Inspiration

“If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put foundations under them.”

Henry David Thoreau

If inspiration is real then it is inspiring. Kind of a circular statement I know but what I’m getting at is the feeling of inspiration is something inherent in each one of us. We know it when we feel it in ourselves and we know it when we see it in someone or something else.

Inspiration can’t be manufactured -- it already exists and our job is to give it expression through all that we create in our lives and in the lives of those around us.

At every moment we choose either consciously or unconsciously to act with inspiration or not. For the next 30 minutes try to be a natural channel for inspiration and then decide if it was worth the effort.

Take a look at these two videos which I think capture a young woman’s inspiration and her courage to act on it. You’ll probably cry a little, I did.
