Live an Inspiring Life

      

                   " Your life is your message to the world, make sure it's inspiring"

     Have you listened to Inspiration 92.3 F.M? Do you know Ms Ego Abili? She is one of the radio personalities on that station. Well late last year, shortly after starting this blog I got the opportunity to speak with her and even appeared as a guest speak on her show... well in a way, its a long story. Anyway, She told me something one of the days that we spoke randomly and it has always been stuck in my head.  I can't remember the exact words because I was probably lost listening to the sound of her voice, she has a really beautiful voice. Lol. But the message I received from her words was that you can never have enough inspiration and that the world always needs more people to do the kind of work we do which is inspiring others and of cos handling relationship matters. I think she said " We can never have enough of people that do what we do, so don't back out". I just really can't remember the exact words.

I like to believe that we are partially responsible for the people around us. Our life style affects a lot more people than we realize or care to notice. You do not have to be a big name or a celebrity to be an inspiration. And you do not have to host a conference or be a guest speaker at a seminar to inspire people. Believe me there are people in your neighborhood that look at you everyday. The way you live your life and the way you carry yourself. I feel one of the best things you can do is to live your life in a way that is positively inspiring to those people. 

You know that little girl in your compound? The daughter of the lady that lives just opposite your house, you might feel she is too young but she looks at you everyday and watches you. The way you dress, walk, eat and live your life. You can make a positive impact in her life by straightening out yours. Don't worry, she isn't stalking you just because she watches the way you eat also. Lol

Now I'm not suggesting that you watch every single step you take just because there are people around you or that you might influence the next person in one way or the other by the slightest mistake you make. Nah, not at all. I am all for you living life to the fullest and having fun when you can, life is too short to be too stuck up and rigid. I am just saying that once in a while, you should also take the time to look at the lives you are making an impact on. Everyone has to let loose at times and even make mistakes which might have negative effects. But just Consider making the positive effects of your lifestyle outweigh the negative. It would help others and help you personally also. So if you have no other reason to live a positive life, just remember the people around you. Remember that little girl in your compound...

Now even if you do not want to make your everyday life to be too restricted because you are too busy watching out for those around you, I understand that perfectly. In fact I would tell you that you shouldn't do it at all if that's the way things would be for you. But then I would urge you to just find your own way to make a positive impact and shine a good light for the people around you who might be looking up to you. Ms Ego Inspired me in her own way, without even knowing by just those few words she said to me. I can only hope she is getting the satisfaction of knowing that if she is reading this right now. So be you, live positively, and inspire good things with your positive lifestyle.

But in everything, make sure your signature is on what you do. By signature I mean that you should do it your own way. Through the best way you know possible, your lifestyle, your fashion, your career success, the way you handle you family, the way you handle strangers and many more. Just generally make sure you put in at least a little effort to be a source of positive inspiration to people.
