If you want to know, ask yourself; if you don’t know, ask others, and if others don’t know; ask God, read, research and reflect. Inspiration lies hidden, and only reveals itself only to those who seek it; but not many who seek it, find it. If it is inspiration that you seek, look everywhere; because they can be seen, even in unseen places. Inspiration has neither formal or informal way of revealing itself, it just happens; but only those that seek it shall see it. Sometimes, when inspiration sneaks itself into the sense of the inspired, those who aren’t inspired as well, tend to see the inspired as insane. Nonetheless, there is sanity in insanity, because what one sees as wise, another sees as foolish; but blame neither; because not all who are right, are in their right minds.

Seek to see; not only with your eyes, but also with your mind. Seek to hear; not only with your ears, but with your mind too. Some situations require sacrifice for success to surface; thus, if you don’t face it, either it fades or you fade. You need inspiration to do the things neither you nor others believe that you can do; because a doing is very different and desirable when it is highly inspired. One with inspiration can neither respire nor expire; because with inspiration, comes innovation. The aim is to stay ahead of the age, and not in line with it; thus, without inspiration, one stays behind the age. As long as development and growth are unending processes, people must be continually inspired either by themselves or by others; for that’s the essence of evolution. No inspiration, no progress; only problems. Hence, how does one solve a problem without inspiration? Only by the Grace of God. However, trials, troubles and traumas never stop to overwhelm a person; till you triumph, never stop trying till you die trying.

Consequently, the great question; how does one find inspiration? A great question indeed. Likewise, there is a greater question; how does one know when he/she is inspired? A greater question indeed. But here comes the greatest question there is; what do people do with inspiration? One after the other, these questions have been asked over the past centuries; they are still being asked contemporarily, and will still be asked in the future. No answer is ever sufficient, for none ever was, and none will ever be; because inspiration varies across personalities, groups and generations. What is inspiration to you may not be inspiration to another; how you felt it may not be how they felt it; how you use your own inspiration may not be applicable nor appropriate to others. But none of these matters; so far you know what you are doing, inspiration will take you far beyond your imagination, and never beneath their expectations. Only you know what is inspiration to you, only you know when you are inspired because you feel it alone, and only you know how best to use your inspiration; never let another tell you otherwise, unless they are words of wisdom. It is different with you, as it is different with others; for there are divergent instruments of inspiration. Instruments of inspiration? Rewind and reason, what could be the instruments of inspiration?

Think, think and think again; before you dive deeper. What do you know? What did you remember? Can you say what the instruments of inspiration are? Balance; breathe in, breathe out; inhale confidence and exhale doubt. Whatever you know and remember don’t matter, for what you know is different from what I know; never forget that we are different. The truth is, depending on how you feel it, instruments of inspiration are scattered everywhere for everyone; but only those who gather them use them. You can see them when you seek them, and they can seek you too; for they come and leave anytime and anywhere.

Instruments of inspiration are personal instructions that guides the way a person lives life. They are personal, because they are self-thoughts and innate intuitions meant for a particular person; whether they’re applied or not, they remain applicably personalized, for they are felt personally. While you sleep, they are there; they can come through dreams, through intuition, and they can sneak in while you are awake. But recognition is key in knowing when we are inspired; for if one doesn’t know when he/she is inspired, they cannot do anything with it, because none can use what they don’t know they have, even if they have it. The energies are there, but only a few are able to tap into it; the illuminated has the ability to see with the third eye. The eye of the mind is connected with the heart; with both instruments, man can achieve anything, even if he/she is blind, deaf, dumb or crippled. Thus, the instruments of inspiration are the mind and the heart; while the heart feels, the mind processes. Of course, you know that your mind is the same as your brain; but it is more ideal than real. If you can feel it, you can fix it; because inspiration is a message that you put into motion. If you don’t do anything about it when you feel it, it becomes nothing; and nothing can never make something.

Your imagination gives you wings, and you can fly anywhere with it; and no flame can burn you. Do you believe in yourself? do you believe in what you cannot see? Do you want to know what you don’t know? Life is a dream, but if you don’t remember what happened, then nothing happened; and you won’t know what will happen. Your mind constantly talks to you; passing you currents, ideas and messages. But if you don’t know how to tune in to the vibration, you cannot hear it, neither can you interpret it. In line with this knowledge, it is imperative for you to have time for yourself; by time for yourself, I mean time for self-reflection, meditation and self-therapy. Once in a while, it is wise to think about your life; reason your past, reflect on your present and imagine your future. There’s more fun to fun if there’s a fortune attached. Who were you? Who are you? Who do you want to be? Close your eyes, and look around you with your mind; listen with your heart and not your ears. Even if life is a dream, you ought to dream lucidly; because concentration gives you connections to the greatest imaginations.

Dearly Beloved, inspire yourself, and don’t depend only on other people and things for inspiration; for you are a god too, with the power to make and remake yourself. everyone is born with the instruments of inspiration; don’t ignore yourself, and ignite your dreams. You have them; but you have to know that you have them, then believe in them, before they can work for your worries. If you worry and don’t work, you will not be able to work on your worries; and they can wear you out with time. The secret lies with your soul; with them, you can attain self-development and self-control. All you need to tap into this power, is to believe in yourself, and you will achieve great things; never let your talents to be latent. Whatever that can be imagined, can be written, spoken and created. Thus, let your instruments of inspiration guide you, while you guard yourself; because success without self-control is stupidity.
