I was having a conversation via email with a friend the other day. She had forwarded something rather inspiring. For those of you who don’t know me personally, you may not know that my mind has a habit of rearranging things and making associations that are, well, at best unique, and occasionally absurd.
That particular day, inspire led my mind to transpire….and perspire. (Gross, especially since girls don’t sweat, we sparkle.) So, since that day, these three words have been replaying in my mind: inspire, transpire, and perspire.
I tried in fleeting moments of quiet and thought to make the association. No such luck. Until I noticed a quote that the absolutely lovely Andrea Maurer shared this.....
"We should be taught not to wait for inspiration to start a thing. Action always generates inspiration. Inspiration seldom generates action." - Frank Tibolt
There was my light bulb! When you want change to transpire, be prepared to perspire (or sparkle for us girls) a little first. Then, and only then, will you be inspired.
Stop planning it. Start doing it....let the world see your "sparkle."
Very nice. I think you are definitely starting to work up a sweat... I mean sparkle.
