Inspiration

by Rachel Heit

The funny thing about inspiration is that it strikes whenever the hell it wants. As a 20-something, you hope to the dear lord above it strikes soon and as often as possible.

  No, that doesn’t make sense, as often as possible?

But most know this sentiment.

  Talk about cross roads. This time in your life is the epitome of that. You may have had a job right out of college that no longer fits you, or you’re still working on what your calling is in this wide world. Did I mention it was wide? Like massive. There are so many nooks around this huge sphere it’s a wonder anyone finds not only a job they love but someone who they consider their other half. And yet it happens.

But, I digress.

  Inspiration. 

It may have more sources than an English research paper. You can be walking down the street and notice how the sun seeps through the petals of an early spring flower. The perfect light pink hue, lit from the back by warmth. Or you’re sitting in a kitchen talking with those you love and all of a sudden you know. The thing about inspiration, no matter how or where you find it, is you have to act on it.

It’s given/discovered/earned for us to do something with. And when you’re a 20-something, you best not let it go.

That’s what keeps us going; that possibility of something more, of something different. That in this crazyass world there’s actually a place we fit perfectly. That there’s an opportunity to show others in a personal and professional sense that we’re the shit. And because we’ve been hit by that lightning bolt, or ray of sunshine, we take risks that may or may not pan out.

  But that’s the beauty of inspiration.

  It tells you to follow your heart. And very rarely, if you listen closely, is it wrong.
