Do you ever find yourself waiting to become inspired to do the work you know you need to do? Maybe you are waiting around to start on a dream project or maybe it’s as simple as getting a household task done.
Here’s what I’ve discovered – inspiration rarely comes until you get up and take action. Just as we sometimes need to act our way into our feelings, we also need to act our way into inspiration. Recently we were adding some plants to our landscaping. After installing the plants, I needed to mulch our flower beds. I wasn’t very inspired to do it, but once I ordered the mulch to be delivered and a heaping mountain of it showed up on our driveway I had to get to work. On top of that, I had a small window of time to get it done on a busy Saturday. Did I feel inspired? No! But when I took action, momentum kicked in and I accomplished more work than I have in a long time. It was hot, sweaty, dirty work, but at the end I was proud of what I accomplished and finally felt inspired.
What is it that you need to get moving on? Make a decision right now that you are going to tackle it. Start taking action and let momentum build. That’s when inspiration will finally come.
Be Intentionally Great today!
