There is always something or someone that inspires us. I just finished watching a funny video of a guy who went to church in a very composed manner. You know that mindset of not dancing so that you don't sweat or whatever other thing might have been on his mind. During the praise and worship session he was still sitting. The music was good but not up to his standard so he could keep himself from dancing. The entire scenario changed when the music changed, trust me he couldn't hold himself any longer. This was his favorite song and he was up and dancing like there is no tomorrow. Hahaha, a very funny one, his dance moves were outstanding, how would the church know about this if the inspiration never surfaced?
Many of us want to be the best Mom or Dad, best entrepreneur or businessman, best leader or motivator and so on. The truth is, we might have seen someone or a group of persons acting this out and we loved it. Inspiration is a needed fuel I must say, especially in days when you feel you can't push further any longer. It will seem it was never your thing. Ok, then how come my role model scaled through?. The big question that always gets us back to the drawing board. If he did it, of course I can. So what really inspires you? I guess the reversal question is 'Dani, what really inspires you?' I used to talk less and keep my thoughts to myself until I joined Hive. Hahaha, I have really learned how to express myself without chewing my fingers, inspiration right? Ok, I will be doing a run down of vital sectors of my life and where I got my inspirations from.
My faith
source
I don't know for you but as for me I am a believer and a full time follower of our Lord Jesus Christ. Let's not argue religion (if I even do have time for such things), all what I am saying is that I love the faith I have grown to embrace. It wasn't really so in my early days although I grew up in a Christian home. It is only a pity that many of us answer Christian by name or religious attribution and nothing more. So how did I personally get to know Christ? I was inspired, I should first let you know the force behind it was first spiritual. How would you just wake up one day and decide to complete the entire Bible? You know what I mean, that spiritual inspiration for truth pushed me.
From reading the bible, I met my first role model; job, a man from the land of Oz who was both 'wealthy and blameless', Job 1:1. God even confirmed his blameless life and I was left in awe, so a man can truly be blameless?. I wanted to be this generation's Job who despite having so much prioritizes God and shows love and kindness to his neighbors. From pressing forward, I met Daniel, I never really understood the impact of my name until I met where it was drafted from. He was a man of wisdom and understanding with high reference to his creator. He was nicknamed 'a man with an excellent spirit'. I have met many others in the scriptures with Abraham and David inclusive yet I really do merge the qualities of Job and Daniel together and with constant study Christ, the master of them all was revealed. I can stay to describe the quality of the man Christ and we will get an entire novel out of it.
My business
The first business book I read was 'The Holy Bible'. I know you are astounded but this stands very true. In my quest for 'how to become successful', I met successful men in the scriptures and the secret to wealth. I got a big boost into the world of finance and started reading books from Robert Kiyosaki. My mentality changed till date and there is no going back from here, wealth can be made even from scratch. Many may doubt this yet one needs a spiritual backup when running the success course, most time it is not by hard work, favor is a realm that is enforced from the spiritual realm.

That is why many rich fellas understand that secret behind giving and showing love, it has a multiplier effect. Even in tough times in business I still keep pushing, I am inspired by first the Bible (and its true stories) and other mentors that I have met and read their books thus far. Job, Abraham, Solomon, Daniel, David and many others were all rich men, learn from this. In short, the richest book is the Bible yet it is mostly absconded by many.
blockchain and Web3
My early days of crypto was a rollercoaster, I lost so much (it was by then) because I was chasing after quick gain and also lacked proper mentorship. In short, The Bible and my mentors warned me severally against diving heads in to what I know little to nothing of. Hmmm, humans are always daring until their lust traps them. I lost hope in anything about crypto until I joined Hive. I met a lot of people who helped me to gradually feel among. My love for writing was rekindled, something I let go many years ago. So one could really make profits out of crypto instead of crossing fingers and depending on wild fluctuating prices? Hive taught me that. I have learned from early adopters who are benefiting from their stakes and leaving a better life. I will also have to put in some time and effort to get there, yet the inspiration is very vital.
To conclude, let me add, life is all about getting motivated or inspired to do or start a thing. Having a mentor or role model is very necessary. The best time you even need them as earlier said is when bolts go nuts. A baby is inspired to walk because he sees everyone around him up and running. He will continue to try and even cry in the process when he finds himself unable to. To give up is a no as long as he keeps seeing others walking, that's what inspiration can do. We all know the latter end of the baby's story. Do well to keep what inspires you alive and much better if it positively affects you, others and the environment at large.
