I've come to realize that I am a negative force in this world. I've always had this feeling here and there but recently I've come to see this much more fully. As much as I want to inspire people and create passion and a love for life in this world, I don't. I may for a moment -- I've been told that I've inspired people in the past -- but eventually, that fizzles out...and worse, it usually goes to the other extreme where people end up harboring anger, bitterness, resentment. I bring bad energy to this world, apparently.
I'm trying to figure out how I can change this, how I can continue to spark passions in people and make people smile and laugh and want to do great things with their lives without it always ending in some kind of relational disaster where someone is unhappy and disenchanted.

I think in order to be an inspiration for others, we need to first be inspired ourselves. I find that many times for me, missing this crucial step is the reason why I run out of fuel.
ReplyDeleteSounds stupid and cliche, but our greatest inspiration is Christ. The gospels is what gives us hopes and dreams in this practical world.
