      We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of 
life, when all that we need to make us really happy is something to be 
enthusiastic about.

A Five-Day Spiritual Workout: Day 1 
FINDING INSPIRATION IN OTHERS 
By Dr. Bernie S. Siegel 
 
 
  Inspiration is the greatest gift because it opens your life to many new 
possibilities. Each day becomes more meaningful and your life is enhanced 
when your actions are guided by what inspires you. The following exercises 
will help you discover what generates enthusiasm in your life. I encourage 
you to undertake both the possible and the impossible. True inspiration 
overrides all fears. When you are inspired, you enter a trance state and can 
accomplish things that you may never have felt capable of doing. 
 
Where do you find this type of inspiration? Look deep into your soul and ask 
yourself: What is the purpose of being alive and living on this planet? Your 
souls response will tell you. You can also look for inspiration in various 
myths and parables, but it is most often found when you share your unique 
loving acts with others. 
 
When your heart speaks to you about what you need to do to sustain life on 
this planet, listen to it, make a difference, and be an inspiration for 
generations to come. Be inspired by people like Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Rosa 
Parks, Martin Luther King, Christopher Reeve, Albert Schweitzer, Helen 
Keller, and many others. Now go and add your name to the list and make me 
proud of you. Bring your enthusiasm for life with you everywhere you go, and 
it will be contagious. 
 
Day 1: Who Inspires You? 
 
Our culture tends to idolize people based upon superficial qualities such as 
physical beauty and material possessions. But are these people whose example 
would help us live our lives in a fulfilling way? I know from my experience 
how unhappy people can be when surrounded only by material goods. Even when 
others see them as attractive, they only see their own faults and what is 
lacking in their life. 
 
The people who truly inspire us have an inner beauty. They have overcome 
major obstacles in their own lives and learned how to accomplish meaningful 
change. For this exercise, think of the people who inspire and motivate you. 
Whose motto can you live by? These could be famous people, family members, 
or others. It would be someone who, if he or she won the lottery, would ask, 
Why me? and would use the money to better the world rather than seek 
personal success. It would be someone who, if he or she developed a 
life-threatening illness, would ask, What can I do with this? They are 
people who see more than their personal circumstances. 
 
List the qualities these people have that you would like to emulate, then 
hang a photo of or a symbol representing each person in a conspicuous place, 
so that every time you walk past, you will be reminded of what you admire 
about them. Strive to live your own life in a way that validates their 
message and makes it your own.
