Inspiration... perspiration... why have we associated one with the other? Does it mean that we have to work up a sweat to become inspired? I don't think so. So where did we get that idea? I don't really know. So let us think of it of it in another way. Have you ever noticed that when we become excited about something we become energized? And when we become energized, we might have noticed that we seem to feel warmer. Now I hold a theory about that and it may not be logical, but it does seem to work for me. When we become excited or inspired about something, a light seems to go on... shall we call it enlightenment?... why not. These are the times when we are the most free flowing and our body circulates its energy more freely. It is at these times that we are going with the flow. Everything seems to be going right... our life seems to be fuller and our surroundings seem to be brighter. Strange thing though... upon a closer look at these observations, we might discover that nothing outside of ourselves has really changed... what has changed and what we seem notice the least is that we have changed how we perceive our surroundings and ourselves. There is one more thing... we have the key to our on and off switch for these happenings. So do you want to know where the key is? It is right inside of ourselves. The key is choice. We can choose to be energized and if we choose this state of being, the mind believes it and causes us to feel better and act more energized. What we have done is empowered our thought process with our belief and faith. Now that is what I call real magic. I bet you didnâ��t know that you had this kind of magic, did you? How divine. How simply divine. Our thought for the day is: 'Rain is the to the earth as tears are to the soul. It washes all the old stuff away so that we can have a brand new day.'
