Are you looking for some relaxing music? Ever heard of Gamelan? This dreamy music from Java, Indonesia features beautiful bronze metallophones and long ringing gongs weaved together with bamboo flute and zither. Click the video below to enjoy 2’30″ of relaxing music featuring Toronto’s own Evergreen Club Gamelan playing a piece called Pengkolan along with some beautiful images.
As humans we all need inspiration. We crave it, we look for it, it’s like we have a special sensor for it. You may not go out the door everyday armed with binoculars looking for it but if we see someone around us who makes our inspiration alarm bell go off, we sure do take notice. Do you have someone you look up to or admire for his or her accomplishments or simply because of how they live their life? I don’t mean movie stars or famous folks, although they can be helpful at times but equally not as often. I mean someone in your circle, in your office, in your family… perhaps its the person with the amazing discipline to exercise every day, someone who is totally organized, someone who seems to get so many things accomplished, someone who never seems to need sleep (I personally really despise them), someone who turns off the tv (closes the laptop) and reads, or someone who always has time to help someone else out.
Most of us don’t really know what makes these inspirational folks tick. They tend not to make a big deal about the things they do that we see as so impressive. (Isn’t that also inspirational?) Most of us tend to be “lurkers of inspiration” knowing that to accomplish the same amazing feats as them would require huge changes in our lives. Another curious thing I have noticed is that most times the inspirational folks don’t even know they are being inspirational. They are just being themselves, no big deal.
Take a moment to look around you and think about who gives you inspiration. Get to know them a little better, and try to understand their motivation. If you are lucky maybe something will rub off. Perhaps you will also learn that you inspire someone yourself.
Who do you look to for inspiration? We welcome your comments.
