Inspiration: The Engine of Joy


Listen Later

The element for this episode is inspiration. It’s the magic of being awakened to new possibilities or feeling deeply passionate that you want to do something out of that passion. We all know inspiration can strike when we least expect it to, but perhaps there is a depth to its transcendence and interconnectedness within us that we can learn to tap into. Tune in as we talk about the five qualities of inspiration, how to avoid common pitfalls, and key ways to increase your likelihood of experiencing inspiration.

 

Key Takeaways:

 

  • The more inspiration you have, the more internal drive and purpose you have to be motivated in everyday work.
  • One of the pitfalls with inspiration is when you only rely on others to get it; that’s just not a reliable source. It is transcendent in how it comes to us, either from within us or from beyond us.
  • You can increase your likelihood of being inspired by being open to new experiences, practicing positive emotions, and through preparation.
