Action Through Inspiration

By Walt Carvalho

Inspiration is one of the ingredients that all great accomplishments seem to have in common.
Michelangelo was inspired to produce so many exquisite paintings and sculptures throughout his life. Although much of his work was contracted, he seemed to always exceed expectations with his burning desire to reach further in his quest of perfection.

Orville and Wilbur Wright were inspired to be the first to create a flying machine. They had competition, as other people around the world tested their own ideas in ways to make men fly. The Wright Brothers flew as some said it was impossible, it could not be done. The great invention of human flight came to us from two inspired brothers in a bicycle repair shop!

Tiger Woods has been inspired almost his entire life to be much better on a daily basis. He never seems to settle for reaching a destination in golf. Tiger Woods is always taking steps toward his next summit. He is inspired by the love and guidance of his parents and his personal drive in the process of improvement.

What inspires you in today’s marketplace? Are you simply satisfied with what you’ve done or are you like Michelangelo, always looking to exceed expectations?

The Wright Brothers had a bicycle repair shop. You have your office. The Wright Brothers had wrenches, pliers and screws. You have so many social media tools available today to help your business grow and prosper, so why not take advantage of them and create your own flying machine?

Are you content with status quo or are you like Tiger Woods, never settling, always reaching for that next level?

Merriam-Webster defines inspiration as: “the action or power of moving the intellect or emotions”. Your tools are ready and in place. All that is needed is your action.
