Human beings are capable of seemingly impossible feats. Octogenarians scaling mountain peaks to men doing tightrope walk over Niagara falls, all of it has been accomplished by human beings. They are of the same species as you but they seem to have an ingredient that propels them to challenge adversity. That critical ingredient is inspiration. Inspiration makes all the difference between mediocrity and earth shattering awesomeness. It can make you push the limits of your potential way beyond you ever thought possible and make you a fuller, more satisfied individual. Here are a few tips on how to be inspired.

1. Have an open mind

Your mental outlook is everything. Literally everything. You have to be willing to take a leap of faith, to believe in the improbable and rise above the comfortable normal. None of the successful entrepreneurs would have gotten where they are today if they hadn’t kept an open mind and believed in possibilities. Being a pragmatic cynic can actually enclose you within the strict confines of the mediocre and snuff out all the fighting spirit.

2. Read inspirational books

It sounds cliche. And it is. But it’s also patently true. Reading books is a great way to seek out inspiration. Good books are like maps which can guide you in the labyrinth of life. Great men and women before your time have conquered difficulties and achieved things that have made them immortal and there is nothing wrong in learning from them. If nothing else it’ll assure you that you ‘re not alone in despairing but that doggedly staying course pays off in the end!

3. Acknowledge your dreams

Take your dreams seriously. Say them aloud. Share them with people. Write them down if you must! But never ignore them. Dreams and aspirations are worth holding on to and give you the impetus and inspiration to do better. Constant goal reinforcement will keep it real and make sure you never go off track and keep the light of inspiration burning.
