RE: IFC S1 R38 entry - Motivation/Inspiration

Inspire others by inspiring yourself

This is an excellent message! The way we can inspire others is by leading by example, so if we can inspire ourselves to be a better example, then we can inspire others more too. :D

I believe the trick to rescuing yourself from the pit of despair and non-engagement is just forcing yourself to look harder for the moments of magic and joy, the truly amazing things that are all around us in every situation, even the most mundane!

Well said! I totally agree and wish more people could appreciate this kind of message. Sometimes even the simplest of things are the most amazing.. Like.. How did a speck of sand ever truly get here? And if you look at it up close it looks beautiful. Even a speck of sand is beautiful if you take the time to look!

So, to sum up, I believe the key to motivation and inspiring yourself and therefore others is the joy of continual discovery!

Hmm.. Interesting.. I can vibe with that! Constantly searching for new boundaries and new understandings. For sure.

However, even if you have done something a million times, there is always something new to discover!

Very true and good point, this is why I try to never say something was a waste, there's always something to learn if you look hard enough. Which I think can be an incredibly valuable mindset to have. I see so many people get upset at so many trivial things cause it didn't go their way. But.. Just cause it didn't go their way doesn't mean there wasn't something to be learned there.
Thanks for the motivating entry! I'm definitely more inspired! :D

Thanks, keeping ourselves inspired is difficult and too often we look to feed from the inspiration of others! Which is okay as well, but if it becomes a habit then it is a problem!
