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 strik...

No matter what religion you follow, or if you don't follow any. The purpose of life is to seek happiness. At first, happiness seems very easy to have but in reality its the complete opposite. Happiness is not affected by the environment around you, it is all about how well your mind is trained. Here mind means the spirit, the soul and not merely the human brain. The word 'happy' is derived from the Icelandic word 'happ' meaning luck or chance. The goal is not to achieve personal happiness, that is very self-indulgent. Research has shown that people who are feeling happy are more likely to have the willingness to help others.

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.
