Inspiration is available to us when we look for it. I have noticed that spiritual people are more interested in an “energy” or “vigor” boost than those outside of this category. I am always looking in all directions for inspiration, something that makes me want to live life more fully and more completely. I am not always willing to experience things, and that is one quality that I do not admire in myself. But, when I see someone succeed and accomplish his goals in the face all of those barriers, I smile and feel relief come over me and I think, “if he could do it, so can I.” But what if it were the other way around?
