Inspired Minds Think Alike
As a researcher and storyteller about people who make a large positive impact on the world and what they do differently, I have seen that individuals who have the real “goods” to inspire others have something that other folks don’t. In fact, they 1 several critical traits that enliven us, light a spark inside of us, and make us want to be better, stronger and bigger.
* They have used all of themselves to make a differenceLook at the most popular TED talks that have gone viral and touched millions of people, and you will see people who struggled in their past but decided to use what they had 2 experienced to learn more, dig deeper, and finally, help 3 positive change for others. These in-spirers have grown 4 being totally authentic(本真的)and open about who they really are. They no longer worry about being rejected, scorned or put down. They have grown beyond feeling that they have to hide or suppress parts of themselves in order to be accepted. And it is their very 5 to use all of themselves -- openly and courageously -- that inspires and encourages us to do the same.
* They express love and appreciation openly, and have deep empathy for others. Those who inspire us to be better are fully capable of experiencing empathy, and they openly express their ability to understand our personal “stories” and what we feel deep down. Instead of overprotecting us, they 6 who we are inside. This makes us feel 7 about reyealing our more authentic selves to others and allows for us to even more fully broaden the definition and sense we have of our own 8 all without having to worry about being embarrassed in the process. Love and acceptance is at the basis of what they do. Look at those who have made the biggest positive difference throughout history. Invariably, there is compassion and appreciation at that heart of who they are and what they stand for.
* They believe in collective powerThose who inspire others believe in collective power so that positive change can happen more quickly. Their focus is not directed at 9 or solely trying to build up their own wealth, power and influence. They want to see others rise, grow and expand. That’s what fuels them and motivates their actions, business, and growth strategies. In doing so, they can become wealthy, powerful and influential, but this is only a by-product of their focus, which is directed at expanding collective strength and power, while working to 10 that whatever they do continues to make a positive impact on the world.
Which of theses traits inspires you most to be more of yourself?
