"For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream." ~Van Gogh
Looking around at the world, it seems to me that everyone is inspired in s
ome way. Some people are more reserved about the things that inspire them, while others speak out and make clear what it is that drives them to become something great. If you look for it, each person has something that brings a twinkle to their eye and a smile to their lips. When I look at anyone I have ever admired, I find that it is their ability to be inspired that has lead them to where they are now.

No matter what a person does, a certain amount of inspiration is necessary. How can a person succeed when they are not passionate about what they do? Teachers need to have a passion for their students and subjects; cooks need to have a passion for the food and flavors they create; carpenters need to have a passion for building something that will last a lifetime. No person who does much of anything does so without inspiration and passion, and anyone with these key ingredients goes on to inspire passion in others. This leads to greatness.
Inspirations give us dreams. What it all comes down to is what makes us dream. There are different poems, songs, and pictures that inspire me. They inspire different thoughts and emotions within me each day. What is important about these is not necessarily what they look or sound like, but rather that they inspire. They inspire masses of people in the same way that a cook, a teacher, and a carpenter are both inspired and inspire in turn. When one person can write, paint, or say something that leads others to feel inspired, one of the greatest abilities of human kind is illustrated. Humans are unique because of their ability to inspire and to be inspired by others. So when you think of the things that inspire you, remember that these things touch your life and lead you to dream and to feel passionate about the things around you. Those inspirations let you dream and those dreams make your life great. In reality, a Van Gogh painting does more than look pretty. It makes us think of things we normally wouldn't. It invites us to stretch our minds. This is the true genius of inspiration.
