Inspiration (as defined by Websters Dictionary) is "a divine influence or action on a person believed to qualify him or her to receive and communicate sacred revelation"

Let's break down the definition:
"a devine influence or action on a person..." - so, inspiration is essentially driven by an inside or outside source that is impactful to your actions

"...believed to qualify him or her..." - the key word is "qualify", so this inside or outside source gives anyone the option to act based on source of influence

"...to receive and communicate sacred revelation" - so, recognizing the outside source and the ability to take action on what has been given to you, results in the other two great words here - "sacred revelation". An act that is driven by an outside or inside source results in not just an "idea", but a revelation, that would not have otherwise presented itself! This is truly worthy of being "sacred"!

So, what really inspires YOU, and can you define the SOURCE, the ACT and the REVELATION that results??

    Dear April: I don't want any trouble from you.
    January was long, February was iffy, March was a freaking dumpster fire.
    So sit down, be quiet, and don't touch anything.

    I get inspired by very small things, I believe that To get me inspired and impressed, one doesn't need to be over the top and do some extra ordinary thing, I can get inspire even with someone's way of talk or the way of greeting.

      Hi, what make me to be inspired is the ability to think positively, the ability to get motivated no matter any circumstances that is on my way. The ability to think like a billionare.

    What inspires me is the lack of knowledge people seem to have. If you would ask me just what subject is the most important to study I would say History! Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it!
