The ability to perform the readiness of doing what needs to be done when it needs to be done is a rare trait. Too many copycats are busy performing what they see others doing. They are much like the child who tells the barber he wants his hair cut just like his daddy’s cut, including the round bald patch at the top of his head.
We prefer our clothes to look a lot like theirs. We prefer to work in similar places. We prefer to do our job much like everyone else does theirs. There are not great differences in all of this. We just have a tough time admitting it.
Unless we face some desperation, we initiate very little in our lives. It almost seems like initiation is pointless. Who cares, anyway? We do not become inspired to start something completely new until we discover frantic reasons for doing so. If this is true, in order to initiate a lot of stuff…we must need to live more frantically.
Being desperate all of the time can wear a person down. Maybe we should learn to transmute desperation into creative living. Inspiration must be a cousin to desperation. One seems to be born of the other. It might be kind of fun learning to live excited for what we can initiate without too much frantic behavior.
Convert your sudden thoughts into action. Stir the mind, stir the feelings, and stir the imagination.
The best part of breathing is when you breathe life into a new idea. The lungs of creation will swell.
It is of no consequence of doing what you are supposed to do, but to do well in finding better things to do is the mark of merit. Find the frantic edge.
