The world has endless possibilities & creativity is boundless, and yet somehow I'm desperately searching for just a piece of motivation to re-ignite my soul.
Feeling disconnected is a part of life, I think, or at least that's what I've been telling myself.
If you're reading this and you feel the same, know that you are not alone.
In my most transparent expression, I'll delve into the depths of my un-inspiration and hopefully discover a path to rekindling my fire with renewed purpose, so that you can take the steps to do the same.
Uncertain & Un-Inspired:
Lately, I've found myself completely uninspired to create or take even the smallest of steps towards my goals. There's a fog over my mind and it's clouding my ability to see the beauty and potential that surrounds me.
The simplest tasks feel like it's too much, and the steps I used to take towards my goals feel like, "What's the point!? Nothings been working."
For years, I've been assiduously taking action on a plan that involves my Music Career, Entrepreneurship, my Finances, my Growth as a Person, and overall what I believed to be my Purpose. Yet, now, I'm not so sure about any of it anymore.
I search through books, social media, mentors, podcasts, music, sitting out in nature, etc hoping to spark my soul once more.
Maybe my inspiration lies in an unexpected place. A place I've never visited before. Maybe this place has been waiting for me, and I was meant to feel this space of non-inspiration in order to reach this untapped space.
Y'all... I don't know. This sounds good, so I'm running with it. If I have to hang on to hope, then I will keep hanging on for dear life.
I truly believe I have a great purpose and meaningful work to do in this lifetime. I just have to keep the faith through these uninspiring times.
Pursuit of Inspiration:
Finding inspiration takes effort. It's like you're on a journey of the mind and heart. I believe I have the remedy, although I admit it's been a struggle for me to abide by it. If "easier said than done" was a person, I'm her.
Here's the remedy, quick, simple, and to the point:
People will tell you through consistency and discipline is where inspiration lies, and though I do believe these are powerful traits on our journey, I think they lead to burnout if you persist with no real idea of where you want to be or inspiration to get there.
So focus on getting your inspiration back.
Embracing the Journey:
What I want for you all to take from this is that inspiration is not a destination, it's an ongoing journey. There will be days when the fire burns powerfully, and others when it flickers or just completely goes out.
However, it is through these times that we learn, grow, and evolve as individuals.
So here's a reminder to embrace the process and embrace the uncertainty. Continue through life the best you can with your head held high, and find some happiness along the way. Trust that your muse will return when the time is right.
I hope this helps you as I try to help myself.
Peace.
Morgan
