Inspiration

"Inspiration exists, but it has to find us working."
Pablo Picasso

Inspiration is our intuition whispering to us. It is telling us what we need to do in order to acheive what we really want. Of course, many or most of us don't really consciously know what it is that we really want. But God always knows. God always knows the best way to acheive it too. And intuition is the way God communicates to us what we must do.

Most of us have felt inspired at least once, but we feel that it doesn't happen enough. Wouldn't it be great if it happened all day long. Then it would take a lot less time to get where we want to be. The first thing we need to do is to have a clear idea of what we want. There can be no direction if we don't even know where we are going. But clearly defined goals are not enough.

We must also be taking action to get there. It doesn't need to be the perfect plan, but if we are doing nothing then God is likely to think that we don't really care if we ever get there, that we have no motivation to succeed. In effect, we must help ourself if God will help us too. We need to show God that we are serious about what we want, that we really care, and God will only know that if we are taking some action to move towards our goals. Even if it is just slow baby steps, we need to be heading in the right direction. Inspiration must find us focusing on our goal and working towards it.
