We all deserve to be inspired but not all of us demand that we be inspired as we live our lives.
Why is that?
Not only do we not sometimes demand inspiration but we don’t realize that we ourselves are an inspiration in our lives and the lives of others. We are trained to be humble and we should be… to the outside world but not ourselves.
Our lives is this fascinating moment in the history of the world… we matter as much as the world because it is our lives and the only life we have.
Well maybe not the only life we have… Hindus believe in reincarnation, Christians believe in a life thereafter. We have to deal with this life here on earth. Sources of inspiration are everywhere.
As a Christian I look first to the bible though I do look past the bible to other religions, other perspectives of life for inspiration.
I believe in destiny but I also realize it could as well been me born into this world on the other side of our planet to a loving family of different beliefs. I have no dominion over them and they have no dominion over me. All of the religions of the world call for tolerance and living in peace. Religions do not have zealots, zealots have religions.
So in this column we look to all the religions of the world including the nonbeliever’s religion of consequences to expand our minds and our life experiences.
TROML encapsulates spiritual and religious beliefs as a source of inspiration.
Here is something close to my heart from the bible, James 1 Chapters 3-4:
“Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.”
What does this mean?
Life continually challenges us. What is the secret to life? Thge secret is to forget about discipline, performance and achievement. Live a life of patience in an environment of searching and finding your true self and wanting only to live that realization. Knowing that at any minute you are perfect and entire will set you free to naturally perform and achieve on this earth.
In addition to the bible, I look to the Qur’an, Torah, Dharma, all of the world; religions and Carl Sagan’s consequential philosophy for inspiration as a citizen of this world.
I also look inside me and to you.
Maybe it is time to take an inspirational exit from the fast paced highway of life?
Have a TROML Day Today!
