The 12 Laws of Performance – Law 1 Be Passionate, Be Inspired

Law Number One Is To Be Passionate

By dictionary definition, the word ‘inspire’ means ‘to fill with the urge or ability to do or feel something’, but what does it mean to you? Do you start each new day feeling inspired by life or are you someone who inspires others on a daily basis? Who or what inspires you and who or what do you inspire?

A great many people and things in life are described as inspirational, so what is it about them that makes them inspirational? For example, inspirational sports players inspire other people to get involved in sport and inspirational entrepreneurs inspire others to think about their own entrepreneurial potential – what is it about them that creates that effect? In the music world or in the creative arts, individuals are inspired to produce works of art through their experiences of the world around them, they find inspiration in what others may consider to be mundane, everyday things – what is it that allows them to find that inspiration? Of course, the work they produce then goes on to inspire others by provoking thoughts and emotions and through this, a cycle of inspiration develops. But, the question remains; what makes someone inspirational and where do those we see as inspirational get their inspiration from?

Every single one of us has the ability to inspire as well as be inspired. Inspirational people have found something in their lives that they feel passionate about and it’s that passion that inspires them and makes them inspirational. When you find your passion, when you find something you love in life, you find your inspiration and through your passion, you continue to inspire others.

“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive”
