[ A humble attempt at true inspiration. Ideas worth hours of contemplation. ]
A true starting point for a complicated and life changing subject. Definitely worth the time to think on these words deeply. For a long time I was puzzled by the swirling mass of information around inspiration. There are so many "inspirational" pictures, books, music, videos, ideas, etc. But...
One needs only time and effort to breach the innermost core of human existence. Introspection, open-mindedness, kindness, and compassion are the keys and each obtained only with practice. Keys in hand, all the doors of life will simply unlock and stand open before you. - 18:53:42
For me at least the answer was not to struggle, but to learn to flow with the winds of life. Wanting to control everything about our lives is natural; so, it takes great effort and patience to let go and wait for the right moment to present itself and then... take action. Creativity doesn't come from inspiration, it comes from something far more fundamental and to misunderstand is to lack the key. We have come so far and yet we have much further to go though this is not a cause for concern but rather excitement. Curiosity drives us forward and understanding if incomplete will always lead us to further innovation and a greater appreciation for each other. Luck is an interesting topic and everyone always wants to know how to get more of it or how to get it to work in their favor. It seems like one of those stats that we just can't increase on our own, ephemeral and mysterious, but I would argue against this notion. Here's one thing you can do to boost your luck stat: Sometimes starting something is the hard part, but often times the hardest part is continuing to work at it. When things become difficult or there's days when "lack of motivation" feels woefully inadequate, how is it that people simply keep going? Get better even?
