the Types of Inspirational Ideas
There are general inspirational ideas that can inspire any group of
individuals while there are others that are meant for a group of people. In
this articles, we look at the different types of inspirational ideas.
Which inspirational ideas can apply to your current situation?
How can these ideas help you?
There are other ideas that may be intended for a group of people but can
also be applied by other different groups.
An Overview
Visionaries
“When one door of happiness closes, another opens but often we look so long at the closed door that we don’t see the one that has been opened for us”. Helen Keller
Inspirational ideas that fall under this category are meant to enable people
to have a positive outlook on life. They encourage and motivate at the same
time. They give people hope for the future.
Visionaries shave a clear picture of the future. They have goals and dreams.
This is what keeps them motivated and enables them to pursue these goals.
Having a vision also helps one in overcoming obstacle since they have their
eyes set on the goals. A person who has a vision will be able to avoid things
that may distract from their goals.
“Nothing splendid was ever achieved except by those who dared to believe that something inside them was superior to their circumstances”. Bruce Barton
As indicated in this inspirational idea, a visionary can easily overcome their
preset circumstance. For example, a person may be poor but they have a
clear vision of what they to be in future. This will give them the
determination to overcome their present situation and achieve their goals.
In contrast, someone who isn’t inspired will just accept their present
situation and be content.
Visionaries Who Have Used Inspired Ideas to Change History
There are a number of great people who managed to achieve the impossible
simply by being inspired and having a vision. One such person is Nelson
Mandela. This man had an idea of what he wanted South Africa to be. He
had a dream of the country being free from apartheid and South Africans
being able to leave in freedom.
This vision and dreams got him imprisoned for over 25 years. However, he
still didn’t lose sight of his vision. This is what got him released and later
elected as the president of independent South Africa. After years of racism
and apartheid and indescribable human suffering, South Africa is not only
free but the most developed nation in the whole continent. All this was
because of an inspired idea that one man had. It managed to empower him
and a whole nation.
The Wright brothers are also visionaries who were inspired to create and
ended up changing the course of History forever. These brothers are
accredited with having invented airplanes. The two had an idea of air
transportation long before anyone had even such an idea. This was way
back in 1903.They made a few futile attempts but didn’t give up until they
have a breakthrough. This goes to show the power of a single inspirational
idea.
The current president (44th) of the United States of America, Barrack
Obama is another visionary. This was the first time that America elected a
black man. For a country that has battle with issues of racism for hundreds
of years, this was a very great milestone. If you look at the history of racism
in America; it is hard to believe that the national is now being led by a black man. In historic times, this was a country that strongly supported enslaving of back people, lynching and also other racial disintegration practices, nobody that this would ever be possible. Barrack Obama not only empowered black people in United States but also inspired people from all over the world.
President Barrack Obama not only managed to inspire and empower Black
people in America. He has managed to inspired people from all walks of life
all over the world.
There are many people who have managed to use inspired ideas to
empower themselves and the others. Their ideas and dreams have
influenced the course of History. This goes to show that anyone with can go
very fair in life by just being inspired.
“Never tell me that the sky is the limit when there are footprints on the moon” .Author unknown.
An inspired idea can help you take a leap and step away from your current
situation no matter how limiting.
Poetry
‘To see the world is a world in a grain of sand,
And heaven in a world of flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.” William Blake
This is another category of inspirational ideas. They serve two main
purposes, the inspire poets and can also be inspiration by poets.
Inspirational ideas that are meant to inspire poets are normally helpful
especially for those who have run out ideas on what to write about. They
may be inspirational in that they provide ideas for topics. They may also
provide tips on how to get over the mental block and become creative again.
The inspirational poems that are meant to inspire others are thought
provoking. They contain a message that may be immediately clearly while
others may depend on the individual interpretation of the message. For
example:
“This is my quest to follow that star,
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far,
To fight for the right without question or pause,
to be willing to match into Heaven for a Heavenly cause”.
Jim Darion
Such inspirational words inspire people to follow their dreams no matter
what happens.

It Only Took One Minute.......
It only took a minute. I was sitting at the computer in my office when the phone rang. I picked up the receiver and then laid it down my desk as I went to find the student who the call was for. Within seconds I was back at my desk, ready to resume typing, when I heard the student yelling obscenities at me for listening in to his call through the handset that was still lying on the desk. Sick and tired of the lies he was spewing, I was up running down the hall, ready to kill him. By the time I reached him, I had calmed enough not to hurt him, but as I turned back towards my room, I knew that I couldn’t go on like this any longer. The decision was clear. I had to leave.

Unveiling identity.
In a bustling city where skyscrapers kissed the clouds and dreams flourished amidst the concrete jungle, there lived a young woman named Maya. Maya's days were a whirlwind of obligations and expectations, leaving her feeling like a mere shadow of herself. Yet, beneath the surface, an ember of curiosity burned, yearning to uncover the essence of her identity.Maya's journey began on a crisp autumn morning, as she found herself standing at the threshold of a quaint bookstore nestled between towering buildings. Intrigued by the promise of knowledge within its walls, she stepped inside, the scent of aged paper and ink enveloping her senses.As she perused the shelves, her eyes landed on an ancient tome tucked away in a corner. Its weathered cover bore the title "The Quest for Identity." Intrigued, Maya pulled it from the shelf, feeling a faint tremor of excitement coursing through her veins.Settling into a cozy armchair, Maya delved into the pages, each word a beacon guiding her on a journey of self -discovery. The book spoke of courage, resilience, and the power of embr acing one's true self, igniting a spark within Maya's heart.With newfound determination, Maya embarked on a quest to unearth the layers of her identity, like an archaeologist delicately brushing away the sands of time. Along the way, she encountered challenges that tested her resolve, but she pressed on, fueled by the belief that her true essence lay waiting to be revealed.Her journey led her to unexpected places – from the bustling streets of the city to the serene solitude of nature's embrace. In each moment, Maya peeled back the facade she had constructed, shedding the expectations imposed upon her by society and those around her.As she delved deeper, Maya unearthed fragments of her past – forgotten dreams, buried passions, and untapped potential. With each revelation, she felt a sense of liberation wash over her, like a bird spreading its wings for the first time.Yet, the path to sel f- discovery was not without its obstacles. Maya faced moments of doubt and uncertainty, grappling with the fear of what lay beyond the familiar confines of her identity. But she refused to be deterred, drawing strength from the knowledge that true fulfillment awaited those brave enough to embrace their authenticity.Through introspection and introspection, Maya began to weave the threads of her true identity into the tapestry of her life. She discovered that she was not defined by external labels or societal expectations, but by the unique blend of experiences, passions, and values that made her who she was.With each step forward, Maya felt a sense of alignment with her true self, like a puzzle finally falling into place. She embraced her quirks and imperfections, recognizing them as integral parts of her identity rather than flaws to be hidden away.As Maya's journey drew to a close, she stood atop a windswept hill, the city skyline shimmering in the distance. With a heart full of gratitude and a spirit ablaze with purpose, she whispered to the winds, "I am not who the world expects me to be. I am not defined by the roles I play or the masks I wear. I am simply, unapologetically, me."And in that moment, Maya realized that the true quest for identity was not about finding oneself, but about creating oneself – a journey of self- discovery that would continue to unfold with each passing day. For in the depths of her soul, Maya knew that her identity was not a destination, but a lifelong odyssey of growth, exploration, and self-expression. And with that realization, she stepped boldly into the unknown, ready to embrace whatever adventures lay ahead.
