“Inspiration” – Creative Possibilities
Imagine a blank paper with the title word, “Inspiration” on it, and nothing else. Contemplate that for one moment. A blank slate (or a blank sheet of paper, in this case), and the one word intended to bring some measure of movement, enlightenment, or beauty to life. What an awesome possibility, right?
Each of us is a creator, filled with this great amount of possibility each and every moment. We have an array of skills at our disposal, a variety of choices we can make, and the result or goal is whatever we intend it to be.
Contemplation Piece: Why can so much of it be a mess at times? Even the best artist or writer will draw something that looks a little “off” or does not feel right in some way. They will erase a line or crumble up the paper and toss it in the wastebasket so they can start all over. That fresh start can make a difference. We do it all the time, right?
Why do we feel that change is so difficult to do, especially when it is something we can do well and often? Sure, we might get a little bogged down at times, or feel that we are only one person and cannot change everything at once. Maybe we take on too much as being “ours,” including the onus to get the big job done. No wonder we can feel overwhelmed, anxious, and frustrated! Yet, the creative job remains to be done.
