Inspiration can make you click and can elicit paradigm shifts.  It calls you to strive for a new purpose or drives you to higher awareness.

What does inspiration do?

Own your stories and drive others through them.  Stories have the ability to enrich the group and connect them.

Inspiration through storytelling

Journal or take notes of an event or idea and elaborate on them.When you are inspired, your energy surrounds you and naturally expands your capability to attract and lift others.

Everyone has inspiring stories.

As participants of the course, we came from all parts of the world. We deal with different products or services, and work in different functions. However, in this context, our diversity brought so much value to this experience that it's hard to describe with words: the number of stories I've heard in the last two weeks is staggering. What's even more relevant is their POWER.
Everyone could share a great deal of funny, larger-than-life stories. We all felt and came to realize that HUMOR is such a precious element in our business world: we learned laughter is one of the main endowments to re-set our strained brain and to release stress.
What made us feel even more connected to each other is another aspect though: the power of vulnerability. By sharing our struggles, our failures and our losses, we bonded on the deeper level of humanity that we all share.
The capability to own our stories and drive others through them without polishing, make-up or politics, highlighted that the differences on the superficial level (education, religion, race, job... etc) could only enrich us as a group while helping us recognize we are astonishingly alike on a spiritual level. We all want to love and to be loved, we aspire to work on something meaningful, we get boosted by laughing regularly, and feel comforted knowing we have someone to hug when we need to cry tears of joy or sadness.
I have never witnessed so many spontaneous hugs between people that met for the first time. It felt so warm. In fact, "Jhappi" (the Hindi word for "hug") became the buzz word of the campus.
The truth is, being inspired often makes you inspiring for others. <figure><img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1200/1*fUTfazV9afHFqs4_Xpxl9w.jpeg"> </figure> <blockquote>When you are inspired, your energy surrounds you and naturally expands your capability to attract and lift others. When many inspiring people meet, they create a reciprocating virtuous circle.</blockquote>
If you feel down or at a stall in your life, or if you simply want to develop yourself, consider this: meet joyous people. Invite one for a coffee or lunch. Meet those who don't need anything special to happen in their lives to feel genuinely happy, the ones that smile on Monday at 8 AM and, you can sense, they mean it.
What inspiring people have in common is the attitude of turning their stories into positive energies, no matter the content and the perception they had of the events at the time they occurred. What seemed to be a failure can became a blessing. A loss reverts into an awakening. An apparent "coincidence" finds its thread. A constraint is transformed into an opportunity.
