Inspiration
Find and hold onto whatever it is that inspires you. Let it guide you.
I saw a bird, flying high above the clouds
It was free as could be
Singing as it made its way
I watched admiringly as it soon perched its self on a nearby tree
I assumed it needed to rest
As it rested I continued to watch
Something about this bird peeked my interests
It is not as if it was the first of its kind I've seen
It was a common sparrow
Yet, I was fascinated by it
A few minutes went by and it took flight once more
As I watched I wondered where it was headed
Was it looking for food?
Was it looking for a home maybe?
Was she off to tend to her young?
I suppose I will never know
The mystery of it was most thrilling
A thought then came to me
I too wanted to be free as that bird
I wanted for people to see me and wonder where I have been, where I was heading
For people to create their own stories of what they saw in me
For me to surprise them with my every move
That is what I want
That is the goal
To seek new things
To be in constant flight
To discover and fulfill my dreams
To build a future
It may seem odd that a bird is what inspired me
Though inspiration can be found in anything
Watching the waves of the ocean
Star gazing during the night
Listening to a song
Watching a child take his or her's first step
It is all around you
You just need to look and listen
Be patient and the right things will come along
Do not wait too long though
For moments pass in an instant
This moment is the only one promised
Who knows how long it will last
So do not waste it
Do not allow your doubts to take you over
Face your fears
Take those first steps
Move now
Be inspired
You will be surprised as to how far you can go
The things you can accomplish are endless
You have to do more than want it
Once you have found your motive, act on it
Find the courage and strength that will get you there
Be brave
Seek new beginnings
Take that vacation you have been wanting
Talk to that person you have hesitated to approach
You may be surprised of the outcome
Do not dwell on the past
Do not let the mistakes you have made hold you back
Strive and never give up
Be fearless
Fierce when needed
Be the best you, you can be
Do not forget or abandon what has and does motivate you
Stay focused
Do not lose yourself in the madness
Look to positive influences
May it be a friend or family member
A song or poem
A walk on the beach or through the park
Find time for yourself
Breath and relax
If you find you have fallen
Get back up and try again
Start over if you have to
Take a break from what you were doing and center yourself
It is your life
Do it your way
Change paths if need be
Try not to stress
Enjoy life
Always be inspired
Inspire others with your journey
Lend a helping hand
Be kind for you never know who needs it most
Be a leader
Stray away from the crowd
Make unforgettable memories
Experience and learn the most you can
There are no limits
Keep reaching
Nothing can hold you back
Not if you don't allow it
Shield yourself but, do not build your walls too high
Leave room for the good to come in
Let it in
Accept help when you need it
Most importantly
Stay inspired
