What Inspires You?
topvoyager

Inspiration comes in a variety of ideas and concepts, all containing a meaning for each individual. Everyone’s inspirations are different and allow for that individual to reach a goal or stay focused on a creative project.

1. The power of music is inspirational. One song can change your mood and lift your spirits. Although everyone’s preferred music tastes are different, all music is similar in that it evokes and allows people to present their emotions. There is music to fit everyone’s preferred music taste, which provides a way for everyone to express themselves within the concept of inspiration.

2. The idea of a support system of family and friends gives an individual the encouragement for them to follow their inspirations. Within their family and friendship dynamic, there is the knowledge of knowing that there will always be someone close to them to support them in their dreams. A support system allows you to express your inspirations freely without the judgment or the fear of disapproval (which will allow for growth and flourishing dreams and goals).

3. Positive people can inspire a stadium full of others which, in turn, spreads positivity across a location. These individuals demonstrate a sense of inspiration by promoting positivity and the concept of encouraging thoughts. These people can be random passerbys, professors, celebrities, youtubers’ or (and oftentimes) an individual of power. These individuals are the promoters of changing the world for the better and acceptance of individuals as they are presented. This lifts an individual’s spirits and gives them a sense that ambitions can be achieved.

4. Memories can be the most inspired influences in any individual’s life. They can give someone the power to change or alter their lives for the better. With memories being the building blocks to all goals and dreams, there is process of being inspired from and improving those memories.

When you think about your life and what you want from it, what do you think is inspiring you to reach your goals and dreams?

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.
