Inspiration is a matter of understanding , what you want to understand , Seeking out what the mind seeks , finding the one that satisfies your sense of satisfaction , and more often then not , it is the simple truths of life that are the hardest to grasp and imbibe in , but as is said , advise is always available , so is solicitation but inspiration has to be sought after .
I found some words of comfort and energy in the words of Christopher Nolan , who in his epic Batman Trilogy , spelled out and brought out the character of Batman so well that he is no more a comic hero but a source of strength when the chips are down, a ray of hope when the light fades , for he may be a hero but he is a hero who can be achieved and emulated , coz for all his heroics , he too is Mortal and Human.
The will to do what is necessary , the strength to accomplish what must be done . When someone points a gun at you , will you stand watching or do something , it is the will to save yourself that makes you do something , what ever, may , it be .
2) Actions Matter More Than Intentions .
“It’s not who you are underneath, it’s what you do that defines you.”
Nobody remembers what you meant to do, they only remember what you do.
The famous words , “Actions speak louder than words “ are a testimony to the wisdom of the past and the understanding of the present , What you do will define you in the time to come and the time that went by , your intentions would only be “your “ intentions unless you act on them .
3) You Need To Risk Failure In Order To Succeed .
“You do not fear death. You think this makes you strong. It makes you weak … How can you move faster than possible, fight longer than possible without the most powerful impulse of the spirit: the fear of death?” [ This is a quote from The Dark Knight Rises ]
To Stand a baby must fall in his days of learning , to fly high the Eagle must learn to take off from a ridge.
The element of risk is what sharpens us , steels our resolve , fortifies our will .
In adversity is the secret to success , only in failure do great men find victory , every fall is a rising step to success . Only if you have the will to rise again – Rise , Rise , Rise Again …
5) “Theatricality and Deception are powerful weapons , you must become more than just a man in the mind of your opponent “
The ability to understand your enemy , or for that matter your adversary , your challenge , the obstacle to your way up counts as an important ability and skill in your armory of weapons in your battle for success , you must always know what when and how about what you’re up against , Never let your target get the better of you .
“you must be more than a man in the mind of your opponent”
6) Organizations and Success Need To Be Built Around Ideas, Not People .
“People need dramatic examples to shake them out of apathy and I can’t do that as Bruce Wayne. As a man I’m flesh and blood. I can be ignored. I can be destroyed. But as a symbol, as a symbol I can be incorruptible, I can be everlasting.”
To inspire people , inspire with yourself but with an idea , an idea that is insurmountable , it is always said , an idea whose time has come is unstoppable , be that unstoppable force let that idea take seed in form of inspiration , because you me and everyone is and will be gone one day or another , but your idea will never be . “As a symbol, as a symbol I can be incorruptible, I can be everlasting.”
When I Go through these Words , these sentences that are so much more than mere words , I don’t see why I can’t do a thing that I set my mind at .
It is in the minds of great men that victories were forged first , it in the will of men that insurmountable challenges were tacked upon . If you want you will .
Steve Jobs learned to pick himself back up. So did Bruce Wayne, and So can We.
