PRAISE FOR INSPIRATION

I was convinced that I had already written a praise on inspiration and I was only surprised to discover that it was not part of my praises already written.
So I'm off to work.

We all know MUSE, there were nine of them. The tenth one is the one of inspiration. And it is this famous goddess who inspires us. Imagine a writer or a poet lacking imagination. Can he finish his text if Muse does not come to his rescue?

In the same way that inspiration is that phase of breathing during which air enters the lungs, it is also this state of illumination, of an idea coming suddenly to the mind and which makes one act. We have here a creative impulse. By extension, it is a divine influence or action on a person that qualifies him to receive and communicate a sacred revelation. It is enough.
I would simply like to say that inspiration is a shooting star that causes the artist to explode with creativity, and the artist who finds inspiration has the impression of having won the jackpot with each of his creations.

The artist, in general, starts with his overflowing imagination and inspiration gives shape to his disordered ideas. It is a fact that thought contains many things and some come from inspiration. I have a problem: what to choose between beauty and inspiration?

It has always been the true love of poets. Curiously, pain sometimes becomes a good source of inspiration. This one runs away after having raised the most beautiful ideas of the artist. However, when it comes to our actions, this is what John Quincy Adams suggests: « If your actions inspire others to dream more, to take more, to do more, to become more, you are in leadership. »

A certain André Brochu had something very nice to say: ''There is no point in running after inspiration, it comes to those who know how to warm it up. Louis Pasteur had an even more brilliant saying: « The greatness of human actions is measured by the inspiration that gives them birth. »

I have heard that there are many women who have been both the love and the inspiration of famous artists. I will mention only one: Picasso. Indeed, love should be an inexhaustible source of inspiration.

And here's another thing I read that made an impression on me: inspiration is not an idea, it is not this ability to do things, but rather it is everything that surrounds us, our environment, all the people that exist, good or bad. Inspiration exists, it is in life, in nature. You just have to look for it. I think Madonna agrees with me in saying almost the same thing.

In The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, Deepak Chopra tells us that inspiration is a wonderful gift we can give ourselves every day. To feed our spirit, to remind us of the power of life flowing through us, to be inspired to manage our power with greater awareness.

My hope is that these few words will inspire the reader to do right now what they have been putting off for weeks. Everything depends on us and nobody else, so it's up to us to act. By the way, if you want to have inspiring ideas, all you have to do is surround yourself with inspiring people, which is what Linda and Jeff Church recommend in their book The Thirst for Change.

In conclusion, I will say that you can't wait for inspiration to come, you have to chase it. I believe it was Jack London who said this word. He even added to run after it with a club.
I read somewhere that inspiration is like water, when it flows you have to drink it.
If inspiration runs out, it's better to keep quiet. By way of advice, I would say that music promotes inspiration.
