1,001 ways to be inspired

I am a writer (among other things). I love interviewing people and sharing their stories. For most people in life, if you're not inspired you're in trouble. Every day I am inspired to do what I love is a good day. On those days I don't feel so inspired, I appreciate where I am and I look for inspiration in and around me. Then I share it.

Most human interactions are confined to the exchange of words — the realm of thought. It is essential to bring some stillness, particularly into your close relationships.

No relationship can thrive without the sense of spaciousness that comes with stillness. Meditate or spend silent time in nature together. When going for a walk or sitting in the car or at home, become comfortable with being in stillness together. Stillness cannot and does not need to be created. Just be receptive to the stillness that is already there, but is usually obscured by mental noise.

If spacious stillness is missing, the relationship will be dominated by the mind and can easily be taken over by problems and conflict. If stillness is there, it can contain anything. ~ Eckhart Tolle
