Everyday

Inspiration is something you find in the extraordinary. It is something you find in miracles or those special signs. Inspiration is the mountain range that has existed forever and will last forever. It is the forest that stretches as far as the eye can see. It is the calm, vast sea that holds wonders we will never know.

Inspiration is the desert storm that rips through the sands. It is the powerful lightning strike that obliterates everything in its path. It is the roar of a lion that terrifies its prey. It is the very creation of this Earth by something amazing, whether it be science or a higher power. That is inspiration.

Inspiration is not the cry of yet another baby being born everyday. It is not the survivor of a car crash. It is not a single man saving countless others, he is just a man. They are just men.

Inspiration is not a student passing an exam. It is not a grandfather learning how to paint from his granddaughter. It is not the athlete who spends hours upon hours upon hours training. That's ordinary. These are ordinary things.

Unless inspiration really does come from the common, everyday phenomenons. The things we don't even glance at when it happens all around us. Inspiration is in everything, from terrifying acts of nature to a simple, kind act.
