Inspiration – Find it and Use it To Take Action Now

It is impossible to take action now and get things done if you do not have the right inspiration. Take time today to find what inspires you to get up and go and use it to get things done.

It is impossible to take action now and get things done if you do not have the right inspiration. Take time today to find what inspires you to get up and go and use it to get things done.

Inspiration can be the push you need to get things done.

Each day there are literally hundreds of things you must do. Often, it seems that dozens of those things need to be done all at the same time and that time is now, right now. The reality of life is that you cannot do everything at the same time. In fact, you may not even want to do all the things that you need to take action now to do. When you know you must take action now to get things done but don’t want to or are afraid or feel inadequate, you must find what inspires you to take action now and use it to push you forward to act.

Inspiration is a tricky thing. On the surface, it is merely being mentally stimulated to do something. It seems to be a simple enough idea. However, it is not a simple thing. Inspiration is fleeting, situational and sensitive. Some days, we are inspired by hunger. Other days we are inspired by the desire for profit. On other days, we are inspired by a desire for giving to others. Inspiration is fleeting and we cannot always predict what will push us forward from one day to the next.

If you often find yourself having a problem finding a way to take action now and get things done, start by creating a list. Create a list of all the things that inspire you. Save that list on a piece of paper and in electronic form so that when you need to take action now and get things done but are unable, you can look at that list. Looking at the list will enable you to find something that pushes you forward. Here is a list I made recently of the things that inspire me to take action now:

  • desire to succeed
  • need to earn money to care for my family
  • competitive drive
  • lack of energy
  • creative curiosity
  • hunger
  • need to help others
  • search for joy
  • to keep my word

This is only a small representation of the things that inspire me to take action now and get things done. Like most people, the list is long and changes from one day to the next and sometimes from one moment to the next.
