Inspiration!

The last blog that I had was supposed to discuss the idea of inspiration. Getting it (from somewhere/someone/something), basically taking the advantage out of its purest form in each and every situation one may encounter and, finally, processing it into something useful for the future. I'd given it a lot of thought before I finally decided to start writing the blog, but I never suspected that it might prove to be so hard. Do you know why? Because I think I do.

Inspiration always presents itself differently, depending on the person who's experiencing it.

That's only my opinion. I do not intend to frown upon all of the websites which write articles about how inspirational people work, how beautiful the world around us is and how much happiness we should derive from it as we move on from holding tightly to the formerly acquired by us: fears, regrets and resentment. I tend to think about all of the above as a massive and rather perfidious phenomenon of generalisation, despite the websites themselves occasionally getting pretty interesting too. To be completely honest though, I feel as if what I've written so far may prove to work very well as the websites' precise summary.

People have always strove to find inspiration and fought against any possible forms of destroying it by giving in to living their everyday lives that do not necessarily fall into the category: things filled with excitement, love, compassion.

However because it sometimes gets hard not to resist the temptation to live such a life, people from imsoinspirationallookatmemove.com have come up with one more thing: enjoy the smallest things in life. Look at the trees, the bees, the whales, the snails and experience the deepest form of joy of the world! As amazing as it sounds though, I sometimes wonder... isn't that lowering standards?

Since we're so keen on succumbing to the mundanities of everyday life, how can anyone expect us to be eager enough to follow our ambitions, accomplish goals when being perfectly happy and satisfied with life's simple pleasures?

Taking it to the other extreme though, I'm sure we would not be able to reach any possible state of happiness when feeling unsatisfied all the time.

Is that a choice between ambition and happiness then?

I really hope it's not.

We'll see how it goes.
