What is Inspiration



Inspiration : what does it mean? (from my dictionary) it says: Someone or something that causes this state. Stimulation or arousal of the mind, feelings, to a special activity or creativity.

Inspire: what does that mean? (relating to inspiration) it says: To guide or arouse by Divine Influence or inspiration. To exert a stimulating or beneficial effect upon a person.


When we want to be inspired or looking for inspiration it means we are looking for change, we want to create a shift in our awareness, to change our subconscious way of thinking.

We could be looking for inspiration to be in a constantly happy state, become more motivated, create more confidence, strive for financial success, attract romance, attain a business goal, finish off that novel.

Many great spiritual leaders, business leaders, leaders in writing, poets, musicians, artists, etc all became an authority in their field because they had a desire to be the best they could be. And to be the best, they took certain steps.

They looked to others (mentors in the same field and beyond) for inspiration and guidance and with that inspiration they tap into their own creative minds and set about becoming successful.


“The effect is the result of taking action from the inspiration we have sought.”

Where do I find my Inspiration…

Your environment - Think about teachers or family members who you have learnt from and looked up to. Inspiration in the workplace, we spend many hours each week with other people, are they successful? What inspires them? Workout at the gym? Take a look around the posters on the walls and read the quotes, it inspires me each time why I go there and to finish that last set.

You Read - There are zillions of books of inspirational authors, Napoleon Hill, Wayne D. Dwyer, Anthony Robbins, Joseph Murphy, just a small handful of successful people who combined desire, inspiration, imagination, faith. In these books you will find many examples of inspiration.

You Listen - Have children? Child inspiration can be very rewarding, their quirky remarks and innocently helpful ways can be a bright inspiration for anyone. Music is inspiring, listening to your favourite musician have inspired many.

You Write - Letters of inspiration, write down all quotes on inspiration, plant the quotes around your workplace, home, have them in your car, everywhere to get inspired to create. I have my email account pop up every hour with quotes to instill positive reinforcement, everyday.

You Talk - Talk to others who are successful, who are their mentors of inspiration? when you talk the talk and get in with people who you want to be like, you will become inspired to be successful in your journey.

You are grateful - Be grateful you want change, when you are truly grateful for the things you have in life, that is inspiration in itself. Having your health, your beautiful mind, family and mother earth. Inspiration is not just about being inspired from books, poems, etc it is also a combination of gratitude, faith, belief, imagination, love, and laughter.

Write out some of these quotes on gratitude and place them around you, get into the moment of being grateful and inspired.

You have Faith - Faith is what comes after the inspiration, when you have true faith, it conquers all! Faith is the magic potion to success, happiness, health, everything you have and want out of life. When you get inspired to do create, your true faith in your ability sets like concrete and gives you the desire result you were looking for.

Read these quotes on faith - think them, memorise them, feel them.

You Love - (everyone) You cannot be inspired if you do not love. Love is to have your heart truly open to everything and everyone around you. The more love that flows from your being, the more love that comes back to you. It’s like a whirlpool, it generates an endless energy of happiness, peace and beautiful emotions that goes round and round.

Here are quotes of love that I felt inspiring, they alter you emotions by your thoughts and inspire you to open your heart.


Whatever it is you desire, inspiration will give it to you…if you let it!
