Inspiration!!!

In most of our lives, there exists a role model, an idol who plays a vital role in shaping and influencing our actions, deeds, thoughts, feelings and our mere existence. This icon could be a renowned author, a popular pin-up, a superstar, a legendary sportsman, a great friend, an adorable family member, a nobody or most importantly it could just be you. It’s bizarre how we seldom acknowledge and appreciate it.

Was stalled in a holding pattern with lack of ideas and topics dominating my existence for a while now, read my friend’s wonderful blog last night and the writer in me seems to be bubbling with creativity all over again :-). Doesn’t this speak to the blog title itself? Its strange how I don’t believe in deifying one idol, I usually am inspired by the talent, the genius and the brighter side in one and all. This blog is dedicated to each one of you who have inspired me in some walk of my life and continue to motivate me along…

Inspiration is that almighty force that arises from the inside. It lights you up, and gives you more power than you ever expected. Although brainwave occurs in a lot of different forms, for example, you could be inspired to perform a trivial chore or it could be something that changes your life completely, it is significantly important for that influence to bring out a positive upshot that forces out the best in us! (literally :-))

My mom will always be my greatest source of inspiration and here are the reasons why…from waking up at 5:00 a.m. each morning and cooking mouthwatering breakfast and lunch for all of us, from tolerating all our idiosyncrasies to showering unconditional love, from worrying about us at each step to sacrificing a lot more for our happiness, from being a tower of strength to being a wonderful friend (this list is too long to list :-)), mothers rule! The point I am trying to make here is that it’s amazing how day-to-day activities performed by one individual can motivate and ignite the spark in us to do something that we usually shy away from or just to better ourselves.

Lately, I have become more than indomitable in hitting the gym atleast 5 times a week, not only do I thank this friend who amazingly inspires me, but also thanks to my very own reflection in the mirror :-). Sa Re Ga Ma Pa, a “very old and still kicking” musical program on Zee TV tranforms the bathroom singer in me to a wannabe Indian idol or something of that sort…The realization has dawned on me, and through these examples I just want to portray that each one of us is bestowed with the potential to make it big, all you need is inspiration!!!
So bring it on…Be inspired :-)
