It is interesting how addicted we are as a society to inspiration. Perhaps it is the dopamine hit. We are listening, watching, clicking, scrolling, and flipping for inspirational content. I got a tear in my eye seeing a social media post about a man being reunited with his cat. I almost shared it with my wife, and then I thought, what the heck am I doing here? Do I really need some silly video of a man hugging his old tom cat to get through the day?

It is amazing how much inspiration you can find with your family and friends. I have a new concept!! Talk to people. Yes, actually pick up the phone or go and visit them. Ask them to tell you a story! You will be amazed at how much inspiration is right in your own circle of people you care about.
