With life, comes many chances, choices and responsibilities, but during that time we are expected to do so much! Go to school, university, get a job , get marries, have children etc! But during this time we never really get the chance to just sit down and think what we want out of life! Then we find ourselves struggling to find the inspiration and motivation to do new and exciting things and create our own paths.
For me inspiration comes from a number of things like finding new hobbies, meeting new people and even the internet! It can be the most random and little things but these are often the most important and they keep us going!
My current 2015 motivations are:
- Lose weight and get fit
- Stay focused
- Get into uni
- Take more chances
- Go to more gigs
- Explore the Unknown
- Stay positive and enjoy life
For me Inspiration is seen through some of my female idols which all have a special feature which inspires me to do new things and feel confident and happier about myself.
Marilyn Monroe - you don't have to be skinny or perfect to be beautiful. She was a huge icon in the 1950s and loved for who she was curves and all. She was never seen as what we now call a skinny girl but men still adored her for who she was- Curves and all. As I am a curvy girl this really inspires me and gain body confidence.
Carrie Hope Fletcher- Always stay positive and make the most out of life. In all of her blog posts and videos, Carrie is always smiling, positive and joyful. She taught me that staying positive gives you a better view and experience of life which makes you motivated to take more chances.
Lana Parrilla- Take Chances. As an actor she first began by taking on very small roles, until she was appraoched by a producer to audition for a part, she leaped at the chance and got the role as the Evil Queen/Regina in the hit show Once Upon a Time. This inspired me to take more chances in life as you never know, you may be rewarded.
CherryDollface - Just keep going and never let anything get in your way. Cherry ( Also known as Cherokee) is a well known- Pin up model and youtuber known for her hair and style tutorials. But for me Cherry is a huge inspiration. She has a heart condition which lead to operations where she flat lined for 20 seconds. However she doesn't let this get in the way of her life and she carries on staying positive, taking chances and living life to the full. This really inspires me as it shows that if you don't let anything get in your way you can accomplish almost anything!
I see inspiration and motivation important aspects of our lives as without them we would be cooped up inside and unable to see the interesting and exciting things the world has to offer!
What types of things inspire you? What are your motivations?
