What is inspirable about? Inspirable is the capacity to make yourself more permeable to the positive behaviors of those who you connect to. Inspirable is about bonding. Seeing people who you relate to, just normal people, facing many challenges to develop, is what gets you off of the couch to imitate them. It is about joy. There is this irrational rush of energy that flows through your body every time you think about that person or group of people that inspires you. They are the ones who make your most difficult projects feel like exciting challenges rather than unbearable workloads. It is about having a beginner’s mind. It is about dropping our expectations and preconceived ideas and seeing the world with an open mind and fresh eyes. You will realize that being inspirable is the skill that opens the door to acquiring any other skill, the enabler for your growth beyond your wildest dreams. That’s why I like to say, inspirable is the greatest skill of all. This is the user’s guide for developing it.
