What Inspires You?

-




As a young writer, people tend to ask me, this question quite often. Recently, I was chatting with an elderly person who happened to read a story written by me. When he completed reading the story written by me, he instantly liked it (I’m not bragging). He searched me on Facebook and left a message for me.

During our conversation, he asked me, “What inspires you?” I answered him and we ended our conversation. But this question, “What inspires you?” intrigued me. On a larger scale, this is a very important question in anyone’s life. I kept thinking about what must be inspiring people to do certain work?  People do things to achieve something in life, I know but what pushes them to do things? What’s their inner voice or we can say what’s their secret thoughts are? Of course, it is confusing.
          I was disturbed. I wanted to understand what inspired people? 
         At last, I got an answer.
       It is simple. We human beings like to complicate each and every issue. When I observed and read many articles related to inspiration and motivation. I found one common thing in all. At last, you’re your own inspiration. Nobody inspires you! You inspire yourself. People do believing things so that you can relate to them and you can keep an aim in your life but you can’t achieve anything until and unless you move your feet.
       People also say, my parents are my inspiration, but to an extent it is a lie. They can support you and motivate you by their work but they can’t inspire you. But real meaning of inspiration is—the process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something creative. Inspiration is related to innovation and inventiveness.
          We inspire ourselves! Things can only happen only if we do those things, no one is going to do it for us! So, you can do three things to inspire yourself.
  1.  Talk to yourself!
  2.  Decide what you want to do in life.
  3. Lastly, secretly or openly follow your dreams.


These three things are enough to inspire you to move forward in life. If you know your destination, you only have to select a perfect route to reach there. So, select wisely and be your own inspiration.

Note: This is my logic behind inspiration. If you have anything to say about this, please e-mail me at – authoramay7@gmail.com

Laughing At Yourself is More Important Than Laughing At Others!

I have seen people getting angry at them, feeling guilty about mistakes they did but what I haven’t seen yet is – people never laugh at themselves. It has ever happened that – a classmate of yours has asked a foolish question to your professor and it is followed by a string of laughter. Have you eve r felt laughing at others is very easy but being a laughing stock is hard? The feeling of being a fun element is hard to swallow but laughing at something or someone is never tough. Everyone’s Target Making fun of others and taunting them again and again about where they went wrong, and how foolish they’re won’t help you in life. What really helps in life is observing your mistakes and working on it. The example of laughter I gave in the first paragraph can also influence a person in a negative way. It or she may develop fear of becoming a figure of fun and would never any question ever in front of people. Yes, it is also a kind of indirect bullying. Well, laugh...

Short Story: Man Standing in the Dark (Part One)

Part One   HOW OFTEN DO WE COME ACROSS A MAN WHO STANDS ON A DARK ROAD EVERY NIGHT TO DO A VERY STRANGE ACTIVITY?  Since last three years, I have developed this habit of not sleeping until 3 .a.m. in the morning. I don’t know why but I read all night and sleep all day. Everyone at home is mad at me except for one person. That is my father, who is a retired lawyer. Every day it is my mother, who is yelling at me, but I don’t see him having any problem with me reading all night. Initially, I thought he’s bored and he doesn’t give fuck about what I do, but it is not that way. Maybe he’s aware that I am not gonna do anything wrong staying awake all night, I thought. This thought rested other thoughts which were about to take birth and float in my mind for the rest of the time until I got a real answer to it. Helpless, I knew, those’ll come out anyhow.             So, one day, when I was sitting reading a Stephe...

Mahendra Singh Dhoni

MS Dhoni—the name needs no introduction. He is also known as Captain Cool. He is also known as the best finisher, best wicket-keeper, Mahi, etc. Yesterday, when I heard about Dhoni stepping down as India’s limited over’s captain. It came as a shock to me. It was unexpected but with Dhoni it is always a surprise. Like every cricketing fan, I also became sad by learning the fact that he only had one match to go for completing the milestone of 200 matches as a captain. Before his decision— I was observing from the last few months, every article in the newspaper regarding Dhoni had a piece of his retirement plans and his unsuccessful campaign in World T20. Some articles also stated that Dhoni is done with his successful career and he should retire. Everyone in the press started asking him questions regarding his retirement. Although, our Captain Cool, stayed calm and answered the questions tactfully without creating a big issue. Sometimes he did lose his coolness but he never sto...
