Most people have come from the greatest failures to discover their purpose while others have went through the greatest of pain to master their purpose. In our normal and professional settings, when we come together in social or business networks we think of this people! How they move us, how full of life they work, how full of energy they live and how focus they are! It is that rare genius that makes motivation and influence possible in our world, which we call inspiration, and without it we are nothing. Because of this importance of inspiration in our life, I have decided to compile the reasons why you should have it in business.
• reason no. 1: Inspiration increases your persistence to achieve goals
If you’ve found inspiration to do something you’ll give your full energy to it. This is probably the biggest benefit of inspiration. In life or business there are many distraction and interruptions that make many people lose interest in doing the work that will get them to success and freedom status! That is why inspiration is very important for those who are in business, because when you are inspired you are able to stay in the game for longer than others and that is very profitable since we achieve goals when we persist.
• reason no. 2: Inspiration reduces stress
If you find a task boring you’ll end up getting frustrated of it. On the other hand, you feel happy to do what inspires you. And, as a result you’re less likely to feel stressed out at work. Overstress not only affects your mental peace, but also has negative impact on your productivity. Therefore, it’s crucial to ensure that business is full of interesting work to do and encouragement.
• reason no. 3: Inspiration is contagious
The key is to keep company only with people who uplift you, whose presence calls forth your best. An inspirational person spreads inspiration everywhere. When you have inspirational people in your business it affects other employees in a positive way. They’ll feel motivated and try to give their best. It’ll also encourage healthy competition at work.
• reason no. 4: Inspiration increases creativity
If an employee does a task with all her heart she will find many ways to complete it efficiently and successfully. Therefore, it’s important to make a task challenging and interesting, so that it encourages brainstorming, thereby increasing creativity. Remember, innovation especial today is a must for a company to meet the challenges of the competitive world.
• reason no. 5: Inspiration drives you to complete goals
When you are inspired there is a sense of continuity to your actions, it is this flow of motion that drives you to reach the next step on your journey. Hence it is said that success is a constant reach of one’s goals in life whatever they may be.
• reason no. 6: Inspiration connects your internal goals with external goals
Since the beginning of time, human beings always had goals they wanted to achieve. Whether they are simple as fetching water from the river or catching dinner or even complex as building a company, they had and still have goals they want to achieve. But since there is always an opposing force that is in conflict with our desires we develop motivations to remind us of our goals and we exert influence to deal with that conflict. But with inspiration you can live directly in that sweet spot, in harmony with the external world.
I am inspired. This piece just motivated me and made rethink everything I have been doing in my work and business. I realise in most of my projects I needed wise words of inspiration… There are definitely things I would have done or will in future do different! I am inspired, I will do better
Much thanks and appreciation Katlego. We will be sure to continue inspiring you.
