Inspirational Sayings

Inspiration is the seed that germinates and flourishes into a blooming daisy of fortune and contentment. Every invention, no matter how big or small requires a substantial tinge of inspiration. A task completed sans inspiration is a task done shoddily and half-heartedly. Inspiration is the catalyst that spins the wheels of a car into motion, the sun rays that enable a sapling to sprout into a giant fruit bearing tree. Inspiration should not be confused with incentives, especially not the monetary kinds. Inspiration comes from within. Does the unanticipated rush of adrenaline sound familiar to you? Akin to the times you grabbed your canvas and paintbrush to duplicate the mystical hues of the sky? Or the times you doodled endless rhymes when you experienced your first teenage crush? Along with your surprise, the end results were actually good by general public standards! Such is the beauty of inspiration. Pick up your shovel and dig for it as you walk past these quotes and sayings.
