Question

Do you think people have to look for something to give them inspiration to move on in life?

Answer 1

Majority are not self made,so they look for something for inspiration.

Answer 2

Personally speaking I don't need to have something inspirational to move on in life, but seeing inspiration all around me does spur creativity. It also  makes me feel a sense of gratefulness to  notice and appreciate the many aspects of life that are indeed inspiring all around me.And I think gratefulness in itself brings about a sense of happiness and makes you more aware of the good in your life..

Answer 3

Sometimes the spark that could light your inner fire has to come from outside...But there are times when we get impelled on our own...as if magically!

Answer 4

Yeah. It's just the way we are, really. We all  need a little push sometimes :)

Answer 5

I think that some do, and some don't. I think that religion exists, for the most part, to accomodate those who do need something to look forward to. So many people look outside themselves for inspiration, for truth, for encouragement, and for answers. There is nothing wrong with that, IMHO, it is just different than the way I choose to "do business". I've heard, many times, the idea that "there is always someone worse off than me, and it makes me feel better about the situation I'm in". Why not just learn to be happy no matter what situation you're in, choose to take control of your emotions and reactions on your own? Because some people are not intended for that path, or are not ready to learn the hard lessons required to follow it. Not better or worse than anyone else, just a different propensity, a different capacity for coping.

As I believe in reincarnation, I also believe that people who choose to learn and grow will have the opportunity to follow a different path in the next incarnation.

Blessings!

Answer 6

Yes. It can be very difficult for people to move on without something pushing them forward in life, whether this is a personal goal, work acheivement etc. These things can help greatly, combined with the support & encouragement from others.  

Answer 7

I think yes. I think everytime someone does something good for us out of the way. It not only inspires us, gives us a sense of connection to the bigger better things in life like awe and gratitude. Love can raise the frequency of earth to turn it into heaven. Humans have the potential for great sacrifices, now is a good time. Thanks for a great question. Peace, Love, Joy and Blessings!

Answer 8

I think they have to find it....Sometimes looking is not enough.

Answer 9

I do...I think some people will use anything as a reason...take a look at christianity, for instance. Tah-Dah...
