Inspiration

Go on. Go ahead. Look around. Do you see all of the times you have inspired yourselves and others? Examine what you have said or written. Investigate your old diaries, journals or notes. Review any article or book you may have written. Not to mention any of the times someone came to you who needed help digging through their own ideas.

How many times have you cleared the muddy waters for someone else in the last week? How often did you dig a little deeper, do more research and solve a problem of your own? Something that appeared unsolvable turned out to be anything but that. It’s just that no one had yet figured out what was needed to clear the air.

In spite of this being the new year of anno domini 2024 (or thereabouts) we have extraordinary possibilities. We can look back at prior years to examine where we have come from. Consider where we might head. There are so many options before us.

Inspiration!

Any time we open our eyes, our minds and our souls to creative motivation, our lives and our world move forward. We are agents for change. We bring progress to our world. Ideas become reality.

It is our decision whether we will backslide into negative change or be truly daring and commit our lives to constructive growth.

We humans forget that we stand in the fulcrum of time. What we decide to do and how we decide to change are far weightier determinations than we might realize. It’s more than whether we want the red or the blue popsicle.
