Surrounding Yourself With People Who Inspire

Never underestimate the power of humans to inspire and the gift of being inspired. We were put on one earth together at the same time for a reason. While sitting alone on a beach somewhere watching waves crash on the shore can help you process and make sense of everything in your life, we can also learn so much and become enriched by spending time with good people in our lives.

This is our topic for today – cherishing and finding people who inspire. I would say, if you can’t name five people in your life who inspire you and bring a special value to your relationship, you need to start looking. And I’m most definitely not talking about celebrities or influencers you watch and follow online. I’m talking about face-to-face, real talk experiences. People with golden hearts, who have been through the mud and come out much stronger on the other side. People with encouraging experience, who actually live what they preach.

They are hard to find but you can spot them miles away if you look with an intentional heart. In other words, if you cherish valuable friendships, they will come to you. Of course, there are different areas that will draw you to different people; you can connect with one person on their creative mindset, with another person on their warmhearted approach to people and with another on their wisdom when it comes to personal resilience.

Another layer to this quest is knowing and becoming aware of your own core values and what means the most to you. That will naturally help you notice people with similar values and interests, and more than that, people you will actually look forward to spending time with. People who inspire you.
