Inspiration That Counts

Inspiration That Counts

We all hope and dream that we can be able to inspire ourselves and others to be the best  they can be. But I'm sure many of us have been wondering how do we even start.

You have even been asking yourself, do I have what it takes to inspire others and be an inspirational figure in the lives of others?

Don't worry, for I am here to teach you that you can inspire others too. But first, this may come as a shock to you to hear this from me, but inspiration alone is not enough.
Yes, oh yes you heard me loud and clear, if you want to inspire people and make them great, having inspiration alone is not enough.

You need to have self belief. Not power or to be in a leadership position.

Many people think to begin to inspire people, you must first be a leader or be in a leadership position. But that's wrong. This is because like you and me every one of us is different. You are different, I am different. No one here on this earth has the same talent or gift as the next person. Even twins from the same womb don't have or share the same talent or gift.
This is why you must from today get it out of your head that you must first be a leader before you can inspire yourself or others. And because you have this mindset, you think you cannot do anything to change something.  I'm sure you must be thinking there must be some special group of people or leaders who can inspire people or influence people in a positive way.
Well, I'm here to tell you today, you can do it too. It doesn't matter if you are born rich or poor, educated or uneducated, whether you have powerful friends or not. Whether you can speak well to thousands of people or not, you can inspire too..
Here are a few things to help you measure yourself first to know if you can inspire or influence people in a positive way;

• *Trust* : can you be trusted as a person.? Can people count on you to do what you say you will do. Can people trust your Yes to be a yes and your No to be a No??  Do you even trust yourself enough to do these things you say you want to do. If you can see inside yourself that you are trustworthy and show good results for it with other people, then you can qualify to inspire others.  So be trustworthy.

• *Courage* :  If you wish to inspire or influence others, you must not be a weak person. Weak people are always afraid or scared to take decisions. They are not bold or brave enough to take their own decisions. They are always afraid to speak the truth because they fear what people will say about them. If you are not brave or courageous, please don't bother  yourself to want to inspire others.

• *Empathy* : If you dream of inspiring yourself or others to make change. Let me ask you this; do you care about other people or you just care about you and yourself only. How do you respond or react if you see someone in trouble who needs your help? Think about it and look deep inside yourself. If you cannot help yourself or others in need, don't even think about inspiring people.

• *Equality And Accountability:* Are you the type of person who always sees yourself more important than anybody else? If you can't tolerate different people and listen to different advice and suggestions, this article is not for you. Please go and sleep. You must first see everyone as equal, including yourself. Watch and follow up on things you ask people to do. Follow up to see if they are doing well or not. If not, how can they do better.

Everybody needs somebody to look up to in bad times. It must start with you.

Your Competition

Just remember, your competition isn't other people Your competition is; Your procrastination to getting important things done Your ego, that makes you think you are above everyone else Your unhealthy eating habits and health choices The knowledge you neglect because you think you know it all or because you think others don't have an opinion on a matter because they are not intelligent The negative mindset and behaviour you're nurturing because because you think you are not worth something Your lack of Creativity. Failing to explore new ideas or try new things because you think you will fail or not succeed again. You're not in competition with anyone but yourself.

How To Treat A Man

Men are often stereotyped for being weak or soft if they show their love or affection openly. But the truth is, men also need love too. Men need tender loving care and affection and attention just like women do. Caring, showing love and affection and giving attention is not only about women. It is about men too. Men also need early morning calls, just for their women to tell them sweet words too, encouraging words to carry them through the tough day they are already having or that sweet short text message you can send him just for him to know you love him and you are thinking about him. This is the reason why most married men  turn their attention to slay queens and side chicks looking for this kind of treatment. And not necessarily for sex. So from now on, ladies, start also calling your men and husbands, tell him sweet words, encourage him and inspire him,  learn to compliment him on his good looks, what he wears and appreciate with much admiration what he does for you....

The Blueprint To Racism

In this moment of a very dark chapter for all the black race across the globe, I began wondering what the death of the late American, George Floyd really meant to the Black African in America and in Africa. While thinking about this, my mind went back to an audio I have of a college graduation speech  that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave in Detroit in the mid 1950s. In his speech, the first thing, he asked the students and their professors (I imagine black and white people seated) was all my dear black people gathered here, I am asking you today ..... what is your blueprint at this moment? Nobody answered or said a word. He went on to tell the graduating students to work very hard to find their purpose in life. And not to play second fiddle  to anybody whether white or black, hispanic or asian. Because every human being here on earth is special and created uniquely by God, each of us giving a special talent or gift. He was giving this speech, following a similar incident...
