Inspirational Photograph - Breaching the Berlin Wall

This is just a very sobering photograph to me. To me, it depicts the desperation of a separated people who have finally been given reunited.

It might sound quite odd that I find this image of the Big Bang to be inspirational, but it actually is. From my perspective, looking at this image reminds me of how lucky we are to be on this planet. From a scientific point of view, it is largely a series of accidents that led to our existence. Realising that makes me really appreciate being a live and inspires me to make the most of it.

Aside from that, realising that the Earth and the Universe have come about through sheer chance makes the world seem all the more beautiful to me

Inspirational Scripture Passage - Luke 10: 30-27

Inspirational Scripture Passage - Luke 10: 30-27

# data[].attributes.body
A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who stripped him and beat him and departed, leaving him half dead. 31 Now by chance a priest was going down that road, and when he saw him he passed by on the other side. 32 So likewisea Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But aSamaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was, and when he saw him, he had compassion. 34 He went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he set him on his own animal and brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 And the next day he took out two denarii[a] and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, ‘Take care of him, and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.’36 Which of these three, do you think, proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?”37 He said, “The one who showed him mercy.” And Jesus said to him, “You go, and do likewise.”

This is the parable of the Good Samaritan. It is undoubtedly the most inspiring scripture passage to me personally. I'm sure it also inspires others. It is basically a call to social justice. In the end of the passage, Jesus calls for his followers to show mercy to all, no matter what race, religion of social group they are from. This passage hasn't inspired me directly, however it is nonetheless in keeping with the values of social justice that I try to practice.

For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him.
This passage does convey a message that is quite aligned with my set of beliefs and which I think could inspire others to act out its message. To me it is advocating social inclusion. For no matter what colour your skin is, what religion you practice or what your personality is like, we are all human beings. If there's any point to being on this earth, it should be to make others lives as blessed as yours. I strive to live out the themes of this passage in my own life and I am sure that others would too.

Spiritual Practice That I Would Recommend - Nuch's One Minute Challenge

Spiritual Practice That I Would Recommend - Nuch's One Minute Challenge

# data[].attributes.body
On each retreat, Mr Antennuci has recommended to me what I now call "Nuch's one minute challenge." Basically, the challenge is to sit for one minute each day, in quiet, and just be thankful for everything that you have and also be mindful of others who don't have the same fortune. You might be thankful for any number of things: from the friends you have to the school you go to.

More importantly, in this process of contemplation one needs to compare their blessing with others and remind themselves how fortunate they  are.

For me personally, this doesn't entail being thankful to anyone or anything (God), however it is nonetheless a highly spiritual practice as it is central to my development as a human being. By understanding that I have been blessed with opportunities that may could never dream of, motivates me to achieve my potential.

Another Inspirational Poem - Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night by

Another Inspirational Poem - Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night by  

# data[].attributes.body
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on that sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

By Dylan Thomas

To me this poem is about making your life count. When death is at my door, what will I have to look back on? Was my life worthwhile? Will people remember me? Will my candle quietly burn out unnoticed, or will I rage into death. It's a challenge to take the risks that make my life meaningful.

A song or piece of artwork that is inspirational - The Passenger by Iggy Pop

# data[].attributes.body
This song is inspirational to me because it motivates me to take control of my life - to not be the passenger. In the song, Iggy Pop, depicts the struggle of a man who is being taken for a ride. Suddenly, in the second verse, he looks back and sees a sighed and hollow sky - a wasted life. If anything I do not want to look back, like the man in this song, and see nothing but a wasted life. I want to make my life worthwhile. I want to have a legacy to leave behind

There is no single, widely-accepted definition of spirituality. That fact, at least, gives some indication of the nature of spirituality. Perhaps why there isn't one single definition of spirituality is that it is entirely personal. In my opinion, regardless of any religious affiliations, spirituality is the internal experience of the individual - a process of growth, transformation and contemplation.

Spiritual and Inspiring Poem - The Trainspotting Monologue - Choose life

Spiritual and Inspiring Poem - The Trainspotting Monologue - Choose life

# data[].attributes.body
Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players, and electrical tin can openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed-interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisure wear and matching luggage. Choose a three piece suit on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the f#@k you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing f@#%#g junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, f?%#%d-up brats you have spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life - Trainspotting

This poem is possibly the most inspiring piece of writing to me, especially at this stage of my life. To me personally, this monologue holds one message - to choose life, to choose a future. It doesn't matter how awful life might be, just make a choice and don't waste your it.
