Treasure chest hidden at the depth of your soul
INSPIRATION! That is the treasure chest hidden at the very depth of your soul. Unaware of it’s existence we spend our life looking for it at every other place except inside our very self.
It is strange when we say that we are inspired by a movie, book, poem or deed; like inspiration was some kind of a foreign feeling that we derived from these objects or deeds. It is more likely that we forgot what resided in our own self and these things just reminded us of what we had forgotten. Cowards don’t become heroes because they read a book or faced something that inspired them, it is the brave that become heroes because the same things remind them of what they have forgotten, bravery. It is like ‘if he can do it then so can I’, that feeling of self confidence that rises like a Phoenix from it’s ashes. So when we search for inspiration we don’t search for something that we don’t have, we search from something that would remind us of what he already have and bring it to the surface like a catalyt does in a chemical reaction.
People find these catalyst in many things. I find them mostly in movies and sometimes in books. The journey of Duny who was later named Ged and became known as Sparrow Hawk in A Wizard of Earthsea inspires me more than any other story i have read.
