4 Misconceptions about Inspiration

Inspiration is characterized as a feeling of pressure (Good Pressure *) stimulated by Ms. Brainiac to attempt a specific activity or interest of an individual (The Oxford Dictionary). It has come to my attention that sometimes, this term is misunderstood when put into context. The following are 4 Misconceptions that I've noticed about Inspiration. Please do give a read, and don't forget to follow my blog, like, comment, and share!

 1. Inspiration and Motivation are driven by the same Forces

Not exactly. To be inspired is to be stimulated by Ms. Brainiac to attempt an activity of interest, while to be motivated is to be driven by Ms. Brainiac to complete something that needs to get done. 

2. Inspirational reads are simply 'Cheesy' Content

I thought you'd say so. But I think you caught the wrong idea here. When read with a purpose, inspirational reads set you up with the ability to process your goals, ambitions, and motives with a spark of passion. These texts aim to not only inspire one individual at a time, but they also allow for the transmission of inspiration from one person to another too. 

3. Inspiration is Overrated

Actually, inspiration is a highly underrated concept. We often get wrapped up in our busy lifestyle, letting the inspiration we require to slip away from us. We fail to not only utilize it on a daily basis, but we also fail to talk about it with our peers. We often forget that inspiration is simply a tool that wakes us up to new possibilities, allowing us to perceive our own capabilities with a sense of empowerment. And when we share our inspiration with those around us, we stimulate them to never give up in the interests they sought to keep up to. So learn to utilize inspiration more often to lead a more positive, and exceptional way of life.

4. Not all Inspirational content promotes Positivity

Again, another false misunderstanding. Inspiration is known for promoting positivity. It promotes challenges, sparks new ways of thinking, and works as a simulator to get going with your interests and passions. Moreover, by being an inspiring individual, you tend to seek better, reach further, and leap higher. That is indeed positive.

  Tamil Heritage Month is observed every January in Canada. Since 2016, the month of January has been dedicated to the Tamil community in order to raise awareness and appreciation for all of the Tamil peoples achievements and contributions up to this point in day. The month of January is also the month in which Tamils across the world celebrate Thai Pongal, popularly known as the Tamil equivalent of Thanksgiving. Thai marks the first day of January in the Tamil Solar Calendar. Thai Pongal is celebrated from Jan 14 - 17 every year. During this time, the Tamil people express their thanks to the sun for shining its light on to Mother Earth. Throughout the rest of the first week of January, Tamils express thanks to everyone and everything who makes our lives not only livable but also delightful.

the very essence of humanity

  Human rights are characterized as a collection of basic human rights and fundamental freedoms which, despite race, class, sex, ethnicity, and nationality, are entitled to every human being. These rights shield us from immorality and are protected by both municipal and international law from the day we are born until the day we breath our last.⁣ ⁣ Human right violations on the other hand can be defined as a form of failure caused by a country or a state to ensure the protection of our basic human rights and fundamental freedoms. These also include the failure to avoid violations committed by private individuals (i.e. domestic violence).⁣ ⁣ With us living in 2021, it is quite alarming for someone like me to notice the numerous violations of human rights taking place around the world today. Some of these breaches, as you all may already know about, exist in the following events listed below:⁣ ⁣ The BLM Movement:⁣ ⁣ The BLM Movement is classified as both a political and soc

Pondering Upon the Bliss of Existence

It’s insane to hear my immigrant parents tell me this over and over again: that we live in a peaceful, democratic society, with many privileges at hand, and that our only goal is to make them proud by becoming really successful. The trauma that they’ve been through is legit, it’s lively, it has never vanished. It’s what makes them speak like such – after all, they'd obviously want nothing other than a better life for their children. But the trauma we go through is never spoken about. Why? Expectations. Obligations. Respect. We are often led by hand to fulfill the expectations of others, obey the elderly, and to always show respect. This puts us like myself at a disadvantage. I’m sure you’d be able to relate when I ask you to think about the following: When you work so hard to please others around you and make them proud, do you fail to look after yourself and most importantly, your happiness? When you work so hard to please others around you and make them proud,
