Stories that inspire...

Or is it "inspiration that brings stories"?

Every single story I've ever read that led to the slightest amount of inspiration was born of inspiration.

Today's inspiration for me stems from two stories:
One is a blog that I read. Almost daily. The story behind that blog is ... eye opening. Life changing? Well. Every situation that we face in our lives is "life changing". But this can really change the why's and how's of life and what you do with yours.


Dan's blog has opened my eyes, in many regards, to following your dream. I've found myself getting caught in the rat race, and while I'm not afforded the possibility to really "jump off the edge" of everything I know, I have found myself wanting MORE out of this life. I don't want to live to work. I want to work to live. I want to be able to spend my time off out there, in this crazy beautiful world. Living my life, enjoying it. I am so tired of wasting it away, WATCHING other's live.


The other story that has led to the post tonight is a fictional story about love. Loving life. Loving yourself. Loving love. James Patterson wrote a book titled Sam's Letters to Jennifer.

You should read it. :) And then go find your love for yourself.
And your love for your life.

I've got this energy flowing through me, a creative energy. I know what I need to do, but I have to figure out HOW to do it.

It'll happen.

Right now, however, I'm gonna go love my bed.

Love and love,
Jes
