Inspiration

There is inspiration all around us and when you are in performing arts you need to be inspired in many ways. You need to be inspired to just get out of bed in the morning when you are tired, to do the best you can on stage, to look the best you can, and to feel the best you can. I have learned that there are two different types of inspiration, inner inspiration and outer inspiration. The majority of good athletes have inner inspiration. They strive to be the best they can be. It’s the same with singers, actors, and performers.

You can also be inspired from the outside like if you see or hear something that is just so amazing that you need to be able to do it, or, as many teenagers would know, parents can be exceedingly motivating, with the threat of diminished allowance and less time out with friends, but it is inspirational just the same.

It tends to be that the people who try harder every day to be better every day are the ones succeed the most. That’s not to say that the other inspiration can’t do well. They definitely can., and have. In fact I would classify myself as a person who needs an extra push. Most of the time inspirational speeches help that.

Before show choir, before a show, before surgery…okay so I’m not one hundred percent sure on the surgery one…but for the others, there is always time for inspirational speeches by directors or leaders and I think it is those, extra little, pushed that make people do their best and leave everything they have on the playing field.
