What do you do when the inspiration is just not flowing?
Hey, watch closely and I'll show you how to unlock your mind, unlock your heart
and get that inspiration.
Inspiration is going to make a big difference in your life because you can
be in tune to your surroundings and in tune to the people you're working with.
And when you're not in tune, you're going to find yourself making decisions that are
just slightly off. So, what does it mean to be in tune? It means that you are
aware and observant to all of the surroundings around you and you're able
to literally interpret them at the most accurate level you really could ever
have. So, for me, finding inspiration is a game changer. So, how do you become more
inspired? How do you bring on that inspiration to help you? So you're in the
right place at the right time to learn the right things.
So, there's actually steps to make this happen. And in my quest in my life, I have
tested and tried so many different things. And I want to share with you some
very simple steps that you can really take action on today that can help you
put yourself in a place of receiving higher levels of inspiration. Now,
what's cool about this is you you take action to make this happen.
You know, you may have a friend or somebody that you know that you think, "Oh,
my goodness, they're just natural at that." Well, for the people like you and me
who are not natural at this, we can still learn the skill. We can still acquire
this ability to really be in tune to our surroundings and gain that inspiration.
So, here's the number 1 real step you ought to take. Here's the number 1 is
teach what you know. Teach what you know. And let me show you in this diagram what
that's going to do for you. You see, because when you teach, you are combining
what you're thinking and what you have in your heart and then that is what gets
shared with the people. And when you pull from your mind and you pull from your
heart, the very things you understand, the very things you love about life and you
go to teach somebody and share with somebody, it literally pulls that
information up and down from your mind and
brings it into your voice and it comes out into a message. And you become a
person who is sharing messages. Now, you may, you know, you may think that you
don't know that much like, "Kirk, what would I teach? What would I say to people?"
Well, you think about all the wisdom and advice you've given people in the past.
Offer to help people, offer to help solve problems for people and really attempt
to help people solve what's going on in their life. And you'll find, you pull
advice and past experiences forward that then come from you and create messages
for other people. Now, this is what you call priming the pump. Because when you
go to share these messages of advice or wisdom with others, you actually pull
inspiration into you. You know, it's when when your mind has the information
coming from you out to other people, your mind is going to reach out and look for
other wisdom, other advice, other insight. So, literally, the more you share, the more
you're going to be inspired. Does that sound crazy? But it's so true. You ask any
person who is a teacher. Ask any person. A school teacher, you know, at a university,
a high school, grade school, somebody who teaches in the community or works with
people in any direction. Those people who teach tend to find they are more in tune
and inspired in their own personal life. It is one of the reasons why I decided
to become a presenter and a trainer is because I love the inspiration that
comes to me while I'm teaching. Before I'm teaching, while I'm teaching, after
I'm teaching. And the more information I can share, the more new information comes
to me. It's crazy but I've met so many people who have asked me, "Hey Kirk, what
did you do to be able to find this level of being inspired about what to do and
how to teach things?' I don't know, you teach what you know and then more will
come to you. It's like you got to unload everything you know and don't hold
anything back. You just unload, teach people everything you know. And then it
drains all that information from you. But it fills it right back in. It is the
coolest thing in the world. When... I teach live events. You know, I have a 1 day 2
day 3 day classes and I literally have 54 events that I teach every single year.
I know, it's crazy. But I love teaching because the before, the during and after.
All the inspiration that comes to me. Because I'm trying to help people. And
why would not the good things of life come to a person who is attempting
to help people? The more you teach, the more you're going to find inspiration
coming to you a lot easier. Now, that right there is a big Kirk secret for you.
So, if you're wondering, you know, what what could you do today to be able to
pull upon that type of level of inspiration? Well, reach out to a friend,
text them, email them, call them and find out what they're struggling with. What
are they up against or what kind of goal are they trying to go for and see what
you can do to help them. Give them advice, give them encouragement, share some
wisdom with them and you'll begin the process today.
Now, here's some additional things you can do to really raise that
level of finding inspiration. So, number 1 is teach. You got that right but it's
not teach once a year, its teach as many times as possible. The other part is, you got to
sat into nature. There's so many times I've sat out in nature where
literally setting under some trees or you know, watching the Ducks in the pond
or the birds flying over top that I find inspiration. But you see, when I go into
nature, I'm asking questions. You don't go into nature all by itself without asking
questions. The person who is searching for answers is literally drawing upon to
themselves inspiration. Now, if you think you're stuck or you think you're up a
bit against a big challenge that can't be solved, you're not going to find
inspiration. Because you think that this is all it's going to happen. This is it.
Everything's done, it's finished, it's final. But if you're the type of person
who is searching for answers, searching for understanding,
searching to solve a problem or searching to be able to find a better
way to achieve your goal that you have set. But if you're the kind of person
who's asking questions and you're searching in your mind or in nature or
with the people around you, you're going to get inspired. So, be the kind of person
who continues to ask questions. But sitting in nature with questions in my
journal, really has been quite an eye-opener. So, what I do is I get my
journal, I write the questions down of the things I don't know and I go sit
nature and I look around, look at the mountains, look at the clouds, look at the
trees, look at the branches of the trees, the flowers. And literally pondering and
looking for is there anything in nature that can teach me? The other... It's
probably about 3 about 3 months ago, I was out in my backyard and I was
struggling with something. I couldn't figure out what to do in this particular
situation my life and I took my journal and I wrote down one question. And I sat
there underneath the tree, looking around for the answer in nature. And as I was
sitting there, I was looking at the tree and I was, you know, observing about the
branches and the pine needles and the pinecones and I was thinking about
the roots that go down into the ground. And as I said they're really looking and
thinking about this particular tree that I was observing, the idea came to me what
really caused the problem that I was facing. And I realized how the problem
got solved and I then began to realize how to unwind that, so I can turn it into
a solution. I'm sitting there under the tree, writing down all these ideas that
are coming to me. I come running back in the house, all excited and Kim goes,
"Wait a minute. just tell me, just tell me. Did you go out and sit next to a tree?"
And I was like, "Yeah, it's outside sitting beside the trees." She goes, "Every time you do, you
come back with answers." I walk out there with questions. People who have questions
get answers. Nature has answers. But I've got to first prime the experience by
being willing to teach. You know, you can teach kids, teach your friends, teach
anybody. But I know why you don't teach and notice that this is still number 1.
If you don't teach and you don't think you can be a good
teacher, it's one of the reasons why your brain is all plugged up and stopped
right now, is because you don't have a way of sharing what you know already. So,
find some ways. Do a video. Make an audio, text your friend. You know, the
next time you're hanging out, people say, "Hey, can I... You guys up against,
let me help you with something." But when you open up and begin to take on these
first 3 steps here, you're going to notice. Notice really quick what can
change in your life and that inspiration starts to flow. Then number 4. It says,
"A.M." So, there are some people awake at that time. But between 3:30 and 4:30 in
the morning. The outside is so calm. It is really peaceful. No birds are awake.
I mean, they're all still sleeping but everything around you is really still
and quiet. I have found it, is the best time of the day for me to think and
ponder on the questions that I have. And it's when I receive the highest level of
inspiration. So, if you've been wondering what time of day or when's the best day
or one's the best moment to solve the challenges and problems you're facing?
Get up early. If you get up when everybody else gets up, then all the
business is happening. If you get up when everybody else gets up, it's noisy
outside and you literally wake up to the same chaos you had yesterday. The same
chaos you had yesterday. How are things supposed to change and you're not
willing to change. So, here's 4 things to change. Get up
early, get your questions written down, be the kind of person who's searching and
really turn yourself into a great teacher. And notice what happens. The
inspirations going to show up. You're a natural at it. Open up your mind, open up
your heart and literally open up your mouth. And share what you know and it
will be filled. Okay, time to share. How do you find inspiration? And something else
I want you to think about. You got to consider coming in attending my art of
mentoring program. It is a way to be able to empower your
mind and open up your heart to the next level. And literally get out there in the
world and teach others how to do it, too. So, I look forward to seeing you. Click
