Inspiration

The title speaks for itself. All of us need inspiration in our lives to achieve greatness. We are put on this earth as souls having a human experience rather than human beings having a soulful experience.

We can do better than what we think we can do. We only have ourselves to limit our achievements. As one of my favourite movie stars Will Smith said in a television interview; 'We are not the first human beings to walk this earth, human beings have lived and died thousands of years ago and whatever good or mistakes that we encounter in our lives has already been encountered in one way or another". We have to look to the past to learn the mistakes and avoid them for the future. We cannot be Prisoners of Our Past,rather we have to be Architects of the Future.

The world has seen so many heroes, from the ancient times of Alexander the Great, Napolean Bonaparte, Genghis Khan, Jesus Christ and great civilizations with kings and leaders to present time heroes in their own capacities such as Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King as leaders of nations and causes to leaders in business such as Sir Richard Branson of the Virgin brand and Tony Fernandes of AirAsia.

Be it in any one field that we choose whether sports, music, politics, business etc. We are deemed to find someone that we inspire to be like and on top of that even better than that person. Its our guide in life that we need similar to a beacon of light in the darkness to guide us through a path.

If we put our minds and souls to whatever cause we want to achieve and believe we can do it, there's nothing that will stop us. Positive thinking with self believe will help us propel towards success. We have to keep looking at our lucky stars for inspiration and we will shine just as much and even better.

We have to inspire to be inspired !
