we have because we will truly miss it when it’s gone. So try and make the most of everything you have.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
