Inspiration does nothing; it just evokes what you already had in your heart. Today I will tell you a story to let you know that inspiration is not what you see in other’s character. Inspiration is when you understand yourself.It is not what you can imitate from others, it is what you can innovate. It is not how about achieving big things; it is enjoying the small things.
Like any other sane human being, he had his own aspirations. He was giving life the best he could, yet he was dejected. He had already read biographies of many personalities and was so motivated that he knew only one thing, work hard & succeed.Weeks went by, months went by, and three years later he was still living the same monotonous life. But this guy forgot the meaning of success; in fact he forgot the purpose of life is to live a life of purpose. He forgot how to live and how to love.He knew how to smile at his customers but never smiled at a 2 year old playing in a garden. He could name any ice-cream flavor just by smell, but could never name any flower he saw. The connect with the nature was absent; in fact he could never get connected with himself.He was so dejected that he visited a Psychiatrist who told him to take a break and visit natural places. Then for the first time in his life he prayed to God, and asked him. I am living my life and still not happy, what is life then?While he was sleeping an angel came in to his dreams. She was pure, serene and calm. Her ambience was so powerful that he woke from his sleep and smiled for the first time.He asked her the same question, what is life then?She said, “Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind.”He asked, so where do I see life? She held her hand and then started their journey to learn life.The guy started to smile as they were walking together. She took him into woods, showed him how sun rises. She took him to garden and told how flower of palash flourishes. She explained how Jack-Fruit grows and how it tastes. There is life in everything, understand you will realize the meaning of life. She gave him a white flower and told her to feel its calmness. The poor guy started to find his connect with nature. She said life is when you stop on a flyover and enjoy the pleasant breeze that strike your face.Life is when you move out of your house and enjoy the rain drops falling on your face.
