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.

The Paradox of Our Times

*THE PARADOX OF OUR TIMES* Is that we have taller buildings, but shorter tempers Wider freeways and roads but smaller viewpoints We spend more, but we have less. We have bigger houses, but smaller families More conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees, but less sense More knowledge, but less judgement More experts, but more problems More medicines, but less healthy lives We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too little and hate too often We have learnt how to make a living, but not how to make a life. We have added years to life, but not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back But have trouble crossing the street to meet or greet the new neighbour. We have conquered outer space, but not our inner hearts We've cleaned up the air in our environment  but destroyed our souls. We claim to love all people but quick to show our prejudice We've higher incomes, but lower morals. We'v...

Support Small Business Owner Friends And Family To Grow

To all my self-employed, small business owner friends and family,  this article is dedicated to us!!!! Rihanna releases a lip gloss, people buy it.  Michael Jordan puts out new trainers in stores, people flock to these stores to buy them instantly. Dr. Dre  has new headphones, people buy it. Oprah Winfrey, the richest black woman in the world introduces a new weight loss and diet control program, people jump on board and flow with it. Beyoncé has a new concert, people queue in line to go spend £250 on a ticket just to watch her performance. A friend or family member of ours starts a business, and soon we become weary.  We say things like "Not sure this is going to work"  "This business you are starting is not going to go anywhere, I'll give you only 6 months, it will collapse to the ground"  " this your product is too expensive, you will be out of business in no time if you don't reduce your prices" Those of you, putting out negative comments...

USA And The Western World is Against Polygamy.. Our Ghana Law is Against LGBT Rights. Will They Allow To Set Up a Polygamy Office In Their Country??

On June 26 2015, the US supreme court struck down all state laws banning same - sex marriages and legalised in all the fifty states across America. I remember that day, pretty well watching CNN seeing then host taking the live feed Anderson Cooper in a jubilant mood. Pictures from the supreme court also painted the same picture. Men kissing men passionately, and women kissing women passionately and locking tongues as well. All this outside the US supreme court for the whole country and the whole world to see that the United States of America, the greatest free country on earth is now fully endorsing gay marriage and approving LGBT rights. The gay pride parade was insane, trust me. A few months later, some European Union countries also joined in and legalised it unanimously. I could recall on that evening I called up one of my Brazilian friends, a woman who had always been a strong advocate and a strong supporter of LGBT rights to pick her mind on what had just happened in the US. ...
