Coming Alive: Finding Inspiration in the Mundane “Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and go do it, because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”- Howard Thurman Life is too short to not spend it doing things that you love, with people that you love in places that you love. When we love something we are in the moment, we are inspired and we feel alive. We’ve all had the feeling of doing something or being with someone so intensely and passionately that we don’t realize how much time has lapsed. In these moments we are truly one with life. Life is being summoned through us and we are completely in the moment, without letting any mental constructs of analyzing the moment or counting the minutes on the clock. These moments are truly what makes life worth living, and if we become super aware, we can call upon these inspirational moments at any given moment in the day. It doesn’t matter where you are, when we switch our perspective on things, we can identify the beauty and inspirational in the normal mundane activities of our day to day existence. Then, life doesn’t seem so humdrum anymore. Each “scene” of our life becomes a beautiful piece of living artwork that we are observing. Watching the sunrise, seeing birds fly, watching our loved ones laugh, observing a butterfly in flight, really anything… can become an amazing experience if we bring ourselves into the moment and see how miraculous everything really is. In order to truly recognize the magical in the mundane, we must see the world from new eyes. We must look at something or someone so differently that we actually see it from an entirely different point of view, at which point it becomes fresh and new to us. Here are a few ways we can switch our paradigms so that we see the world through a new set of eyes: See Beauty in the “Ugly”- Society has tried to deliver us this picture perfect little package of what we are supposed to believe is “beautiful.” Airbrushed photos of people who look like supermodels living in luxurious homes driving nice cars with picture perfect families. But who is to say that is what’s “right” and what we should strive to be? If we challenge our culture’s constructs of what is beautiful, and instead look for the beauty in what appears to be “flawed” or representation of people “struggling” we are able to challenge the program that society has tried to embed in our heads. Go somewhere you wouldn’t conventionally think of as a beautiful place, and try to find the beauty in the realness of life. Real people, living real lives, maybe they’re struggling or maybe they’re completely grateful for something that most people would take for granted. Either way, when we can train our mind to see beauty in reality instead of what society has told us is “perfection”, we can find inspiration almost anywhere we look. Experience nature To be in nature is probably the most inspirational place one can be. Nature is not hurried, or anxious or angry or resentful… it just is. Nature has no ego, nor is it living in fear. If we become fully aware of nature as it is in the present moment, we find that there is so much beauty around us just waiting to be noticed at any given time. Just seeing the sunset, or studying the bark on a tree, watching a group of birds in flight or leaves on a tree swaying in a soft wind are absolutely amazing experiences. These are things most people take for granted day by day. If we just spend 5-10 minutes a day observing these tiny little gifts that nature has given us, we will find that we naturally start noticing them more on a regular basis. Then we become grateful for these private little moments between us and the life force of the “all that is”. Observe people without judgment - We are all more alike than we think. Besides the obvious differences like hair color, race, age, gender etc… we all have fears, dreams, the desire to be loved and appreciated. If we start to observe people that we see and try to experience their essence instead of living in our minds experience of them (which is always judging, comparing, and analyzing), watching the human species becomes an amazing experience. Watch how people talk, laugh, feel confident, feel insecure, without judging it, but just observing it. Some may call this “people watching”, and when we try to look at people from a different perspective we realize that most people are all really the same, it’s just the details may be different. Watching people can be entertaining and bring life to a normally mundane waiting room or sitting in the airport, for instance. Pretend like you’re new here Spend an entire day seeing everything as if you’ve never seen or done it before. On your way to work, look at the streets and the trees and the buildings that have become so routine that you don’t even notice they are there anymore, through the eyes of someone doing it for the first time. Eat food that you love like you’re just tasting it for the first time and experience it all over again. Get dressed, brush your teeth, take a shower in a completely from a state of complete awareness, as if you just got to this planet and everything you do is a completely brand new experience. There was a time when all of these things were brand new to you, and they all seemed so interesting and mysterious… but over time they became routine. If we bring ourselves back to a place of presence we can become completely inspired by sensations we have become desensitized to over time. This makes life fun again. Getting inspired is what life is really about. Inspiration is the precursor to motivation which is the precursor to change and moving forward. Finding beauty in the mundane injects love into our life. It makes the dull seem interesting, the boring seem fun and it challenges us to see this world through a completely fresh lens. We must always be doing this in order for our lives to be new and exciting instead of stale and stagnant. So challenge yourself today… re-experience everything in your life as if you have never done or seen it before. You will undoubtedly be pleasantly surprised to find how much love and inspiration you’ve had in your life all along, just waiting for you to notice it.

Coming Alive: Pronalaženje inspiraciju u Mundane "Ne pitaj šta svijeta potrebama. Pitajte ono što si došao živ i ići uraditi, jer ono što svijet treba je ljudi koji su u životu. "- Howard Thurman Život je prekratak da ne potrošiti to radi stvari koje ti voliš, sa ljudima koje volim i na mjestima koja ti voliš. Kada volimo nešto smo u ovom trenutku, smo inspirirani i osjećamo živ. Svi smo imali osjećaj raditi nešto ili biti s nekim tako intenzivno i strastveno da ne shvataju koliko je vremena istekao. U tim trenucima mi smo stvarno jedno sa životom. Život je pozvan kroz nas, a mi smo u potpunosti u trenutku, a da bilo kakve mentalne konstrukte analiziranja trenutak računajući minuti. Ovi trenuci su zaista ono što čini život vrijedi dnevni, i ako postanemo svjesni super, možemo nazvati na ovim inspirativne trenutke u svakom trenutku u toku dana. Nije bitno gdje si, kada smo prešli naše perspektive na stvari, možemo identificirati ljepotu i inspirativni u normalnom ovozemaljske aktivnosti naše dana u dan postojanja. Onda, život ne izgleda tako dosadan više. Svaki "scene" našeg života postaje lijep komad života artwork da promatramo. Gledanje izlaska sunca, vide ptice lete, gledaju naše voljene smijati, posmatranje leptir u letu, zaista ništa ... može postati neverovatno iskustvo ako se dovede sebe u ovom trenutku i vidjeti kako je sve zapravo čudesan. Da bi se istinski prepoznaju magičnu u svetovne, moramo vidjeti svijet iz novih očiju. Moramo pogledati nešto ili nekoga, tako da je drugačije zapravo vidimo iz potpuno različitih gledišta, na kojima ukazuju postaje svježe i nove nam. Evo nekoliko načina možemo kretati naše paradigme, tako da vidimo svijet kroz novi set očiju: Pogledajte Beauty u "Ugly"- Društvo je pokušao da nam dostavi ovu sliku savršene male paket onoga što bi trebalo da vjerujem da je "lijepa". Brušenog fotografije ljudi koji izgledaju kao supermodeli koji žive u luksuznim kućama vožnje lijepo automobile sa slikom savršene obitelji. Ali ko je reći da je ono što je "pravo", a ono što mi treba nastojati da bude? Ako osporiti konstrukti naše kulture onoga što je lijepa, i umjesto toga tražiti ljepotu u onome što izgleda da "nedostacima" ili zastupljenost naroda "bore" mi smo u mogućnosti da ospori program koji društvo je pokušalo da biste ugradili u našim glavama. Idi negdje ne bi konvencionalno smatramo prekrasnom mjestu, i pokušati pronaći ljepotu u realness života. Real ljudi, žive stvarne živote, Možda su se bore ili možda su potpuno zahvalni za nešto što bi većina ljudi uzimaju zdravo za gotovo. Bilo kako bilo, kada možemo trenirati naš um da vidi ljepotu u stvarnosti, umjesto onoga što društvo je rekao nam je "savršenstvo", možemo naći inspiraciju gotovo svuda gledamo. Iskustvo prirode Biti u prirodi je vjerojatno inspirativna mjesta se može biti. Priroda nije požurio, ili anksioznost ili ljuti ili ogorčeni ... samo je. Priroda nema ego, niti je žive u strahu. Ako postane potpuno svjestan prirode kao što je to u ovom trenutku, nalazimo da postoji toliko ljepote oko nas samo čekaju da se uočiti u bilo koje vrijeme. Samo vidim zalazak sunca, ili studiraju koru na drvetu, gleda grupa ptica u letu ili ostavlja na ljuljanje drvo u mekom vjetra predivan iskustva. To su stvari koje većina ljudi uzimaju zdravo za gotovo iz dana u dan. Ako smo provesti 5-10 minuta dnevno poštujući ove male darove koje je priroda nam je dala, naći ćemo da smo, naravno, početi primjećujući ih više na redovnoj osnovi. Onda smo postali zahvalni za ove male privatne trenutke između nas i života snagu "sve što je". Obratite pažnju ljudi bez presude - Mi smo svi sličnije nego što mislimo. Osim očigledne razlike kao što su boja kose, race, starost, rodne itd ... svi mi imamo strahove, snovi, želju da bude voljen i cijenjen. Ako počnemo da poštuju ljude koje vidimo i pokušajte doživjeti njihova suština umjesto života u našim umovima iskustva od njih (koji se uvek sudeći, u odnosu, i analiza), gledanje ljudska vrsta postaje neverovatno iskustvo. Pogledajte kako ljudi govore, smijeh, uvereni, osjećaju nesigurno, bez sudeći to, ali to samo posmatranje. Neki mogu nazvati "ljudi gledaju", i kada pokušavamo da pogledamo ljude iz drugačije perspektive možemo shvatiti da većina ljudi su stvarno isti, to je samo detalji mogu biti različiti. Gledajući ljudi mogu biti zabavni i dovesti život u sobu normalno ovozemaljske čekanja ili sjedeći na aerodromu, na primjer. Pretvarajte se kao da si novi ovdje Provedite cijeli dan vidim sve kao da nikada niste vidjeli ili to i ranije. Na putu do posla, pogledati na ulice i drveće i zgrade koje su postale toliko rutinu koja ne ni primijetiti da su više tamo, kroz oči nekoga to radi po prvi put. Jedite hranu koju voliš ti samo to degustacija po prvi put i iskusiti sve ispočetka. Oblačiti se, oprao zube, tuširati u potpuno iz stanja potpune svijesti, kao da ste upravo dobili na ovu planetu i sve što radite je potpuno novo iskustvo brand. Bilo je vremena kada su sve ove stvari su bile potpuno novo za vas, i svi su je izgledalo tako zanimljivo i misteriozan ... ali s vremenom su postali rutina. Ako se donose se vratiti na mjesto prisutnosti možemo postati u potpunosti inspiriran senzacije postali smo desentizovana da tokom vremena. Ovo je opet čini život zabava. Kako inspiriran je ono što život zapravo radi. Inspiracija je preteča motivacije koja je prekursor za promjenu i kreće naprijed. Pronalaženje ljepote u svetovnim ubrizgava volimo u našem životu. To čini dosadan Vam zanimljive, dosadne izgleda zabavno i izaziva nas da vidimo ovaj svijet kroz potpuno svježe objektiva. Uvijek moramo ovo da radimo kako bi naši životi biti novo i uzbudljivo umjesto ustajalog i stagnirajuće. Tako Izazov se danas ... ponovno doživjeti sve što je u vašem životu kao da nikada nisu uradili ili video pre. Ti će nesumnjivo biti ugodno iznenađeni pronaći koliko ljubavi i inspiracije da si imao u životu sve zajedno, Samo za vas čeka primjetiti ga. Image Source FractalEnlightenment.com Lantern fest
