Inspiration

A song by the 70's band Chicago? Maybe its why we do what we do. Perhaps this is how we make sense of all that is coming at us in life. Separate the good from the bad, the important from the trivial.

The Dictionary defines "inspiration" as,

1. Stimulation of the mind or emotions to a high level of feeling or activity.
2. An agency, such as a person or work of art, that moves the intellect or emotions or prompts action or invention.

Two things to notice. First, mind and emotions have to be involved. Second, it must lead to action. I don't want to do things because I "have" to but because I "want" to.

There are "agencies" all around us...perhaps even some that make us write blogs. :)
