Articles can come in many different forms and different authors will choose to go in different directions with their articles, but the articles that seem to stand out the most are the ones that inspire others. If you have an article that really and truly inspires others then it is much more likely to get passed around to others. But how do you go about writing an article that will inspire others? It starts most often times with an inspiring topic.

If you have found a recent news story that tells about some heroic event then this might be the perfect starting point for writing an inspiring article. If you were told a story when you were little about someone overcoming the odds (think of the children's story "The Little Engine That Could") then you may be able to elaborate on this story and create an inspiring article. Starting with an inspiring base story will take you a long way when it comes to writing an inspiring article.

If you do not have a certain story that you are going to base your article off of then you may wish to take a general theme of 'encouragement' and run with that. For an example, let us think ...
... about writing an article on getting out of debt. Countless millions of families around the world are in debt and have a hard time paying the bills. Your goal is to create an inspiring article to offer them encouragement about getting out of debt.

Begin by painting the picture for them of what life would be like after the debt is completely gone. Show them a beautiful scene in their minds of how freeing an event it will be once they are completely out of debt. Once you have painted the picture in their minds, share encouraging steps that they can systematically take to accomplish this goal of debt freedom. Let them know that they should celebrate when they achieve even the smallest of milestones. By offering praise and encouragement throughout your article, you will inevitably be creating a very inspiring article that may bring hope to many.

It may help you to imagine as though you are talking to a child as you are writing this article. Children will do best as they are encouraged along. You would not criticize a child for not being able to ride their bike on the first attempt, or even on the first day. In a similar manner you would not criticize readers of your article by telling them how wrong they have done things so far. You would instead encourage them to go on to do better things in the future and in doing so would inspire them on to better lives and more hopeful futures.
