Inspiration
Visualized opening speech I used as a host of an event about inspiration
by @jwalphenaar
Everybody
needs to be inspired.
It motivates us to excel, to grow, to choose and to live!
In our personal life as well in our professional life.
Inspiration comes in many different forms
A lot of people, including myself, get inspired by other people and their stories.
For example the late Steve Jobs, Einstein or Jimmy Hendrix.
People that changed the world.
The world of lifestyle, physics or music.
Their stories and their lives are inspirational for others.
They have become icons in their area or even heroes.
They are a daily inspiration for millions of people nowadays.
But they were inspired themselves before
Every inspirator that we know was inspired once before he or she became an inspirator
Inspiration can be seen as a chain of ideas and visions, where one inspirator can ignite the next inspirator
People can get inspired by music, literature, movies, arts, nature and children.
Little things that can change our minds.
But also by great events like TedX or stories of other people.
I call them ignitors
All those ignitors of inspiration
are the start of a new story
A new story in your life, a new story in your career.
So that one day you can be an inspiration for others. Your children, your friends or your co-workers.
so please open your mind, be inspired and be ignited!
