Inspiration is a motivating action or influence that results in creativity and productivity. When we get stuck in a rut or when life gets static, or when we have trouble coming up with ideas, a little inspiration can go a long way. When we’re inspired, we feel empowered and then suddenly our minds and hearts start to race with passion and possibility.
