Inspired?

Have you ever felt so inspired that you thought you could achieve anything? That no obstacle was big enough, no distance far enough and no task impossible? It was as if a super-being had taken over you. A feeling of higher consciousness. You could see a pattern to everything that was happening around you. And you felt as if you had the power to manipulate circumstances, create situations and convince strangers to walk your path, just so that you reached your goal.

You work with such focus and passion that the thought of failure never crosses your mind. You can't see the end but you know that the dark road ahead will light up just in time for you to walk past without the minutest hitch. Your positive attitude helps you take things in stride. Your confidence is at its peak and yet safely below the level of over-confidence.

What if this source of inspiration is so strong, so cosmic that it engulfs your life? It inspires you to live. Makes you want to be a better person. Pumps in so much faith in you that you want to prove yourself. Inspires you to appreciate what you have and open your eyes to what you need. Helps you differentiate between what you want and what you need because there are times when you want what you don't need and you can never have enough of that.

And such inspirations come unannounced. You cannot brainwash yourself to be inspired. It could be an idea you got during one of your early morning dreams, or the thought of insignificance while looking up at the sky on a moonless night. It could be a near death experience or a child birth. It could strike you one winter morning while you sip coffee staring into nothingness. It could be your inner conscience, a beautiful poem or a piece of music. Or it could simply be... a person.
