I was just sitting at the coffee shop and thinking that people try hard to be an inspiration to others, learning different communication techniques and reading different books to better themselves. I think all those are great, but I think ultimately what makes you inspiring is actually you being yourself. Who you are at its true self is what inspires people.
There is a famous saying, be yourself because everyone else is taken.
People would find someone inspiring because they are unique, they lead a life of integrity and their life stands for something meaningful and purposeful. I believe we can find that person when we are being ourselves. Though when someone says to be yourself, many people have a hard time even knowing who they are. It’s not an easy task for someone who for majority of their life lead a life of someone else, under someone else’ expectations and lost touch with their heart. But I believe if one sincerely desires to find their true self, it can be done.
So how will you live out 2010? Will you be yourself or continue to live as someone else?
Few things that I am going to remind myself this year are:
- Yield to the authority in my life, which will help me better equip to wield authority (inspired by True Life Inc.).
- Redeeming my talk.
- Living from the place of Grace. Surrender. Obey. Trust.
Remember, the most effective way to reach your goals is to write them down, be absolutely clear and make sure it stir up positive emotions. Write them down and review them often, best is daily! The art of life is to be in charge but also to surrender.
Happy New Year everyone! (take a minute to vote ——–>)
