Inspired Ideas: How to be open to receive inspired ideas for personal direction

Be open to receive

Inspiration can come to you via various avenues. These may be very ordinary but even the ordinary can prove to be an extraordinary moment when inspiration comes. You may say, “I’ve never seen that before.” Or, “I’ve never thought about it this way before.” Or, “How long have I heard that but never understood the meaning of it.” Or, “It never had any personal meaning to me before.”

Some of these avenues could come through reading material like an inspirational book, the Bible, or even the newspaper.

When you read, have an open mind to receive, “What’s the message here? How does it apply to me? Sometimes certain words or phrases may stand out as if to jump off the pages at you which you may have overlooked before. Books that come to you or other people may mention the name of a book that may stand out. Get the book and read it. It may contain the information you need to resolve whatever issue you may be facing at the time or will face in the future. This may be the preparatory moment you need to equip you to face whatever is up ahead. When you follow your inspired intuition, you’ll always get a sneak peek of what’s coming so you’re prepared.

Movies

Don’t just look at the pictures and listen to the sounds, but look for the hidden message for you. Even children’s movies have some profound meaning in the message. Some of which encourages you to follow your dreams and trust your heart. If it impacts you, that’s your inspired moment. Take the information, roll it over in your mind and use it as a stepping stone to help you through this moment.

Inspirational or motivational audio recordings

May contain the missing link you’ve been waiting for or may spark an idea.

Songs

Years ago my husband was going for a job and he heard the words of a song, “Hold on for one more day.” That was the message for the moment.

Many songs have taken me through some tough times. I could love you like that – these words had tremendous positive meaning for me at a critical point in my life. They’re like gold nuggets to take you through the process. They may not mean anything for anyone else but carry such deep meaning for you.

Holding positive discussions with family and friends may spark inspirational ideas. It’s like a door unlocks and opens and an invisible third party imparting wisdom to you. Many times when my husband and I are having discussions, the more we talk the more the inspiration comes and the more answers we get to our questions.

When you are open to receive, you see many opportunities where you are inspired during the day.

Inspired Ideas - Another way to receive inspired ideas to resolve personal issues

Need to tap into inspired ideas to resolve any personal issues?

Sometimes all you have to do is just show up - be here now. Be in the present and listen for the inspiration.

When I sit at my computer to write, sometimes I have no idea where to start. I sit and wait and listen. I’m open to receive. I’m open to be inspired. By waiting and listening, I may hear a few lines to begin with. At times, I’ve asked what comes after that before I start to type and I’d feel that I should start typing the line that I received and others will follow. So I’d type what I heard and as soon as I completed the last word other words would come to me one part at a time. I’d just trust the process and allow it to unfold as I follow. It’s like walking in the dark only seeing where your footing is immediately in front of you as you come into full light. Then, the entire path is revealed to you.

Other times, I’d think I’m going in one direction and end up with a completely different thought than what I had initially started with. And that’s okay, because the new inspiration was more enlightening than the first. Just go with the flow and be open to be directed by inspired ideas and thoughts.

When you become too set in one way, that’s when you experience blockages and frustration. Every day you get up, nature always has something new happening, whether it’s a sunny day one day, then rainy the next, or a combination of both or just sunny for a few days, then cloudy for a few day or even rainy for a few days but then it all changes and you get a different variety. Don’t become too set in your way that you miss fresh ideas and new perspective on life and your relationship with others around you.

Inspired Ideas: Develop what you have...Pt. 2

Part 2

Later on our business grew. We had embossed business cards, an ad in several advertisement books. We had order forms, a computer, business phones lines and we built on our first steps and continued to make progress.

You don’t have to have everything in place to begin. All you need to do is start and everything else you need will come at the right time as long as you keep moving forward. The information you need, the how to, the equipment, the people, the friendships, the relationships, everything will come to you.

Be appreciative of what you already have. Don’t hold on to your seed, sow it in the ground, do something with it so it can begin to grow. If your intention is to have a harvest of tomatoes, it doesn’t matter how many seeds you have. You could look at the seeds, admire them, talk about how beautiful these seeds are, or wonder what you could do with them if you had a harvest.

You could make tomato paste or include them in your most sophisticated and deliciously fresh salad. But, unless you actually sow those seeds into the ground and allow them to have a chance to germinate and grow into maturity so they can actually bear fruit, those delightfully delicious recipes you have in mind will continue to just be a wish.

I was recently working on a project. I had all the ideas of what I was going to do but I hadn’t actually begun to put the parts together. As I was standing at my kitchen sink doing the dishes, I was looking out at the garden which I could see from the window, and was just thinking about how our plants were coming along so nicely.

The thought came to me, “If you don’t put the seeds into the ground you wouldn’t get a harvest.” That’s all nice that I have all these great plans and ideas, but unless I actually put the seeds in the ground – begin to put the project into form – those ideas wouldn’t do anybody any good staying in my head. So, I got really busy putting my plan into action.

Inspired Ideas: Start with what you have...

Part 1

It will expand...

Sometimes, you’re busy looking at what others have and wishing if you only have their talent and abilities, you could do wonders. Well, you don’t have their talent; theirs were tailor made for them. It’s part of their package. You have your own. Look for your own talents, your own gifts and allow them to expand, develop and build on them. Your gifts are your seeds. Sow them in the fertile soil of inspired action and allow them to germinate into beautiful seedlings and to maturity to bear fruit.

You have all you need at the point where you are. Don’t criticize your gifts because they’re not bearing fruit or because you don’t see the full potential just yet. Your gifts have unlimited possibilities if you only get into the mindset to open up those possibilities. No one ever criticizes the size of a mustard seed or any seed. You never judge or criticize the size of a mustard seed or any other seed because you know when it is sown, watered and nurtured, it will grow into a massive tree.

Many years ago when we started our first business, it was in the designing field. We were determined to get it off the ground. So we scraped together what money we had saved to purchase the business license. We couldn’t even afford business cards at the time, we used strips of paper which we typed up our contact information and nicely cut out the pieces of paper and distributed them and showed off our product.

We'll do Part 2 tomorrow

Relax and center yourself

Inspiration comes all the time but the only way you can actually tap in to it is when you relax and center yourself and allow it to flow.

Close your eyes and take a deep breath. When you release the tension, you free yourself from entanglement and you can now receive inspired ideas.

Use visualization - see yourself inhaling tranquility and exhaling all tension. Inhale fresh new ideas and exhale what you don’t need, tension and frustration. Enter into a place of inner peace. You do this every day when you breathe in; you’re taking in oxygen for your body. Your body uses this oxygen.

As you exhale, you breathe out carbon dioxide which is waste. You keep what is good and release what is not beneficial to you. Similarly, you breathe in oxygen – life, calmness, so you can experience peace. You exhale carbon dioxide releasing tension and frustration into the atmosphere so this energy could be recycled on the energy matrix – like plants need carbon dioxide as part of their means of food creation through the process of photosynthesis.

This release and eliminates tension so you can fully function in a state of peace which opens up the door for creativity and inspired ideas to flow and expand.

One day when we were camping, we tied the leashes of our dogs, Moses and Chief to a tree. While they were both playing they became entangled. I tried to untangle them but they kept on playing and as they played they became even more entangled. It was only when I sat them down, made them relax, was I able to untangle their leashes and free them.

When you’re tangled in frustration, you’re setting up blockers from receiving your flow of inspired ideas. You are the river bed and once you’ve cleared the debris or the blockers from damming up this fresh continuous flowing supply, inspired ideas flow through you easily and naturally, like water in a river.
