Inspiration
Eda Selin Erkan
Inspiration is a powerful force that lights creativity and motivation . The spark prompts ideas , fuels passion , and encourages individuals to pursue their goals . We feel motivated when we are inspired . Being inspired empowers us to pursue our dreams and goals with high energy and confidence . Consequently , inspiration plays a vital role in shaping our thoughts and actions . It is the stimulant for innovation , growth and enthusiasm .
In my view , inspiration is an abstract concept , finding concrete manifestation through individuals or objects that embody its essence . I liken inspiration to the nature of talent ; just as a talented person can be a source of inspiration and use it well ; inspiration itself has a natural quality . Talent , often perceived as an inherent trait , shares this characteristic with inspiration .
We become inspired through experiences , observations , or interactions that resonate deeply with our emotions or values . If I were to give an example from myself , as someone who has been painting for eight years , I drew inspiration from the painting styles of artists in the BTEC program I took this year . For instance , Salvador Dali , Jenny Saville , Johannes Vermeer , Frida Kahlo … are some of the artists I drew inspiration from .
Consider ; the widespread habit of looking up to idols , which starts in childhood . Each of us has had an idol , whether a musician , a leader , an educator , or even a maternal figure . These figures become enduring sources of inspiration , shaping our ideals and serving as wellsprings from which inspiration flows .
In summary , I believe inspiration shapes our lives and adds a touch of romance to our existence . In addition , inspiration is closely connected to various concepts , like language and thought . Language allows us to express thoughts , and thoughts enable communication through language . Thus , we should not neglect or isolate inspiration . Where there is inspiration , there is also talent , courage , experience , optimism , and excitement .
