In my eyes, inspiration can be anything, anyone. Inspiration is all around us and can appear at a moment’s notice. We are all inspired by different things in different ways. Personally, I would describe it as an impulse. It feels like a sudden lightning that hits you inside and expands its brightness through your body and soul.
Inspiration is actually when the four main forces of a human being meet: when your heart, soul, brain and guts come together. A magical moment that boosts your creativity, your decisiveness, your self-confidence. It is the conception of ideas that will take you to your first steps towards your dreams. And it may catch you in the middle of the night, or in the shower, while cooking or on your way to work. A one-shot boost not to be missed.
What is Inspiration doing to you? And most importantly, what are you doing with Inspiration?
Below these lines, I share some of my sources of inspiration, what enlightens and gets me ready take on another expedition along my journey of self-awareness, personal growth and professional development.
