Do you need inspiration today?

Question

I wrote a song...a love song...does this inspire you?:

"Time Stands Still"

There are times when the
world stops spinning

And my feet no longer
touch the ground

Tell me all the dreams
you would share

If everyone you passed
on the street cared

Tell me all the things
you would say

If everyone you met
had ears to hear

Show me all the things
you call beauty

The things you'd share
if everyone could 'see'

Tell me ....what, makes you, you?

Answer 1

This more than inspires me....it touches me....it makes me feel joy....it brings a smile to my face...starts me pondering...it's simply
beautiful!

Your words, and the intention behind them has a sweet, transforming power...your words reveal your soul, so beautiful n bright.

This inspiration...this incredible beauty...this connective love(divine) that is brought out in me from your words(like the perfect mirror you are---always reflecting back to me a love of the same vibration, from a shared essence, not two, but one source)... these are the things I'm inspired to share...for everyone to see...♥

Thank you very much, my friend:))

Answer 2

"Time Stands Still"
Imagine the possibilities of life without time restraints.
I have pondered the concept of the human condition
without a busy life, and when I state busy I mean
too busy with things which people are not content
with doing. If everyone wasn't in such a rush would
humanity be better off. The counter thought is "idle
hands are the devil's playthings". However, this counter
assumes the world as it is, with time restraints and
interdependence on the production line. What if
the production line could be fully automated.
What would people do with their time if everyone
was fully self-sufficient. Would humanity deteriorate
due to the lack of mutual need; would everyone
become hermits. Or, would the human relationship
be more authentic because the only motive would
be absolute unselfish want to share time and experiences
with each other. Essentially, would there be want to
congregate if survival instinct didn't see the benefit
of congregation. I wonder if any purpose can be
found which can't be derived to a convenience for
survival. Of course, I want to state that there is more
to life than survival, but I am a biased observer of
my own survival rationale and convenient association
can be subtle. At any rate, non-existence of time presents
a contemplative postulate.

Answer 3

I am already inspired.

Here is what inspires me when i am in a jam.

This is an excerpt from a Joseph Campbell book:

"The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are."

What you have to do,
you do with play.

Life is without meaning.
You bring the meaning to it.

The meaning of life is
whatever you ascribe it to be.

Being alive is the meaning.

The warrior's approach
is to say "yes" to life:
"yea" to it all.

Participate joyfully
in the sorrows of the world.

We can not cure the world of sorrows,
but we can choose to live in joy.

When we talk about
settling the world's problems,
we're barking up the wrong tree.

The world is perfect. It's a mess.
It has always been a mess.

We are not going to change it.

Our job is to straighten out
our own lives.

We must be willing to get rid of
the life we've planned, so as to have
the life that is waiting for us.

The old skin has to be shed
before the new one can come.

If we fix on the old, we get stuck.
When we hang onto any form,
we are in danger of putrefaction.

Hell is life drying up.

The Hoarder,
the one in us that wants to keep,
to hold on, must be killed.

If we are hanging onto the form now,
we're not going to have the form next.

You can't make an omelet
without breaking eggs.

Destruction before creation.

Out of perfection
nothing can be made.

Every process involves
breaking something up.

The earth must be broken
to bring forth life.
If the seed does not die,
there is no plant.

Bread results
from the death of wheat.

Life lives on lives.

Our own life
lives on the acts
of other people.

If you are lifeworthy,
you can take it.

What we are really living for
is the experience of life,
both the pain and the pleasure.

The world is a match for us.
we are match for the world

Oppurtunities
to find deeper powers
within ourselves
come when life
seems most challenging.

Negativism
to the pain and ferocity of life
is negativism to life.

We are not there
until we can say
"yea" to all.

to take a righteous attitude
toward anything is to denigrate it.

Awe is what moves us forward.

As you proceed through life,
following your own path,
birds will **** on you.
Don't bother to brush it off.

Getting a comedic view of your situtation
gives you spiritual distance.
Having sense of humor saves you.

Eternity is a dimension
of here and now.

The divine lives within you.

Live from your own center.

Your real duty
is to go away from the community
to find your bliss.

The society is the enemy
when it imposes its structures
on the individual.

On the dragon there are many scales.
everyone of them says"Thou Shalt."

Kill the dragon "Thou Shalt."

When one one has killed that dragon,
one has become The Child.

Breaking out
is following your bliss pattern,
quitting the old place,
starting your hero journey,
following your bliss.

You throw off yesterday
as the snake sheds its skin.

Follow your bliss.

The heroic life is living the individual
adventure.

There is no security
in following the call to adventure.

Nothing is exciting
if you know
what the outcome is going to be.

To refuse the call
means stagnation.

What you don't experience positively
you will experience negatively.

You enter the forest
at the darkest point.,
where there is no path.

Where there is a way or path,
it is someone else's path.

You are not on your own path.

If you follow someone else's way.
you are not going to realize
your potential.

The goal of the hero trip
down to the jewel point.
is to find those levels in the psyche
that open, open, open
and finally open to the mystery
of your Self being
Buddha consciousness
or the Christ.

It is all about finding
that still point in your mind
where commitment drops away.

It is going down into the abyss
that we recover the treasures of life.

Where you stumble,
there lies your treasure.

The very cave you are afraid to enter
turns out to be the source of
what you are looking for.
The damned thing in the cave
that was so dreaded
has become the center.

You find the jewel,
and it draws you off.

In loving the spiritual,
you cannot despise the earthly.

The purpose of the journey
is compassion.

When you have come past
the pairs of opposites,
you have reached compassion.

The goal is to bring the jewel
back to the world,
to join the two things together.

The seperateness
apparent in the world
is secondary.

Beyond the world of opposites
is an unseen, but experienced,
unity and identity in us all.

Today, the planet is
the only proper "in group."

You must return
with the bliss
and integrate it.

The return is seeing
the radiance everywhere.

Sri Ramakrishna said:
"Do not seek illumination
unless you seek it
as a man whose hair is on fire
seeks a pond."

If you want the whole thing,
the gods will give it to you.
But you must be ready for it.

The goal is to live
with godlike composure
on the full rush of energy,
like Dionysus riding the leopard,
without being torn to pieces.

A bit of advice
given to a young Native American
at the time of his initiation:

"As you go the way of life,
you will see a great chasm.

Jump.

It is not as wide as you think."

Answer 4

A touched a dream and felt the sun's warmth embrace me and traveled to places its impossible to go and ate with kings and cried with friends and prayed for foes and realized I've always been in Utopia and inspiration accompannied me everywhere I went. Sadness and despair waited to enter into the city but hope would wrestle and would in time lock them out again and again. I am inspired to love.

Answer 7

inspiration is like an oxygen to your goals,to ur vendetta...u can take inspiration from each n evry thing...whether big or small...even an ant can inspire u for discipline and hard work...but u jst need to have an eye for it...

all those who claim that they need no inspiration...trust me..they fake it...eidr they dont wanna acknowledge it or they themselves are unaware of the fact that they are getting inspired...

inspiration propels u to bring in the best of u...encourages u through dark periods and takes u to ur dreams and ur goals...great leaders,revolutionariesand philosophers have been inspired and have been a source of inspiration world wide...

n moreso in todays world...when u have so much of cut-throat comptetion...u need to get inspired when u feel low...u need to get inspired for ur new ideas...ur innovative actions...

Answer 8

Not any more. I saw the sunrise and realized I was still alive and doing fine. Enough inspiration for me.

Answer 9

"Dum Spiro, Spero". While I breathe, I hope. I need inspiration every moment of every day, and your beautiful poem helps give that. It puts me in touch with every part of my being, each sense, thought, and feeling.

Thank you.
