BellaOnline Forums Beauty and Self Inspiration Inspire others

When we inspire others, we feel good. that can in turn increase our self esteem. Can that inspire us?

Hi Das,

I do believe that inspiring others helps us to become inspired ourselves! Yesterday I was chatting with one of my girlfriends about her art. As we talked about ways she could do more of what she wanted, I was immediately inspired to think of ways to do more of what I wanted

Yes. Bella. You are right.

How to inspire others on this forum? Any ideas?

Hi CDM.... I think one of the best ways we can inspire others is to encourage them to know what it is they want. We all get into the slumps of focusing on what we don't want...

"I don't like my house..."
"I don't like a partner who can't commit..."
"I hate my job..."
"I hate this ratty old car."

If we can help others to turn it around with "So, what DO you want" then they can start feeling inspired and hopeful again.

"A garden would help me to enjoy my house more..."
"I WANT a partner who loves the idea of being intimate and committed to me..."
"I want a job that fills me with passion and excitement..."
"I want a red convertable with an MP3 player..."

At least when we know what we want we can start allowing great ideas to start coming to us about how to get what we want rather than re-living the pain of what we don't want.

Anyway... that's just one way I see!

Deanna you are right.
Focus on solutions.
