INSPIRATION....
The word itself has so much to offer. However obvious this permutation of the
11 letters may seem, this word inspires a lot of people. It inspires them, to
look for something/someone which for them is an illuminating source for their journey,
to chum out maximum creative juices , to help carry on their work and the list
goes on . In short inspiration is a necessity.
Are
you an artist? Or someone with creative skills? You just cannot complete your
work if you’re not inspired. While some artists are inspired by nature, others
are inspired by humans and their ways of living. We all have different sources.
Some of us need to look within for inspiration, while others have to look
outwards. There is actually no golden answer when it comes to finding an inspiration.
Also, there can be multiple answers for an individual. I find inspiration in
many things. When I look back at my life, I see that I have been inspired by different
things at different times. When I was in my early teens, I was inspired by
music. While I still enjoy music, I don’t want to be a musician anymore. As
times change, our inspirations and role models change.
What
things my inner me finds inspiring now, are things which I have realized and
felt during the 18 years of my life.
The
thing that inspires me the most to carry on, move on and on and on, I call it
THE GUIDING LIGHT.
The realization that every
individual has boundless potential and unless and until the effort goes into grooming, refining and sharpening their skills, it would all go waste.
It
took me almost 14 years to ‘discover it’. The guiding light, it has helped me
to continue times of difficulties where I thought I wasn’t good enough, I can’t
do it and such related self- destructive thoughts.
The
NATURE , The WORLD , its boundless beauties , its limitless secrets , so much
to learn , so much to explore , in such a short span of life , inspires me to
push myself harder and harder.
Strikes
a chord of your heart? WAR STORIES does
that to me. Soldiers sacrificing their lives for their country without even
giving a second thought, inspires me to do something productive which helps my
country progress, come out of this vicious circle of poverty, unemployment and corruption
and once again be called the ‘SONE KI CHIDIYA’.
Now
something interesting. OFF-LINE CONVERSATIONS inspire me. Discussing about some
random topic gives me immense pleasure. It stimulates my brain and develops the
power to think of the same picture from a large number of ‘angles’ and ‘sides’.
And
lastly FOOTBALL. I just love this game.
Although I’m not excellent at it but still it is the love of my life. It teaches me, however guarded your goal is,
there is always a way to reach it, however fast and skilled a player is, there
is always a way to stop him.
“The more
difficulties one has to encounter, within and without, the more significant and
higher in inspiration his life will be”
- Horace
Bushnell
