For me,
"inspiration"
is a loaded term. But not in a bad way! I notice it resonates inside
me on some deep level. It strikes some kind of chord. The word
"inspiration" can be broken down to mean "in
spirit" -- which, to me, is introverted iNtuition firing on all cylinders.
For me, that is a spiritual experience. (Notice how spirit is part of both
words: inspiration and spiritual. Is this how other INFJs
experience spirituality I wonder?)
When I am at the top of my game, I am
the embodiment of inspiration. When my life is
empty, there is a void, a desert -- a decided lack of inspiration.
I further
notice that inspiration and creativity go hand in hand. My creativity is
at its best (of course) when I feel inspired. And what often inspires me
to creativity is being a catalyst in someone's life. I pull out all the
stops for the chance to impact someone's life in a meaningful way (hence this
website, for example).
So some
questions about that:
What
percentage of your day do you typically feel inspired?
What
inspires you? How do you express your creativity? What do these look
like?
