For my first reflective blog, I had a long hard think about what I find quite easy to talk about. And so here we have it: Inspiration.
I was about 10 years old when I was first inspired. I felt a tingly sensation all over and a determination crossed my mind. I wanted to do something, I felt powerful and felt that the world was opening up for me, or rather, I could conquer the world.
What happened to inspire me? It may seem a bit silly, but, watching Rocky 4.
Mainly the fight scene at the end, watching this gruelling fight, with the instrumentals, and the overcoming adversity and pain etc. When Rocky won that fight and he converted all of the Russians to his side, and then he gave that speach about 'Ey, if you can learn to love' or something like that, it was quite touching.
I remember I bought some boxing gloves and started to punch a wall.
As I grew older, I found myself in a bit of a slump, I would see the negative side of everything, I was very pesimistic and felt hard done by by life. Why didn't girls like me? Why didn't the 'cool' people talk to me. Why wasnt I being recognised. And I realised, only I can put myself out there, and only I can change my life, and start enjoying it, rather than feeling so hard done by.
I read a book, The Alchemist (El Alquemista) by Paulo Coelho that really changed my outlook on life.Since that book, I've managed to see inspiration in so many things.
The world inspires me, on a hot day with a slight breeze, the rustle of the trees, the birds singing.
People inspire me, people who have come from nothing, people at the very top, the consistant champions. Champions of sport, life. My friends are champions to me, I admire them all for various reasons and they inspire me very much and I am eternally grateful for these friends.
Inspiration will always be a re-curring theme in all of the things I do and all of the actions I make. I am inspired, and I enjoy being inspired.
So now i'd like for you to comment.
What inspires you?
Thankyou for reading.
