2. About
Has anyone ever inspired you to change
your life in a significant way that made you
healthier, happier, or more fulfilled? If so,
you understand the difference that positive
inspiration can make in a persons life.
Inspiration is powerful, but it isnt easy.
Would you like to return the favor by making
a positive difference in the life of your
friends, family, or co-workers? If you want to
be a positive influence capable of inspiring
your loved ones to become better versions
of themselves.
3. Care
If you cant show a
person that you
genuinely care about
them, do you think you
will be able to inspire
them? The answer is a
resounding, NO!
Show people you care
in your words and your
actions.
4. Be Enthusiastic
The saying enthusiasm
is contagious is
common enough to be
clich辿, but its a clich辿
because its true. Reflect
enthusiasm every day to
the people you are in
contact with and Im
willing to wager your
genuine smiles, positive
energy, and caring
concern will be returned
ten-fold.
5. Earn Trust
Trust takes a long time to build, but it can be
destroyed overnight, so dont take part in
workplace gossip or unnecessary drama in your
social networks so you can be a positive influence
that people are unafraid to talk to.
6. If Its Not Positive, Dont Say It
Its easy to criticize
people, but that
doesnt mean its the
right thing to do.
Think about it: how
do you react if
someone insults
your intelligence,
makes fun of your
outfit, or criticizes
your performance?
7. Build People Up
Small compliments have
a way of brightening any
day, irregardless of the
dark shadows that may
be overhead. Dont
believe me? Find
someone in your office
wearing a frown, tell
them how cute they look
today, and watch a bright
smile take over their
face.
8. Stand Your Ground
Its easy to let life-stress shake our
foundation of inner-strength as human
beings, but if you want to inspire people
around you, learn to stand your ground
through thick and thin.
9. Admit Your Flaws
Although it is important
to not flinch when life
throws us a curve-ball,
it is equally important to
acknowledge the fact
that we are all human
beings here, and thus
are all inherently
flawed.
10. Be An Active Listener
Anyone can hear
the words other
people say, but
not many people
can actively listen
and comprehend
those words to
fully understand
the meaning
behind them.
11. Reach For The Stars
No one will be inspired
by a person who
resigns themselves to
reality. Be ambitious,
aim high, and never
surrender if you want
to inspire people that
they, too, can
accomplish anything
they set their mind to.
12. Share Your Influences
What books have
made a huge impact
on who you are as a
person? What sources
of inspiration help
guide the most
important decisions in
your life?
