In an effort to keep up my mentality of Inspire, Motivate, and Energize, I thought I’d actually write about what it means. I often say it now so an explanation is well deserved. I feel that if everyone had this mentality, they would be a happier person and have a better outlook on life. First up: Inspire

Inspire- “fill (someone) with the urge or ability to do or feel something, esp. to do something creative”

How does one become inspired? I believe it is seeking the outside world for inspiration. Whether it is dance, music, art, math, a sport, etc. there is something out there for all of us. Having a talk about simple things about a particular activity always inspires me to be better than I was before. It’s hard to describe the feeling unless you’ve experienced it, but to me it excites me and I think of all the possibilities in the particular field. It’s almost as if I know I can do anything as long I follow through with it.

So what are your Inspirations- what keeps you hyped about the things you do? Take a minute to find out or take the time to start seeking it out. I refuse to believe people don’t have inspiration and to people who say they don’t- then I feel sorry for you. Know that there is always inspiration around you and it’s just a matter of knowing it and taking ownership of it. Be Inspired, it’s the first step.

Quest Crew, Poreotics, IaMmE, Movement Lifestyle, my Sifus from kung fu, my coaches and teammates in squash, my friends back home, my advisor- they all inspire me and feed my hunger for it. I’m already getting hyped just thinking about it all which is a perfect segway into the next part: Motivation.
