Needing to be inspired...
Hello everyone,
I hope that when you read this post, you are happy and healthy. Remember that you need to stop the spread of Covid-19 by playing your part. Wash your hands, don't touch your face and only leave the house when you have to.
There are days, sometimes many...where you just need some inspiration. Whether it is through a book, a quote, a song, a poem, a person or anything else. For some reason, quotes affect me because they are short and they, at times, just hit the nail and BOOM...INSPIRED.
I am currently working on a big project. I am not ready to share it but know that it has to do with writing and creativity. I am learning a lot about my new project because when I start it, I want to be ready to go and able to maintain it.
What inspired me?? The book from Rachel Hollis - Girl Stop Apologizing (this is NOT sponsored) and as I was reading it - BOOM...INSPIRED!!! Why did it inspire me so much???
For one, this author is genuine and she says it like it is. For another, she has struggled and she never says that she got things easy. She is honest about how she got to where she is. She also appears to have some things in common with my own situation and it reminded me of that quote from C. S. Lewis: " Friendship...is born at the moment when one man says to another 'What! You too? I thought that no one but myself...'" - The Four Loves. Now...woah, no, I am NOT friends with this author, but she would be someone that I could see being friends with because we have much in common.
Rachel Hollis has gone through some of the dilemmas that I have gone through and am still struggling with. For this main reason, her advice rings true and well because she knows...and having someone know what you, yourself, have gone through, it gives credibility and it tells me that I can trust her.
And so, when I need a boost, I try to listen, read or pick up on something that may give me what will allow me to DO instead of just DREAMING about doing it. It does not always lead to being motivated, but when it does, it is a great feeling.
What do you do to be inspired? Does it always help? What does not inspire you? Please share and let's build our community.
Until my next post, keep safe and healthy and be kind to others - there is too much hatred going around - let's prevent the spread of Covid-19 but let's never stop the spread of kindness.
