Ok, I know it's been almost two months that I published a post last. I already mentioned in my first post that I am not so good at keeping diaries and things like that but here I am again. I didn't just decide to write today, nope. I was reminded that I had a blog by reading another guy's blog. It was good and so I got inspired.
Speaking of inspiration, where do you get yours from? I watched a movie yesterday titled 'Invictus'. The major character in that movie, who was imprisoned for 27 years before his release and subsequent election as president, mentioned that whenever he felt like giving up in the prison, he drew inspiration and encouragement from the poem written by William Henly in 1875 titled Invictus. I'm sure we all draw inspiration from different sources. I'll be glad if you could share yours with me in the comment section.
I can not deny the fact that I am a believer and without sounding cliche, my number one source of inspiration is the Holy Spirit. Many a time when I really need a bright idea, He drops it in my mind either through a verse of the scripture, something I have read, heard or watched. It's amazing.
When I was in Uni , I used to take walks to quiet places around the campus and engage in deep thoughts to crack something. It worked! It worked almost all the time. Come to think of it, I haven't done that in a while. I should return to it but that does not mean I have not been inspired lately. These days I just lie on my bed and think prayerfully or think on paper especially for designs for my craft. Some other times, I get inspired from the smallest things like staring at the sky, looking at drawings (I like art) or pictures, staring at a crowd, in a lecture and especially while listening to people. Something about them just drops an idea in my mind. It's beautiful!
Of all these sources, my best is the holy spirit and of course he can do the same for you if only you would invite Jesus into your heart. If you already have, that's the greatest decision you ever made and you sure will understand what I'm talking about.
The most beautiful thing about inspiration is its application. Whenever one sees the result of what one used the inspiration for, it brings great joy - talking from experience. As a final note, don't just get inspired, inspire others!
Alright then, till I get inspired to write again :)
Golding me.
