Last week we discussed inspiring someone. But inspiration can't do much unless you carry it out.
It's easy to get inspired, but too often it fades away in time. We forget, we get busy, or worse we get lazy.
Following up on inspiration is a habit – and a skill – that has to be developed, maintained, and improved. You have to make an effort, often a conscious one, to develop the ability to make ideas real.
So your goal this week is to take one piece of inspiration, either one you had recently or one you get this week – and make it real.
Write a column or a blog post. Do that waiting piece of art. Research that college you considered going to. Something, anything, pick one thing this week that you're inspired to do and go and do it.
Come to think of it, maybe you could make a habit of this . . .
