Your Magical Spark

Inspiration.

A magical, mystical thing.

Sometimes free-flowing.

Sometimes evasive and elusive.

The rush you get when you feel inspired is uplifting.

A virtuous circle feeding itself.

The blankness you feel when inspiration is nowhere to be seen is frustrating.

A vicious circle feeding itself.

But where does it live?

And why does it matter?

According to the dictionary dudes, inspiration is “the process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something”.

To me, it’s what brings momentum and energy to your life and career.

Making changes because you want to takes energy.

Making changes because you have to takes energy.

Inspiration gives you that boost.

Where you find your spark; your catalyst, is special to you.

What matters is that you take time to understand and feed your path to inspiration.

And remember, eureka-moments are not really rare bolts from the blue. They are the cumulation of many different inputs and angles; perspectives and insights.

So give yourself five minutes a day to feed your soul; your gift to you.

Start by thinking about and highlighting…

Find and nurture your routes to those magical sparks of inspiration.
