365 Day Challenge [1/13 - 352]

I can't seem to shake off this thought of inspiration. It has been following me around now like the shadow of man, or the tail of a hippo, dull in sight but every so often giving a slow jump back into the foreground of my conscious. I wonder why I can't seem to think of any other good writing material decent enough for today's commitment; however I fall upon the conclusion that its just a mere lack of the aforementioned topic: inspiration. Finally, one thing for the day I can completely rest my wayward soul upon. Inspiration is and has been very minimal in my life as of late. No inspiration means no pressing matter to get out of my head and on to paper, or idea, or thought. Without inspiration is a writer a writer? Can a writer actually indulge into any meaningful written experiences without it?

I'll let myself digress from the above issue as I usually do, shifting focal towards the next pressing matter at hand. Tonight my brother called me, rambling onward and onward about the same ol' thing he has been telling me for the past 20 years of my life, but today was different. Today he said something that he never has "taught" to me before. This is what he said, "Never settle." Although the context of which he put it in was more so surrounded by monetary premise, my vantage point within the world allows me to covertly disengage the message from its example and make of it my own meaning.

Never settle. It isn't like I have never heard these words before, but recently I can honestly say that this is a cliche I haven't had in my life personally for quite some time. Never settle. To me this is motivational, telling me yet again that I should never settle for what I have or where I am at in life and always strive for my dreams. This is a dynamic world and all can be accomplished through different paths or different means. Accommodating this focal point of his, was also the fact of finding my path, and never letting it go for anything in the world.

Love you Bro, my one and only.
