How to Inspire Those Around You

Do you know people in your life that could use a little inspiration? For me, nothing is more rewarding than knowing I’ve inspired those around me to do great things. Nurturing this type of positivity is easier than you might think. These actions can successfully get the people around you to feel the inspiration that you carry around daily.

• Be a positive example. It’s easy to let negativity bring you down, which can in turn affect the people around you. A stronger personality trait is to stay strong and be a person worth emulating.
• Be vulnerable. Those around you will respond positively to you if they know youre human. Understand their perspective, talk about a similar time in which you struggled, and explain how you got through things. When others can relate to you, they feel like they can become as inspired as you are.
• Watch and learn. Inspired people follow other inspired people. Surround yourself with positivity and learn how to put that energy back into the world.
• Challenge people. Challenging those around you could be tough and may not always be reacted to positively at first. However, if you keep your challenges reasonable, you can allow those around you a chance for success. Enabling those around you to feel like a major task has been accomplished will encourage them to be their best selves going forward.
• Encourage others. Encourage people by thanking them for their work. It’s easy to focus on the negative, but a simple “good work” affirmation can give a person a positive outlook during stressful times.
