Is inspiration brought on by an external creative force or is it something that sparks inside us?
Each day when I awake in the morning, I lie still in silence. Not only because I'm too lazy to get out of bed and start my day. Not only because I'm still sleepy. Not because it is too cold outside of my covers and I would rather stay in a place that is warm and comfortable. We all sometimes prolong our mornings for those reasons but I try to find a much higher reason to start my day. I lie in silence and try to create what my day would be like. I wait until my mind reveals to me what I need to do that day and I imagine the task completed. I try to imagine what I need to do that day being completed. I focus on the feeling I get after finishing the task. Once I get a feeling that inspires me, I jump out of bed with excitement. I love starting my day like this. Rather than going through the day taking things as they come, I create what my day would be like and I would get inspiration to make it happen.
Inspiration has kept me awake late until the early morning and has filled me with energy when I wake up. Inspiration has kept ideas flow through my mind and manifest in flawless words through my mouth. When inspired I can remember talking freely without a break in thought. Inspiration has given me ideas to write for hours. It has given me solutions to software development problems. I have written hundreds of lines of code and thousands of words when I'm inspired. I have solved mechanical problems with my car and my home without completely understanding the system. I have developed a collection of my own software and written pages of ideas and thoughts and painted dozens of pictures on my walls. Inspiration has caused me to continue creating all throughout my entire life. Inspiration is not only granted to artist, writers, programmers and creative types. Inspiration can cause someone to start a charity event. Inspiration can cause people to have a party in their home. Inspiration causes people to create, whether it is something tangible or it is some kind of concept or idea.
The question is that, is inspiration brought to us from some creative force outside of ourselves? Or is it the individual’s skills that brought on this ability? I have read some where that Einstein believed that his ideas just came to him. Dr. Wayne Dyer, an inspirational author has broken down the word "inspire" into two words "in spirit". He meant that it is like a spirit that comes through us when we are inspired. If we do decide to believe that inspiration comes to us from somewhere in the universe, then does that provide us with possible evidence to the existence of God? Maybe? After all God is the father of creation.
