Inspiration is Perishable
Here’s a great piece found in Jason Fried and David Hansson’s latest book Rework, on the importance of acting on your inspiration.
We all have ideas. Ideas are immortal. They last forever.
What doesn’t last forever is inspiration. Inspiration is like fresh fruit or milk: It has an expiration date.
If you want to do something, you’ve got to do it now. You can’t put it on a shelf and wait two months to get around to it. You can’t just say you’ll do it later. Later, you won’t be pumped up about it anymore.
If you’re inspired on Friday, swear off the weekend and dive into the project. When yo u’re high on inspiration, you can get two weeks of work done in twenty-four hours. Inspiration is a time machine in that way.
Inspiration is a magical thing, a productivity multiplier, a motivator. But it won’t wait for you. Inspiration is a now thing. If it grabs you, grab it right back and put it to work.
Being that this blog in intended to inspire you, it is my sincere desire that you ACT on any inspiration you may receive from any of the postings! Take action…TODAY!
I’d like to know…
How are you acting on the inspiration you’ve received recently?
