INSPIRATIONAL SPEECH

Inspiration is a kind of encouragement that makes us willing to continue

pressing forward through hardships and to find meaningful result in the
long run. What inspires us would largely depend on each particular
situation that confronts us. It is sometimes in plain sight. It is often
stumbled upon without intention, and it is sometimes graciously handed
to us in the form of wise words, spoken by experienced and influential
minds.
For those who are feeling aimlessly lost in the journey to find themselves,
those who are feeling stuck under the darkest clouds waiting for a ray of
sunshine and those who simply need a dose of encouragement, heed
these words of wisdom.

From some of the most gifted minds to the greatest influencers of our
generation; from currently eminent leaders to those illustrious leaders
who made a difference and left us too soon, the intellectual lesson we
learned is that we have the potentials to possess such traits and
attributes of these talented persons.
Although, at the start, it is but normal that we have some weaknesses
and flawed experience in our life because of our limitations. But we have
to take note that we are not fastened to only one level of situation for
within our certain limitations, we my qualify to a nobler functions than
we at first was appointed to discharge our abilities. We are endowed
with God-given freewil and intellect as our device to combat our
frustrations and failures in life. However, it is interesting to consider
these frustrations and failures may be our seeds to be sown in the soil of
development, growth and expansion of our endeavors towards success.
Thus, it is ur cherished inspiration that highly successful people are the
ones who have failed the most.
In this connection, here are four steps that can help us turn any negative
experience into a positive outcome:

1.ACCEPT THAT FAILURE IS PART OF THE PROCESS OF OUR GROWTH

This simply means that if we are faced with a setback, understand it is
not our final destination. It is not yet the end of the world. It is a
stepping-stone in our journey that is getting us to where we need to
be.

2. RELEASE OUR FRUSTRATION

Once we have have taken some time to abandon our frustrations for
good and clear our head, we can then begin accepting what
happened. Then we can start facing the reality of the next chapter of
our life’s achievement.

3. BE BRUTALLY HONEST
The most critical part of the process, which 90% of people don’t do,
involves taking a couple of minutes to reflect on what happened and
being brutally honest with ourselves on why it happened. It’s easy to
turn on the TV, pull out the smartphone, or find some form of
distraction. Most people will do anything to avoid confronting their
own self with mistakes they’ve made.
However, if we don’t do this, we don’t learn, and if we don’t learn
then we risk failing insanely. Albert Einstein famously said it was
insane to do the same thing over and over again and expect a different
result. If we don’t learn from our mistakes and failures in life, then we
are doomed to keep repeating them, whether we realize it or not.

4. FAIL FORWARD
We fail forward by learning from our setbacks and making the
necessary adjustments until we succeed. Every change we make,
every person we meet, and every bit of information we absorb is
coming together so we can create a different outcome.
We can’t stop obstacles from appearing in life, but we can choose how
to handle them. They may block our vision temporarily, but if we
persevere then we can discover opportunities that have always been
waiting for us on the other side. As we get more efficient with this
process, we enable ourselves to see the positive side in even the
toughest of situations.
With these steps that I outline, I hope you will be inspired doing
positively, combating mistakes and blunders in our task to promote
the welfare, interest and importance of our club in order to maintain
its being the finest and we altogether take pride that it is only found
nowhere but in the Parañaque Finest 101 Lions Club.
THANK YOU!
