You’ve just read some incredible quotes from some of your go-to gurus. You could have found the quotes on a site just like this one! They could be from Gandhi, Lennon, Oprah or any other number of inspirational men and women who you’ve come to rely on for some quick-fix motivation boosters.
You’re inspired! And nothing can stop you. Until 2 hours later, when motivation is wearing thin and the emotional high you had felt only an hour ago has been replaced with some serious disillusion. Where did all of that inspiration go? Why is it that inspiration only seems available on a time-limited offer?
You probably already worked it out, but the harsh truth of it is this, inspiration doesn’t last. The problem is that too many of us see inspiration as something we need just the once, usually at the very start of a big project or plan of action. We mistakenly believe that once we’ve experienced that one, big burst of inspiration we’re all ready and fired up to make things happen. This isn’t necessarily the case.
Inspiration isn’t something we should seek in small, infrequent chunks. The key to remaining inspired is to look for inspiration in everything we do. Inspiration doesn’t come only in the form of quotes or dramatic rags-to-riches stories. Inspiration can just as easily be found in the unlikely and every day, and that is the key to getting re-inspired.
