I have found that I am greatly inspired when I am acutely aware of my inner thoughts that are found within the center core of my whole being. It is coming to terms with who I really am and embracing "ME" for that one single event proves to be the catalyst that will usher in the desires and dreams to be auditioned in the atmosphere and stage of reality called... Life. I have discovered that the audacity to be authentic to one-self will impact their entire world.

We live in a world that forever tells us to deny who we are and we are encouraged in life to wear a mask. It has become acceptable to practice hypocrisy in our world and integrity to dare be who you were created from conception is greatly discouraged. However, time and time again life continues to demonstrate that it is within our uniqueness that dwells our greatest potential and we were never meant to be a carbon copy of someone else. And the sooner one recognize this profound truth... their lives will be greatly inspired with the seeds of desires that is buried within their human soul that can only be unearthed by them and them alone. The nerve to be comfortable in one's own skin. To be willing to embrace all that is right with oneself while combining the ability to own one's own "stench" in the process.

I am greatly inspired when I am content with the wrestling of my soul that I must continue to arrest and put under submission to a greater reality. These two terms "content" and "wrestling" at first glance seems to be diabolically opposed to each other and yet in this world they are forever connected. I am inspired when I look at life as an adventure that my Creator has allowed me to participate in and recognize that there is a purpose of my occupancy of this planet that extends beyond the superficial goals and objectives of simply seeking self gratification. When I rise above the beggarly elements of my existence and emerge wiser for having gone through difficult times, it is then that I tap into a well that exist deep down inside me that will inspire hope in hopeless situation. Inspiration is a seed that God has implanted within each living soul that will blossom if cultivated and nurtured.
