If you were able to ask a lot of the great minds from the past just where their inspiration came from, that’s the one thing they probably couldn’t tell you for sure. Strange thing.

But, in all cases, they could agree that their inspiration ‘came to them.’  That is to say it was something given to them and, in that way, they would be taking only partial credit for the idea or perhaps just taking credit for ‘being there.’ Maybe Woody Allan was right to say that 90% of success is just showing up.

Certainly this idea of inspiration ‘coming to you,’ like a gift, is a large part of what it’s all about. By letting something ‘come to you,’ you’re acknowledging that you’re accepting help from perhaps a larger source and not trying to do it all by yourself.

Certainly to say that god or source is the origin of inspiration seems reasonable since god or source has created everything in existence, if you buy that postulate.

Joe Vitale has said that he believes god doesn’t just give one person an idea but gives the same idea to a number of people. Therefore, if you have an idea and don’t act on it, you can expect someone else to.

This would certainly go along with the idea that we are all one consciousness. So the ideas are there, in the air and it’s up to us to ‘be there,; and be open to accept the gift.

If it’s beautiful music, we need to be ‘up there,’ in the high energy, if it’s a brilliant solution we have to be more or less expecting an answer.
