Searching for Inspiration

That's literally what I'm doing right now, searching for inspiration.  What to write?   What to think?  It's strange, really.  Reading through dozens and dozens of quotes, none of them quite sticking.  All of them feeling a little hollow.

There's a lot of wisdom out there.  A lot of motivation.  And we all clamber towards them.  It's why TED talks get so many views and why motivational books are best sellers.  We're all hungry and searching.  The funny thing is that a lot of it is simply regurgitated with a nice new bow begging for more clicks and a new price tag. 

Okay, I'll stop!!  This is getting depressing!  What is this??!!  Cynicism rearing its head.

It's really just this thing I'm feeling that doesn't have words, and if I keep writing long enough maybe the words will come.

But, really, inspiration is good.  A happy quote.  A good piece of advice.  A kick in the pants.  Seeking those who know more than I to help bring new understanding and awareness.  It's all good.  We need it.

But we also need to pause, trust ourselves, and realize we may already have the answers we seek.  

So pause, breath, and trust.  Learn from experience.  Learn from memories and examples.  Realize the depths that are within and don't be afraid.  You know more than you realize.

And if none of that made sense here's a happy little quote I just found:

"What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals." ~  Zig Ziglar 

Have a splendid day,
