What is inspiration?
What is inspiration? How does it appear in us and does it leave a positive or negative effect. Is inspiration a positive temporary state in man and does it have an effect on his decisions in everyday life. Inspiration rarely happens and in those moments a person gains superhuman power to fulfill his goal. Inspiration doesn’t come often and that’s why we have to use it when it appears. So the first thing we have to learn that concerns inspiration is the ability to recognize it. How many times in our lives have we been inspired to achieve something, but we simply did not recognize that moment.
According to research, psychologists Todd Trash and Andrew Elliot have done research that shows that people prone to frequent and more intense inspiration have a more positive attitude towards their lives. There is no way to accurately measure how many times inspiration appears in a person’s life, but understanding and recognizing the moment when it appears can help us use it in our daily life. Inspiration can appear in our life on the basis of internal or external factors.
Internal and external factors of inspiration
The internal factor can be our thoughts, emotions, desires, dreams or personal experiences. They come from within, for example when we are in some emotional state, a strong call for writing, composing or creating something often arises.
External factors come from our environment, such as when we read a book, watch a movie or video, or an event that happens during the day can cause us some inspiration.
A man can make a big mistake if he waits for inspiration to appear to start something in his life. Inspiration is not there to be expected, inspiration is a state that comes and goes. Inspiration cannot be forced to help, but it should be welcomed readily. Man’s greatest successes come from inspiration, but also from hard work and patience. famous writer Haruki Murakami said that he does not wait for inspiration, but writes every day. If inspiration appears, it is good, if it is not there, it still writes non-stop.
If a person uses his talent and combines it with a moment of inspiration, he can achieve a lot and achieve his goals in life. If we think that we are in a hopeless situation and that we do not have a solution to a problem, inspiration can help us to come to a solution suddenly.
It is important that the concepts of inspiration and motivation we do not mix, because inspiration comes spontaneously from the human psyche, while motivation represents an external intentional incentive to a certain human activity.
However, inspiration is a transient state that does not come often. Accordingly, it is very important to recognize and use it, because in those moments we discover the best version of ourselves.
