Everyone gets a little down in the dumps sometimes. Rather than searching the internet for cat pictures or drowning your sorrows in junk, check out these motivational short stories.here is an inspirational short stories, both real and fictional, to pull you from your slump, make you smile and inspire you.

Inspiration comes in many forms and can strike randomly.  Some days we have an abundance of creative energy which comes naturally, other days it’s not so easy.  Writing, music, art and design all help me foster internal creativity, and I know you probably feel the same way. There are a ton of blogs dedicated to inspiration, and while that is not the main theme I write on here, I do enjoy sharing some of my philosophies on life with you from time to time. I find it extremely useful when other bloggers write quick lists highlighting articles they enjoyed writing because it is pretty easy to miss a post if you follow a lot of blogs. The importance of keeping your mind sharp cannot be overstated. We’re all part of a fantastic intellectual and information economy, which thrives on ideas, creativity and intelligence. Keeping your mind sharp is sure to give you the edge over the competition, and more importantly lead to your own higher levels of happiness. When your mind is...

Whenever there is a hard job to be done I assign it to a lazy man. He is sure to find an easy way of doing it. -Walter Chrysler Laziness is a fairly underrated virtue. It’s synonym made the short list of deadly sins (sloth) and it is often seen as the major culprit behind a lack of success (he’s smart but he lacks discipline). I happen to think the opposite.  Laziness quite often means efficiency and when you combine laziness with a strong drive you end up with the desire to find the most efficient solution possible. I’ve been called lazy more than a few times. Laziness allows me to ask questions that, “nose to the grindstone,” types would completely avoid. Here is a short list of important questions that lazy people ask of themselves that other people don’t: Why am I doing this? Why am I doing it this way? What am I trying to get out of this? Is this the best way to get this done? What would happen if I didn’t do it at all? I’ve been called lazy a few times by ...

 Life isn’t a steady escalator. Sometimes getting better requires that you first get a lot worse. If you can’t admit to yourself that you suck at something, chances are it will hold you back from future improvements. Pride, ego, fear of rejection, call it what you will. The result is the same. Part of you likes your temporary holdout in life. It isn’t the work that scares you, or even the unknown. It’s the fact that in order to move forward you have to get your hands dirty. Examples of “I Suck” Moments Creating Progress I’d like to argue that “I Suck” moments aren’t the rarity. Letting go of what you already have is a crucial part of many improvements. Here’s just a few examples of how failing to utilize “I Suck” moments could hold you back: The Dead-End Job You want to start a business. But you don’t know anything about business. In fact, you’re pretty sure it can’t compete with the salary you are already earning. Your job is comfortable, but it doesn’t make you want to...

What Do You Want to Do With Your Life? What do you want to do with your life? It’s a question almost everyone asks themselves. It’s also a question  I don’t believe you should bother asking in the first place. “I don’t know what I want to do in life, all I know is that  it isn’t this .” That was the sentiment a friend reflected to me. She’s in her mid-twenties, smart, savvy and hard working. But she is still stuck working jobs that don’t hover much beyond minimum wage. Every year, she tells me, that she applies for Universities, but never goes through with it.  Why?  Because she can’t answer that question. Passion Evolves I worry a lot of people fall into the same trap. The trap of believing that they need to make big life decisions before they can start doing anything. The trap that you need to be born with a passion. And the lie that being able to combine your interests with a profession is easy. When people ask me what I’m going to be doing...

                                       How to be happy – introduction Is your life passing you by? Are you so focused on your dreams that you are forgetting to enjoy every day to the fullest and be happy with where you are and what you have now? If you are anything like most people that have a burning desire and vision to achieve something, you could be falling into the trap of being so focused on it that you neglect to enjoy each and every moment on your journey to attaining your goals. I can liken it to the tourist who remarked that the country he was visiting had very nice scenery if only the mountains where not blocking the view. He did not see that the mountains were themselves part of the beautiful scenery. I remember a song "Dont worry,be happy", lol, then in my first year lessons in the music school "TENSTRINGS MUSIC INSTITUTE" my class tutor "Miss Gracedion" will alway...

Waw am here again,just read on ok These inspirational articles are part of articles I wrote for my weekly motivational in school Tenstrings music institute It was proving a challenge to write an article every week, but one which I  enjoyed a lot. After all, if you are too comfortable and not being challenged then something is wrong. At times you need to get out of your comfort zone and do something that requires more from you. That is the only way we grow and growth is not an option for dreamers - it's a necessity. I have received a lot of positive feedback on these motivation articles and most of it has been extremely encouraging and positive. I am sure they will be a great help to you as you reach out to your dreams. I sometimes get inspired in my music classes whenever am looking at a musical instrument,it makes me to do more,sometimes i create a motivating song and write up, Music for me is quite scintillating and is a part of me, what have you been proud of,what are ...

"   I  don't k now " are  three of the most powerful words you can utter. That simple confession unlocks the doors to information and exposure. these three powerful words are  courageou s,sp oken most often by those who have a strong sense of self-worth. curious minds utter 'i don't know" because they want to stretch and extend themselves beyond their limited sphere. their confession of ignorance on a particular topic opens the waynfor teachers to enter and offer enlightenment,wisdom insight,and information                         Do you know it takes courage to admit you don't know something, and courage again to go after knowledge to fill that void. Destiny seekers are secure in themselves,willing to admit they don't know something. There's a saying that you cant learn to swim and hang on to the edge of the pool at the same time......The way you learn to swim is by getting in the w...
