Extraordinarily Inspired

Caroline Myss is a spiritual teacher who says that there is no such thing as an ordinary moment.  If you're having it, it matters.  The Dalai Lama says that he has never met an ordinary person.  This is what inspires me: finding the awe in every day moments.  The more present you are, the more open and aware you are to inspiration.  A simple perspective would be that motivation comes from outside of you and inspiration comes from inside of you.  Its source may be external but it resonates internally.  When writing, I can recognize inspiration because my inner voice is doing the work rather than my mind.  The flow of ideas is also differentiated by more right-brain engagement.  For me, writer's block is more likely to appear when I'm trying to fit round words into a square format.
