Everything is Inspiration

Transcript

Let’s talk about the idea that everything is inspiration.

So sometimes people ask me “how do you come up with so much stuff for the podcast?” Putting out these four episodes a week on your own?”

Sometimes I say its divine inspiration but that’s not necessarily insightful answer so of course it’s something to do with hard work.

But not really, not really the amount of discipline it takes… it does take the discipline that when I do feel inspired I sit down and record or that I go through my notes and go ahead and record 3-5 episodes in one sitting.

Not so much the discipline but the perspective, the inspiration and looking for inspiration. Just as it says in the Bible he who asks shall receive.

As a man thinketh so he shall be or something like that. What we look for with our particular activating systems that is what we are going to focus on and that’s what we’re going to find. We do find inspiration, we will find it because everything has within it that spark, essence, potential of inspiration.

As I’ve mentioned in a previous episode sitting in a cafe or outside a cafe watching the trees blow in the wind, the leaves move and the feeling of nostalgia of my youth. Trying to think if it was a gum tree or a eucalyptus.

Anything can be a source of inspiration, as long as it’s properly understood. As long as you have that perspective. Or I mentioned so many times noticing colors and shapes around you. So many things.

I remember when I started becoming more serious about writing I would do techniques from Tony Robbins from Neurolinguistic programing.

He asks these questions to sports champions like how does a champion stand. When you think about that maybe you start to arch your back, for that lumbar curve. Head up straight and ready to face the world. Shoulders back full of love and ready to embrace. Already it comes to that and your feet planted firmly on the ground spaced so you are well balanced.

I would stamp my feet, clap my hands and jump up and down.

If you’re feeling down skip down the street. Very difficult to skip and maintain a bad mood. People will look at you odd if you are more than 9 years old. The fact that you defy social conventions helps propel you into greater state of inspiration.

The other day I was wrestling with a moral struggle. I said to my friend Shauna “It is important for us to have the struggles, maybe I should be grateful to have them because life would be boring without a struggle or a challenge. Its important to think about the real things, the real questions.

To confront those puzzles that really have gravity or consequence for us. What a wonderful opportunity to be able to force a moral struggle.

Everything is a source of inspiration. Everything is a source for the lightness and being, properly understood and seen with the right eyes. Managed with a balanced perspective. Perhaps just tilted in the favor of lightness of goodness of light. Yes, everything is inspiration.
