Inspire

Everyone is looking for some source of inspiration in their lives. We want to be inspired, we want to know that there is a reason we get up every morning and we need to feel close to this moment when we lay our heads down at night. What would we have if there was not this amazing moment to strive for in all of our lives? What reason would we have to get up everyday and shuffle through the hum drum of our lives if we knew this was it for us? Well, maybe it is just enough for us.

The dictionary defines inspiration as:

1. an inspiring or animating action or influence

2. something inspired, as an idea

3. a result of inspired activity

The theology states:

4. a) a divine influence directly and immediately exerted upon the mind and soul

    b) the divine quality of the writing or words of a person so influenced.

Basically it is what inspires us to make the choices we see fit everyday and shapes us to become the individuals we are tomorrow. I have spoken to so many individuals through out my short life and after a while I will ask them about their perspective on their own lives. Some say they are content and others will tell me they are waiting to be inspired and once that inspiration hits there will be no stopping them! I will even go as far as to ask them, what inspiration are you looking for? They normally respond by telling me they will know it when they see it! Will they really?

I look around me everyday and see so many inspirational moments that change my life. I see a man helping an old lady to her car........not to rob her, but just so he can help her put her bags in her car. I see a little boy hold his sisters hand as they cross the street after school. I see a daughter who visits her mother everyday even thought her mama will never know who she is again. To me those moments are truly what inspire me. 

It is possible but I don't think inspiration is going to hit you like a ton of bricks. Inspiration is something you must choose to see in this life. Once you see that yes, the smiling lady on the street who waved because she is nice  is an inspiration and the man holding the door open for you is an inspiration. There are no limits to the inspiration you will see on a daily basis. It is like a snow shower. It starts with a flurry here and there and after time it is a constant quietness of snow building and building. You look around you and all you see are that the fields are covered in endless snow and there is a whole new world out there to explore! It is the same for those of you looking for inspiration! There is a sea of inspiration just WAITING on you to dip you toe in!

Tonight when you go home watch others around you, try to find inspiration in silent strangers making a better choice for themselves and others around them. Look at your love when you walk in the door and call to you little ones......they may be little ragamuffins or pups, but they are your family! Look into their eyes and you will see that it is you they waited for all day and it is you who they want to tell everything to! It is you who had inspired them yesterday, today and tomorrow! You are their inspiration and why can't they be yours? What your looking for in this life may not be outside of your front door. Close the door and step back and close your eyes and listen...........those are the sounds of your life, the life you have created in this world............your inspiration. You see, the grass my be different on the other side of the fence but as long as you nurture your grass, your yard will always be the brightest green your eyes have ever seen.
