Inspiration is Constant

I’m not gonna lie, motivated is not what I would call myself right now. What is happening in the world is blowing my mind, and I am deeply grieving the life I left behind. A life that, at times, I’m not sure will ever come back. My life pre-COVID was fast. It was stimulating. It was full of possibility, and endless opportunity. Now I feel like my ambition has been muzzled. Like everything I know has been put on pause, or worse, erased and not backed up. That is how I feel on my bad days.

On my good days, I am reminded that my drive to realize my vision has nothing to do with the end result. It is entirely about the journey. It is about becoming the type of man that can endure any setback and find the beauty in a well-placed detour. That is where we are today. This is a detour. We didn’t see it coming, nor do we know exactly the route it’s taking us, but it is still a detour nonetheless. Let us be inspired by our journey, and look for motivation in the forest, not the trees.
