Every once in a while, we come across folks who choose to live their life as an inspiration. Now, inspiration is relative. What inspires you may not necessarily inspire me. If you are an artist, Da Vinci might be inspiring while, if you are a footballer, Lionel Messi may be the one for you.
Da Vinci and Messi, though, are stars. They are great examples, but it stops there. In real life though, you are likely to be inspired by people circumstance brings you together with. Life has a funny way of connecting people. You tend to attract, by means of what you do, the kind of people you like to your life.
What we tend to find is that we are likely to find many friends amongst these folks life brings us in contact with. Many good friends. We are likely to find that the more we open our heart to such friends, the more space we have for more.
Amongst these friends, however, we will most probably find a choice few that inspire us. It’s funny I use the word choice because these few choose to live life as inspiration.
Find them. Stick with them. Shower them with gifts, love and affection. Seek their counsel when you are in need of help. Whatever you do, don’t let them go. They’re precious. Every moment you spend with them will likely be a learning experience. The learning may come in very different forms thanks to their inherent uniqueness but there is no doubt that you will learn more than you can even digest.
And, once you’ve completed your Jedi training, pass on what you’ve learnt from them.
i.e. Find and get inspired by people around us and learn from them. Be inspirational ourselves and pass it on to others.
i.e. Find Heroes. Be a Hero.
Because we all are the Hero’s of our own life. We just need to begin acting the part.
