Inspiration

Family: Intention and approach

How it differs from similar states

I see my potential more clearly; I want to create and act right now.

How this can feel in the body

A sense of expansion and possibility—your body fills with energy and wants to create.

It usually comes up when

Encountering an inspiring example, idea, or experience.

What this might be pointing to

Expands your sense of your own potential through an external source.

What you can do with this

Inspiration has an expiration date. Act while it's here: write the idea down, take the first step, sketch it, begin. Structure can sustain what inspiration starts.

Where the name comes from

Inspiration may begin with an external example or idea, but unfolds as an inner experience.

Not quite it?

Closest by feel — the same ones the compass would show.
