Inspire

Necessity is indeed mother of all inventions.. But many a times, it’s a motivating factor or a few inspiring words that make the difference...

In this world, there are many who exist, but a few amongst the crowd live... These few living people often do things which all of us want to do, but are unable to do. Some don't have enough time, some don't have the means, while few others find such an act just unimaginable to their limited vision..

We often find ourselves lost in this crowd... it’s a frightening thought... it’s okay to feel the fear, that's perfectly normal and human... but don't be afraid to such an extent that it (fear) overshadows your capabilities.. Finding the insurmountable human spirit will take you to the avenues, heights where others would look at you and wish they were in your shoes...
Inspiration is a feeling that keeps you going... In times when trying seems futile... Inspiration is the last step that makes the difference... The most memorable example we learnt is that of King Bruce and the spider. A battle worn almost defeated warrior seeks shelter in a cave... He's thinking of giving up and then he sees this spider trying and trying to get to the roof of the cave... falling down, but not giving up... And finally it reaches after umpteen unsuccessful attempts... Inspired by this little spider and its efforts... Our fallen hero gathers all his strength and courage and heads back to the battlefield... And the rest as they say is history... 

A legend... Thomas Alva Edison was asked once about his 999 unsuccessful attempts before he could actually built an electric bulb... He replied back saying those were not failures, instead before inventing the bulb, he found 999 ways of not making a bulb... Only an inspired and passionate person can speak such a language...

Inspiration is also the very first sail into troubled waters in search of a rainbow which will be seen when the storm resides.. At times you are faced by an uphill task... Not knowing if the results would be positive?? Conditions favorable?? Yet, something within up tells that the result would be worth the efforts... A biker saying goes like... A biker can smell a party hundred miles away... A shaky start is better than no start at all... A shaky start with some inspiration goes a long way... Again Mr. Edison's famous quote, 'intention is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration'... Indeed it’s a lot of hard work... But it also has its share of motivation...

There are people who inspire, their acts inspire, their noble intentions inspire, the words they speak become inspiration, their ideas inspire... their lives are a source of inspiration... There might be such a spark of inspiration in you too... Find out if you can change the life of the people around you... It might just be a few good words... But for others it might be the world...
