I am such an inspiration junkie that I was actually looking for an inspirational quote about inspiration! It is surprisingly hard to find. So I decided to make a few of my own:
“Inspiration is not a side dish or dessert. It is the seasoning sprinkled in everything you eat. Without it, life just tastes bland.”
Every day I wake hungry for poetry, music, and beautiful images. I have to challenge the voice in my head that tells me I am spending time on unimportant things and that the minutes and hours I spend consuming inspiration is utter indulgence.
I like life to be delicious. And the ideas that flow from this time bring clarity, focus, purpose, and oh-so-much energy into my days. Things feel less routine and more intentional. I move from a place that is grounded in my own being and more able to express myself authentically.
What part of your life could use a little seasoning?
“Inspiration is often found in the everyday stuff of life when you decide to look for it.”
Over time, I have been cultivating the belief that amazing things are happening all around me. That people are surprising and nature is wise and life wants to inspire me. And so, a funny thing started happening. People started surprising me in wonderful ways, I started seeing fascinating things in nature I used to overlook, and I began to get creative ideas from the everyday stuff of life.
This does not mean that everything is rainbows and butterflies. In fact, much of what inspires me comes from how people transform their pain, the caring hearts that reach out to others in need, the beautiful flowering weeds that grow through the cracks of an urban concrete jungle.
Where will you find inspiration today?
“Inspiration is the practice of connecting with your soul.”
Many of the things we have to do are not very soulful. Our daily life has many to-do’s, routines, and people counting on us. We try our best just to keep up and carving out time to reconnect with your soul can be a challenge.
But I think practicing is worth it because your soul is full of the answers you have been looking for. The secrets are all inside and have little to do with the outside world pulling you in a million directions. In fact, the soul brings all the pieces of you back together into the wholeness that empowers you to create whatever you want in the world.
How will you practice connecting with your soul?
