Inspiration
Our daily routine defines who we are, what we think, and our future actions. Oftentimes, we grow up with a societal narrative that dictates what we are supposed to accomplish in our lives. For most of us, it is what our parents, media, friends, community, school, university, workplace, and country have ingrained in our thinking. As we progress in life, the stereotypical societal expectations are enhanced and reinforced, without us ever taking the time to think about why we are doing what we are doing.
Some consider this to be a modern phenomenon, but the truth of the matter is that it has been apparent throughout history. Many great men came to a point in their lives where they questioned the prevalent morals, values, beliefs, and customs in their societies. The wise men of old took the time to meditate in the wilderness before inspiration descended upon them. Even those who have been trained in the religious sciences and who have accomplished great stature, come to a point where they seek to understand basic assumptions of life.
A child might innocently say something profound while a Ph.D. holder might find it difficult to see holistically.
For insights, we do not necessarily need qualifications and certifications. Often, the more “regulated” we are, the more occluded from reality we become.
Inspiration requires a person to be clean from the inside, having correct thoughts and worthy aspirations. It requires natural living with ample opportunities for worship, work, study, and reflection throughout the day.
