Meditations on God

Don’t be so inspired that you do nothing.

Inspiration can be intoxicating.

It is uplifting and emotionally satisfying.

But the purpose of inspiration is not simply to make you feel good.

The purpose of inspiration is to motivate you to action.

This causes tension, however, because if you act, you might fail, and so you settle for just being inspired.

Don’t be the type of person on whom inspiration is wasted.
