What does Inspiration mean to you


What is an inspiration and how can you tap into it when you need to become inspired?

I'll give you examples of Steve Jobs when he was looking for inspiration. The Oxford dictionary defines inspiration as the process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially to do something creative. We usually think that the one sudden incident makes a person inspirational. But that is not true. As it is given in the definition of inspiration in the dictionary, inspiration isn't one single incident instead it is a process. All of us are different and unique, we feel inspired in different ways as well. We have to think about which one suits the best for us. Think of what were you doing or what made you inspire the last time. People can find their inspiration in books, nature, music etc. All of the scenarios that can make you inspire have one thing in common, which is that they are completely under your control. You don't have to wait for inspiration to strike you, seize the moment and begin now. TedTalks is a very great way to feel inspired and motivated. I often, when in need of self-motivation, watch TedTalks on YouTube and it does wonder. Listening to people who achieved so much in life and sharing their valuable experiences with you is great to spark up your brain cells. Steve Jobs said, "We have always been shameless about stealing ideas." It means that we expose ourselves to the best things that humans have done and then try to mold it in our own unique style.

The Psychology of self motivation

What is it like feeling empowered? If you want to know if you feel empowered, ask yourself three questions: Can you do it? Will it work? Is it worth it? If your answer is yes for all them, you feel empowered. This is based on research. One feels self-motivated, competent when they receive recognition for their hard work. We are controlled by our consequences, we think so much before doing what scares us that the fear starts to drive us. Believe that you have a choice of not doing it, it will make you feel relaxed and self-motivated. There is nothing that you can't do if you have made up your mind on it. You are the universe's most evolved and advanced species, there is no one smarter, more intelligent or ahead of you. There might be some difficulties in your way, but let me tell you, these difficulties make it worth so much. Because nothing having worthwhile, comes easy. Obstacles mean you're going the right way, you just have to keep on going in that direction,...

Tips on how to save money the right way

1. Save before you spend You need to know what money is a fixed outcome each month e.g. rent/bills. The best way to do this is split the different expenditures over two bank accounts and that way you know exactly what you have to spend. It quite easy to open a savings account online and manage this with online banking. Keep the fixed amount of rents separate so that you never by mistake spend too much. 2. Reduce the unnecessary spending Identify what you are spending your money on. Is it too many shoes or too many takeouts a week? Either way, there is something that we just can’t help from buying, and we don’t necessarily need it. Find out what is that is. 3.
