Inspire ourselves. That may be a tall order.
Not as tall as you believe.
Look all around you and within. Do you only feel inspired by the grandest of moments or the greatest of feats?
Think about what inspiration is. Feel what it is like to be inspired.
Energized, open, expanded, connected, joyous, peace … like I can do anything.
Because you can.
All of what you described is what life feels like infusing you.
When you shut yourself off then you experience what you believe to be normal.
Life is never not with you.
You only make yourself believe so.
Wouldn’t we get bored with feeling so alive all the time?
Oh how you make me smile.
You can have what you long to desire and when you can have it so close to your reach you push it away.
How could you ever be bored with life?
Because we think we’re bored now?
You haven’t even begun to know what life is.
But you can so easily.
Let yourself in instead of always pushing away.
Let yourself connect with others to share this experience of you – the all of you and everything.
You have lived a life afraid of what might happen. Now the time has come to let yourself see what can be.
Not out of fear for life but in love with life.
In love with yourself.
Hasn’t being in love with ourselves led us to where we are now and the problems we face?
That is not love nor life.
What you have been living is a belief of fear and not enough.
Guilty pleasures you might call them if you were brave enough.
Bring back to you a time of inspiration and connect deeply with how you felt.
Can you honestly tell me to be inspired with life is the same as what you normally seek for yourself?
Bring life to yourself and you to life.
You have wanted nothing else so why wait?

You showed me recently that I was pushing something away. And you asked: what are you afraid of? Until you asked the question, I did not even realize that I was keeping myself at arm’s length.
And then you helped me see that my fear was a result of a limited vision.
Thank you for asking that question.
