Someone says life is hard. The comedian says, “Compared to what?” Comedians are philosophers. - Derek Sivers

Things are going to get harder.
The future will test your strength. So far, you’ve lived in a time of prosperity.
You haven’t experienced massive devastation, but you probably will.

The word “inspiration” usually means “something that mentally stimulates you.” But “inspiration” also means to breathe in. The meanings poetically combine when you think of yourself breathing in thoughts, filling your body with ideas. But don’t forget to breathe out.

To love something, first you have to connect with it.
Give it your full attention.
Deliberately appreciate it.
Try this with places, art, and sounds.
Try this with activities and ideas.
Try this with yourself.
