It has a strange way of inspiring you at times. Especially when you don’t fully understand the lesson that’s supposed to be learned from the experience that transpires. I read somewhere that the lesson will keep showing up until you grow from it or learn what your supposed to, something along those lines.
I met a friend recently, and although I surmise she is younger than me by a few years, she’s amazingly well put together. Career-wise and what have you. It’s very inspiring, though how ever long it may take me to reach some kind of security like her, I may not know. That’s when that sinking feeling returns. What am I doing by creating this “art”? Ultimately I aspire to inspire those around me, and if I could have changed one person’s perspective, or even to go as far as trajectory in life, just simply by being there, having said something that motivated change or even brought some fresh viewpoint back into an otherwise stagnant flow, if I could say a few things, make a few poems, and be the cataylst to even something small. I think I will be somewhat satisfied. But then stems the question, is that enough?
On a more realistic note, will that pay the bills? Lol. They say it’s never too late, but is that just an illusion?
More recently I think it was yesterday morning I listened to a motivational video and one of the speakers said, strive for greatness, so then is being satisfied with motivating just one person or inspiring change in one person enough? Or should I aim to motivate and inspire millions? Puzzles.
