Inspiration

Yesterday I went to visit a friend of mine, this particular friend is one that I go to visit when I want to feel inspired. He has been a fantastic mentor to me for a good number of years and I always value his opinion, and always walk away from a conversation with him feeling energized and inspired and ready to take on the world.

This friend of mine is a very busy entrepreneur, and it’s hard to schedule time with him but usually for me he just says stop by in the afternoon after four o’clock and I should be free. Yesterday he was working on something for his business partner and he was not free, but I had blocked out a certain amount of time to visit with them in my schedule so I decided I could wait. As I was waiting I was doing some work on my phone (bless the iPhone) and after I finished sending and receiving some correspondence I updated my Facebook status with the following,

“Waiting in line to be inspired.”

As it turned out I was only able to have a short visit with my friend, but I still walked away feeling energized and inspired. But I got to thinking about my status update on Facebook, how frequently do we feel like we’re waiting in line for inspiration? I know that in recent months my real estate job has been so busy that I haven’t been able to focus on some of the things that I like to do the most, one of them being updating this blog, and the other is writing articles on happiness and writing more chapters for the book that I should finish in the next few months. As I look over the last few months it seems that I have been waiting in line for inspiration, I know there are things that I can do and another things that I should do, but sometimes I just end up doing the things that I think I have to do to get by, and wait for the less frequent moments when inspiration strikes me like lightning from the sky. The more time you spend waiting in line for inspiration, the less inspired you really will be.

What we need to do is just go out and live an inspired life, grabbed inspiration by the horns, and never let go.

Yours, in happiness,

Keith
