As a continous searcher of inspiration, I got to the point of thinking that inspiration actually comes from people. Not from places, not from food or pictures, neither from songs or books, etc.
Why am I saying this? Well, let me ask you... Who makes places look so magical? People. Who makes that delicious, good-looking food? People. Who takes those nice-looking, fascinating pictures? People. Who writes and plays those world-forgetting, mind refreshing songs? You guess it, people. Those time-traveling, time eating books are written by people. PEOPLE. And the list can go on and on.
I always get amazed of thinking how different and unique every single person in this world is. Honestly, in my humble opinion, I think that whoever created us, is a complete GENIUS or even more than that.
I think that life is composed of three basic concepts: The journey of building ourselves, the way we impact others, and the way others make an impact in us.
And for me, that is inspiration. People, you, your own life.
And you may think you are not a source of inpiration for yourself but, who knows? It can be for others.
So those three basic concepts should be enough inspiration for a lifetime.
Life can be so unpredictable that it may scare us: the fear of failure, unhappiness, deception etc. But we are not going to be able to really live if we walk through the subway station not wanting to board the subway just because we are afraid where it might take us.
Inspiration is so necessary for living and we work so hard to find it, but we don't realize that it's so close.
It is in that aged man across the street that was part of an army.
It is in that nice elementary school teacher that taught you so much.
It is that 55 year old marriage.
In your wise father.
In your warm, lovely grandma.
In your multitasking mother.
In a life-loving fireman.
In your different perspective life-seing brother.
Inspiration is in you.
Go. Talk to people. Ask. Board the subway. Go to what you want your life to be. Inspire and get inspired.
