When you are sad, tired and stuck because of failure in your life, what do you do to get inspired/motivated to continue what you're doing or to start a new one?
Do you read inspirational quotes/books, talk to someone special, go to somewhere, or do something else?
I look forward to hearing your experience.

Yes, I would accept my failure and find solutions instead of telling myself this is just a dream :D.
Hi Megaparsec.
I try to analyze my life from different points of view to find out how can I make it right. But, when I'm feeling too sad or frustrated I go to see my friends' kids or play with my dog, or talk to my family, or read some book, I try to do things that make me feel good. Sometimes I run from the problem for a while to cool down, and after that, with a calm, or at least, less frustrated mind, I can look for a solution.
About motivation, I use other people experiences, people who faced so many problems and overcome them all, and I think about my grandpa who always believed in me and encouraged me.
Yes, the innocence of kids, the unconditional love from family, loyal dog are endless inspirations which make you want to be better.
You're inspired by people and other people are inspired by you. It's a great circle.
I watch a lot of "feelgood" movies like The Shawshank Redemption or The Physician. I think we get a lot of help from people around us that is why we share ideas and thoughts through movies,books and other things external because people inspire other people. I guess for me inspiration means that we are meant to share that goodness within us to others. Btw I am inspired by a lot of your work too! :)
I watched The Shawshank Redemption few times and it's really inspiring. But this is the first time I hear about The Physician. I will check it out :)
I like the part when people inspire other people. ^_^ Thank you for your nice comment.
Ok I got you ^_^ Thanks for your answer.
Dear Maya,
Yes, when you're inspired you're full of positive energy and we can feel it by seeing you or talking with you. It's great that you can inspire yourself. You know many people have to struggle to find inspiration from outside. That's why I see there are people whose job is an inspirational/motivational speaker.
Hi Ahmed,
Thank you for your comment. How many inspirational books have you read? Is there the time when a book which used to inspire you becomes boring and you have to look for a new inspiration?
