What motivates us to get out of bed? What motivates us to work? What inspires us to do the things that we set out to do?

Have you ever wondered what inspires you?

In Greek mythology, the muses are, according to the oldest writers, the inspiring divinities of the arts.

That inspiration that the artist feels and that stimulates or favors the creation or composition of works of art… personally can be anything, not just a person.

But when the muse dies, happiness and inspiration die, that is something that has happened to everyone at some point.

Something that I recommend is to use our desires as a muse, since personifying our muse will always have the risk that that person moves away from us, and our inspiration with it.

 But how can we use our desires as a muse?

The more we develop as a person, we realize that life is not so simple, but is that muse that helps us to be a better version and make get out our inner artist, considering prosperity for the future.

A house, a nice car, a full life without problems, or having the affection of that person we idealize so much, are typical wishes that we don’t get that easy and have crossed the mind of more than one, however, I think they should not be a reason for unhappiness. for us.

Finding something that inspires us in our environment can be easy, but it can also be complicated and frustrating, as many of us are just slaves of our environment.

Having money or our image as a muse is valid but is that kind of inspiration worth it? depending on the person who reads this, say yes, or not, personally, my muse is just to be remembered, as a good person of course.

The meaning of Memento mori is that it reminds us that we are going to die, many people take this as an impulse to not leave anything adrift and take charge of their lives. 

Memento mori reminds us that we will only walk this way once, so let us make our footprints be remembered, and try to not be on murmuring lips.

But be aware of your desires just like a chess game each action opens a bunch of ways, but with only one outcome at the end.

Fighting for those wishes to come true is essential for us, let us not wait for fate to grant us those wishes. Fate owes us nothing and we are not going to owe it anything.

We are the ones who shape our destiny, so if you really want those wishes to come true, start by looking around you and notice those details that do not let you move forward. 

Why you are not where you want to be and what you can do to fix it, be self-critical with yourself, try to get out of the hole, and reinvent yourself as a person. 

One of my greatest wishes in this life is to be remembered as a successful person, which is what everyone wants, right? The question is, how do we do it? Where do we start? These are questions I constantly ask myself. 

However, if I look back and see how I have progressed when compared to myself, I feel proud of what I have learned and where I am going.

Therefore, I think that if our muse is strong, and in a certain aspect we are ambitious with our future, this will take us far.
