Nobody in the world around, if not believe us; would also deny the alleged fact as reflected in all the religious books that Human Life is the most luxurious life in comparison to the lives of all other species on earth.
The word ‘Human Being’ in itself has zillions of emotions attached to it, be it happiness, anger, confidence, ego, motivation, inspiration and the thinking ends but the emotions won’t. But in this expectedly long journey of life what keeps any person going and pushes one to move on to the next phase of life would always be the mightiest of the mighty emotion- INSPIRATION.
The Inspiration of 21st Century
For anything and everything you do in life, there needs to be a reason which inspires you to do so. But yes, as we say every coin has two sides similarly if it is a fact that you need to remain inspired to achieve the unexpected then on the flip side it is also a fact that nobody in this world can remain inspired 24*7.
It is an emotion, a feeling which you might feel at times whereas you may feel low at other times and it is normal.
The generation of today feels so low and lacks so much patience for two reasons- firstly, they want it all which they see around but actually don’t realize and actualize the hard work that goes behind it and it is not because they don’t want to see it but because they simply can’t.
In the tech-savvy world of today, we are so virtually connected and involved in some third person’s life who might be a similar age, younger or even older for that matter, that seeing them succeed and grow one feels that one can do it too but fails to recognize the backstage story.
Don’t Know What Inspires You?

Every one of us would have written write-ups on the topic- ‘ My Inspiration’ or ‘The Inspiration of my Life’ back in school days. But were you actually writing about your inspiration or were you only writing for the sake of writing an essay?
Ponder over it honestly!! And yes don’t lie to yourself! Was that person you wrote about actually somebody you want to be like? Do you actually have any inspiration.. or let me put it straight… Who is your inspiration? I can bet 95% of people would have to think about it before answering.
But if you really need to think or are thinking about the person whom you had or can fit in with, you are on the wrong path. Fitting a person in that inspiration block of yours is not less than fitting a square peg in a round hole.
Let’s Understand Inspiration
The globally accepted meaning for Inspiration is- the state of being stimulated to do something. In simple words, it is something that enables you to transfer the way you perceive your own capabilities and hence makes you believe that your imagination/fantasy always has a probability of becoming a possibility.
Not even a single person can be inspired by one particular individual because what inspires us is not the physical being but the qualities of a person. Whenever you think about someone you would have always wanted to become like -It is because of his/her traits.
So, what inspires us is the particular characteristic that our alleged inspiration has. The other aspect to this could be that you are inspired by an individual because of the pedestal he/she is standing on today.
So, what you really want is the same respect, power, money, or status that person has in society. For the rest 5%, if you are still inspired by a man or woman then it would mean that your square pegs would have aptly fit the round holes. Have they?
In a nutshell, if anybody poses this alien question - Who is your inspiration? Tell that somebody - It is your dreams, your parent’s smile and love, it is the qualities you want to have and the platform you want to be on, it is the thirst of becoming a better version of myself every single day. Lastly, tell him, the correct question is -What is your inspiration?
