Use Your Power to Inspire

What is that inspires us?  For most ordinary people having a human experience is the stories and knowledge of those who have become before us, who have done extraordinary things,  Those who had had a hand in changing the world, through their abilities, passion, choices, willingness, creative innovation, and ideas. Those with a selfless heart to be authentic, inspiring, and just plain different!

People such as Abraham Lincoln, Mozart, Princess Diana, Mother Teresa, Winston Churchill, Gandhi, Jesus Christ, Thomas Jefferson, Muhammad, Rosa Parks, Nikola Tesla, Albert Einstein, Leonardo Da Vinci, Krishna, Galileo, Constantine, Nelson Mandela, Marcus Aurelius, Cicero, Joan of Arc, Dalai Lama, Bill Gates, Aristotle, William Shakespeare, Steve Jobs, Confucius, Mohammed Ali, and Martin Luther King Jr. among many others are included on my personal very long list of inspiring people.

But all of those inspiring people listed above were “ordinary” people of their time who decided that they would make a difference in the world and share their gifts despite nearly impossible odds, tremendous opposition, personal sacrifice, suffering, loss, judgment, and opinions.

Inspiring people are true leaders who believe in themselves, on their cause, their passions, and plans and were willing to live an authentic life in service to others, society, our planet; and many made a real change in the human condition. There are many people not listed that make a difference every single day and do things that inspire all of us!  Those are the people we want to be around who inspire us to be better, bigger than ourselves, kinder, more caring compassionate and make a difference in the world one day at a time.

The beautiful and amazing thing about inspiration is the “ordinary” part of the human journey becomes “extraordinary.” Through the powers of free-will, determination, passion, purpose, positivity, desire, focus, mindfulness, education, knowledge, wisdom and most importantly to the power of choice among the many roads of life. What inspires us? Who inspires us? What tires us? Who tires us? The choice is always ours to make.



All humans during their life will be presented with choices; to face decisions, you don’t need to feel necessarily alone. We can always look into history, through the inspiring stories of people: our friends, family, mentors, guides; or books to help us with our many decisions, or to simply see a clearer path up the mountain to the summit.

But all of those are just opinions based on another’s perspective on life.

The true “guidance system” and power to enact a change will always come from within through the internal whispers of the heart and soul and the “choice” to either listen and follow or ignore and walk away. What inspires us? What tires us?

The inspiring people who change lives whether, from the past, present, and those still yet to come in the future, are not generally born into greatness. They usually don’t become instant inspiring leaders of change. But they all  had made a choice at some point in life that they will no longer be afraid to be who they are, how the world sees them, and start to live life with determination, heart, purpose, passion or what some would call “living an authentic life.” 

No matter what we feel, what we have achieved, where we come from, or where we currently are on our own journey, all of us can inspire, make a change and give back leaving a legacy that will live on a lot longer than we will. Inspiring others, helping others,” paying it forward,” or giving back is some of the most amazing and powerful experiences we can have as humans.

We never know who we are going to impact the power of giving back and through inspiration, but if all of us “give it a go.” Not for the sake of being remembered by history, or being famous, but we because we may leave behind not only a blueprint for making real change in the world but also a ripple effect that can be felt for generations yet to come.

We have the potential and the power of choice to be a great inspiration to ourselves and those around us on a daily basis.  Should we ask ourselves daily, what inspires us, who inspires us, what tires us?
