Inspiration is everywhere: live to be inspired

Inspiration is the beginning of pure happiness. To be open to inspiration makes you excited to dream up more ideas. Thanks to Annetta Bosakova, I am committed to be inspired in everything that I do. When I look at an image, read an article or blog entry, I ask myself “am I being inspired?” If not, then I know I’m wasting my time. I must be inspired.

People are always finding inspiration in something. Whether a celebrity inspires you to try out a new hairstyle or an author inspired you to research topics found in their book; there are countless ways to be inspired. Inspiration keeps your mind active and keeps your eyes wide open with amazement.

It’s our spirit inside of us that detects inspiration. And it’s our spirit that is so close to God that we feel His spirit tug at ours to see inspiration; to see the beauty in things and to notice something that our plain eyes can’t see.

I love what the Bible says about inspiration: “Those who live at the ends of the earth stand in awe of your wonders. From where the sun rises to where it sets, you inspire shouts of joy,” Psalms 65:8. When you look at the sunrise or sunset, you’re taking in God’s work. You can’t look at the sunrise angry, because it’s colorful and beautiful!  

An artist steps back from their artwork and admires it; and it’s left to inspire others.

Then God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was very good!

 — Genesis 1:31.
