 |  Where does your inspiration come from?
How are you inspired to pursue certain goals? Does the inspiration come only from YOU, internal to external flow, or does the inspiriation come from an external source, external to internal to external flow? you --> world or spirit/external force --> you --> world == Do you ever feel like you are pulled towards certain things, guided by an external force or an internal program, rather than just pushing yourself to those things? |

Good question. Why do we want the stuff we want? I definitely feel compelled to pursue somethings and not others. For the longest time I tried to make money doing all sorts of things, but the only decent money I've ever made was from the things that are a passion to me. Another question. Where do the answers really come from? I set a goal in the physical world, where do the solutions that present themsleves or that pop into my head come from? Kooky Jeff |

I was recently 'tagged' by Slade from 'Shift your Spirits' with the theme of 'Why do I Blog?' In writing the resulting article I revealed a lot about myself - to myself. If you'd like to read the article follow the link in my sig but then follow the links on my Blog to 'Shift your Spirits', 'DruidJournal.net' and 'AdamsPeace' as they were all prior recipients of the same 'tag'. The way each of them answered the same short question was incredibly revealing and displays a whole myriad sources of inspiration that you may feel a connection with. I'd also reccomend 'Sania wyatt's' Blog (also a link on my Blog) as her story 'my only prayer' and the 'about section on her Blog are totally from the heart and essential reading if you want your question answering. I guess the simple answer (summarising the above articles into single words) is - Belief, Pain, Struggle, Hope and Truth. But in saying that I'd also like to include all the people I've mentioned above as my inspiration  Take care.

|  For me it's internal and external. My motivation internally is to be at peace within me. As well as, achieving purpose within myself. Externally, to make a differene on this earth. To help others achieve inner peace. As well as financial freedom to be of more value to self and this world. To me motivation is not one dimensional. It comes from so many directions, such as a child vow, for a someone you care for, a dream, or a passion. It comes from you then you have to take action. Great topic! Won't Be Denied! C.F.
