Sometimes we can't be inspired other than by others, by the outside world.
Like when you walk on the street, sunshine warms you up, breeze comes by and kisses you on the cheeks, the cloud smiles at you, even the color blue of the sky seems lovely. So you are lit up by nature.
Like when a friend come by and you had a relaxing chat, when you are kindly reminded by the shopkeeper that you forgot your change, even when you come cross some little boys and girls chasing one another freely, you can be lit up by other people.
But there are more time for you to be alone, alone inside, alone at heart. You are just depressed. You don't even think of going out to try your fortune. Then you need to have someone caring about you. He may be humorious to make you happy by telling jokes or making faces. He might be creative and love nature so he takes you to a great place to enjoy the scenery of nature. He might also be considerable and subtle that he just accompany you, taking a walk, singing songs, drawing randomly, or you go to an amusement part to release in craziness for a while.
While, more of the time, you need to have the energy and that tough heart, that strong mind to light yourself up--to remind yourself to go for a walk, to have a look at all those beautiful flowers and trees, birds and bugs, crowds and clouds, to take a shower in a heavy rain, to kiss the wind and the sunshine, to pay a visit to a friend, to help a stranger on the street, to express your love to your life and to the world--you can even cheer others up, light the whole world up, decorate your life and all the lives on earth with your love and happiness.
You can be the candle, you can be a star, you can make that change happen and light the world up!
