Back in the day inspiration was the drive.
When I was in Yeshivah I woke up in the morning with the hope of being inspired. If I managed to inspire myself I considered it a good day, if not, no big deal, I would just wait for the next day.
Now that I am out of Yeshivah for a few years, I discovered that I don’t have the luxury of waiting for inspiration. I have a family, co-workers, responsibilities. I can’t afford to wait for the inspiration to come - especially that the inspiration is more elusive now that I am out in the world.
Instead of inspiration I now rely on consistency. I make sure to do my spiritual exercise daily - even of I am not in the mood. Some times I get inspired, but even if iff not I don’t feel empty. I may feel uninspired but I feel connected.
Inspiration used to be the drive to achieve, now inspiration is the reward for consistent achievement.
