Chasing Inspiration

All we have to know is what we want and why we want it - explicitly.

How we get it and when we get it are up to the universe. But if we don't pay attention, we'll miss it.

Inspiration is a whisper from the universe, the divine consciousness, source energy, God... I don't care what you want to call it.

What matters is that we get clear and shut our minds up for a moment so we can recognize the signs when they're laid before us. Then, when it arrives, seize the moment and take inspired action.

Over the past year, I've spent a lot of energy trying to break down the barriers I've built up around myself. I do too much and being busy distracts me from these moments of inspiration. Or even when inspiration strikes, I "don't have time" for it - and what I really mean here is that I don't MAKE time for it!

I'm too stressed that I won't have time to do this or that. But I'm realizing those things don't actually matter in the grand scheme of things. Those moments of inspiration are truly the only things that matter. Because all of the tasks I normally do haven't gotten me to my goal. I've told myself a lie that they have to get done in order for me to achieve it. But if that were the case, I would have already achieved my goal by doing those things.

I spend all this time focusing explicitly on what I want and visualizing it in my mind. Out of that exercise spills an abundance of inspiration. I write it down in my journal, make a to-do list, and then neglect it for a calendar that's already packed.

Even today, I wrote down the one thing that was most important for me to do today, then didn't do it! I convinced myself that in order to do that I first needed to do something else and before I knew it, the day was gone.

I looked back at the monthly goals I've set for myself and I've failed to achieve them month over month for several months now. I've convinced myself that I need to be better at setting goals or that my goals change along the way. But when I look back it's the same fucking goals every time. I mean, how much clearer can I get?!

I've said this for a long time, nothing can hold me back - except myself. And here I am, standing in my own way, firm, unbudging. I am both an unstoppable force and an immovable object. I need to muster the strength to pick myself up and get out of the way.

I know exactly how to draw inspiration, I've got tons of it. I am only now getting better at taking action on it. Nothing else matters.

The ONLY action I need to take is that which comes from moments of inspiration.

I can get to the rest after that. Whatever gets done gets done. Just so long as those acts of inspiration are done first, not last.

I'm getting better this week. I've made a promise to myself that these monthly goals will get done no matter what. I've seen myself take inspired action, just not all of it. I am learning to let go of all the rest - fighting back against my OCD and urge to do all the things simply because they're there.

All I need to do is keep chasing that inspiration. Make it my top priority and let everything else fall in place. I can do this. I am doing it. It is done <3
