What's An Inspiration

2 Tim. 3:16-17 

"All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work."

It's to be an image of God!

It's to be yourself. Not afraid of being bold and creative.  

Inspirations are the things we do that inspire other people on a daily basis.

It’s that sudden good idea that pups up in our mind that makes us do things that other people admire and want to be like us or do the same.

To be an inspirational person you must have the ability and willingness to be bold, selfless, creative, innovative and courageous enough to be yourself.  You must be someone who’s not afraid of taking chances, being criticized or ridiculed. You must be creative an strongly believe in yourself independent of what others may think or say. One of the greatest ways to inspire is to serve as a mentor, a giver. More importantly, you must learn to be  completely open to those you're trying to reach honest and transparent so they can believe in you completely. If you are not totally authentic in your advice to them, you’ll be wasting your time.

But, to be an inspiration to others first we must believe in ourselves and be true to ourselves. Be proud of who we are and what we have accomplished no matter how big or small they are. This will inspire those around us to do the same.

Beside inspiring ourselves to create great ideias, we also need to be creative in order to inspire and motivate ourselves in a daily basis so we can put them into practice. It’s one thing to have a great idea and talk about it – it’s something completely different to actually put the idea into practice.

To be an inspiration you don’t necessarily have to do extraordinary things or think you must reach multitude of people, or can only be great or recognized if everybody knows what you have done. That’s not true!  Sometimes the most inspiring people in the world go completely unnoticed, - that is to the human eyes, but not to the eyes of God.

People who inspires the most are the ones who does small things in a daily basis to better their family, friends and co-workers lives. Or even to mentor a youth. You just need to know that by stepping out of your comfort zone to better someone’s life, you already making a difference.

 Sometimes we loose the opportunity of being an inspirational because we fail to see the greatness of God in ourselves and others --- just because we’re too busy judging and focusing in negative.
