Be an Inspiration

A person with little knowledge, but who uses it extensively for their own good and that of their environment, will become a far more knowledgeable individual than someone with vast knowledge who uses it sparingly. God elevates the status of knowledgeable people by several degrees, and seemingly by several more degrees for those who use it for the good of themselves, their families, and their environment. (Mario Teguh)   Reading Mario Teguh's words above, we might almost forget whether our previous dreams have truly been achieved or not. The more we keep trying, the more we might feel defeated when we fail to become like others. There are times when we forget something we've created and try to do it again. Did you know that if we rush to achieve our goals, no success will be attained in our lives? We become anxious, solitary, short-tempered, and sometimes even complain to God. Don't blame God, but blame ourselves for why we never pray. The path we walk is fraught with problems. But who knows if what happens in our lives is indeed too often intertwined with problems. Sometimes worldly egoism is very difficult to explain with human common sense. Even so, do we want to constantly be involved with our wavering convictions? Try to understand the meaning of life by learning from nature. Nature is the only life worth emulating. There's nothing to lose by learning about our natural world. Its beauty surpasses everything we know nothing about. That's roughly what happens with our lives; there's no difference, it's all almost the same. Is it wrong for us to try to be an inspiration? Well, what kind of inspiration can be a role model? But try to start by praying. Because prayer is a powerful means for prayers to be answered; without praying, we will not be successful in what we do. Continuously learning to change ourselves for the better indeed takes time and effort to begin. If you want to be an inspiring person, learn from those who inspire you, not by imitating their speech, body language, facial expressions, or overall demeanor. Be yourself, capable of inspiring others not because of the clothes you wear or how many friends you have. Who gives you the drive to move forward, to be able to become inspiring? There is failure when trying; if we keep complaining, when will we succeed? Be brave enough to step forward to be inspiring, and be willing to learn to admit the mistakes we make. And others will judge how great we are as an inspiration to them. Let others criticize us, no matter how poor or how good we are in their eyes, because that is our benchmark for self-improvement towards future success.   It's not meant to preach, but to convey the significance of our potential to inspire others. What Mario Teguh said is true. There are many other inspiring stories that we need to learn from and apply in our lives.
