10 Awesome Ways to Inspire People Around You
Do you want to positively impact the lives of others? If you truly desire to inspire the people around you, the best thing you can do is to focus on some fundamental “principles of character” and make them part of your daily life. More than where you work, or how much money you make, or how you look, the way you carry yourself and interact with others will impact how much inspiration they draw from being around you.
Here are some ways you can inspire others to reach beyond themselves and live lives that are more meaningful and successful.
01 - Focus on relationships & Care.
“Nobody cares how much you know, until they know how much you care.”
02 - Earn trust.
If a person you know and love tells you a secret, it stays between you and them. Trust takes a long time to build, but it can be destroyed overnight, so don’t take part in workplace gossip or unnecessary drama in your social networks so you can be a positive influence that people are unafraid to talk to.
03 - Admit your flaws.
Everyone has at least one glaring weakness or two, so accept your short-comings to humanize yourself so people can relate to you on a deeper level.
04 - Be an active listener.
Anyone can hear the words other people say, but not many people can actively listen and comprehend those words to fully understand the meaning behind them. Make eye-contact if someone talks to you about their problems and ask follow-up questions to show them you care about what they are going through and want to understand where they are coming from as well as you can.
05 - Build people up.
Small compliments have a way of brightening any day, irregardless of the dark shadows that may be overhead.
06 - Reach for the stars.
No one will be inspired by a person who resigns themselves to “reality” .
Be ambitious, aim high, and never surrender if you want to inspire people.
07 - Treat everyone equally.
We are all equal human beings regardless of our gender, politics, race, religion, and other factors. Love and care for people without consideration of these irrelevant factors that have no influence on the quality of a person. Treat others how they want to be treated, no matter their background, to inspire trust and confidence.
08 - Walk with confidence.
Keep your head high and eyes forward so you can say, “Hello,” or, “How are you?” to everyone you walk past. Walk with a friendly swagger that reflects confidence in who you are.
09 - Stay calm and cool.
How people react to insults or criticism speaks highly about their ability to inspire others. If you respond to hate with more hate, how are you any better than the person who started the confrontation?
10 - Share your influences.
What books have made a huge impact on who you are as a person? What sources of inspiration help guide the most important decisions in your life? ....
Share the influences that shaped who you are so others can also benefit.
11 - Keep your promises.
It’s easy to ditch our responsibilities when a more interesting opportunity presents itself, but this is a sure-fire way to destroy the trust you’ve worked so hard to earn, so you’d be wise to keep your word no matter what.
12 - Stay true to who you are.
No one will be inspired by a person who resigns themselves to “reality” .
Be ambitious, aim high, and never surrender if you want to inspire people.
