What happens when inspiration doesn't strike but you still need to show up? Is it possible to live an inspired life without constantly chasing big, bold visions?Most of us think of inspiration as dramatic flashes of insight or overwhelming passion that propels us toward magnificent achievements. But this narrow definition leaves most of our lives—and many types of people—out of the "inspired" category. In this illuminating episode, I challenge this limited view and introduce a three-dimensional framework that makes inspiration accessible to everyone, regardless of circumstance.We dive deep into the multidimensional concept of inspiration and explore how to find it even when we don't feel particularly animated or resonant. • Inspiration isn't just grand epiphanies but exists on three levels: macro, meso, and micro• Macro inspiration refers to big visions, life purpose, and seeing your journey from a higher perspective• Meso inspiration involves breaking down big goals into steps and finding motivation for monthly focuses• Micro inspiration centers on finding magic in day-to-day moments, even when not working toward big goals• The heart serves as a gateway to soul wisdom and helps us move past fear to follow inspired paths• Barriers to inspiration are opportunities to pause, reflect, and perhaps approach our goals differently• True inspiration involves showing up consistently, taking small measurable steps, and seeing yourself as the hero of your own storyWhether you're feeling creatively blocked, between major life purposes, or simply wanting to experience more aliveness in ordinary moments, this episode offers practical wisdom for rekindling your inner spark and recognizing the inspiration that's already present in your life.Join us next week for an all-new episode of Your Heart Magic and more psychology, spirituality, storytelling, and heart wisdom.--Your Heart Magic is a space where heart wisdom, spirituality, and psychology meet.

Going a little deep emotionally on this post as I found one that really has connected to some other things that I have found lately.  This one comes from Kylie Riordan (@mindfulheal) where she shares a quote from Terri St. Cloud and here it is: “And if, when it is all over, I'm asked what I did with my life, I want to be able to say “I offered Love!””  WOW!  Since we are getting closer to the end date in life than we were yesterday, I really feel this is a very powerful mindset to have.  Look ahead to how you want your finish line to look! Have the end in mind. Then build your days to connect with that.  John O'Leary has that as one of his “Live Inspired 7”, a set of questions he asks each of his guests from his podcast - one of the questions is: “It's been said that all great people can have their lives summed up in one sentence. How do you want yours to read?”  First of all, I love looking at myself as being a great enough person so that I can have that shot of having my life viewed like that. Again, one sentence… that's a powerful thought. For me it will have to contain something about being a life-long educator & coach, who loved his wife & family, friends and being a difference maker for his students, players, coworkers, etc.  I think I need to zero in on this one sentence for sure and then continue to build my life around that statement.  What would yours be like?  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.
