112: Enjoy the trip without focusing on the destination.
from The Daily Shot of Catspiration · host Cat Storing
Good morning! How do you feel today? I hope you're having an amazing day because I sure am! Last night, after grappling with a question and feeling stuck, I reached out for help and started writing. However, the words just weren't flowing and I could sense that it wasn't quite right. So, I decided to give myself a break, put down my journal and laptop and rest early. This morning, as I was meditating and brewing my green tea, inspiration struck. It felt so good, so good in my being, that I couldn't help but become energized in my excitement. I realized that pushing too hard for an answer, obsessing over the outcome, can hinder creativity. I remembered a talented jeweler I once hired who took her time to create beautiful pieces. Initially frustrated by the delay, I realized that rushing the process stifles the magic. Like her, we must embrace ideas with enthusiasm. So, here's a gentle reminder to embrace the creative flow, delight in the journey, and revel in the joy of anticipation. Let inspiration come to you naturally and you will witness the wonderful development into its own perfection.
