If You Want to Be Inspired, You Need to Act First
One day, a group of firefighters was on a mountaintop fighting a fire. Upon finding themselves in a dead spot for radio reception, they became unsure of which direction they should go next to extinguish the flames.
Instead of moving forward as best they knew how, the firefighters stopped and waited where they were.
After a while of waiting, they decided to finally move away from the fire and make their way down to base camp.
Upon arriving, they were reprimanded for their mistake.
Had they moved in any direction towards the fire they would have left the dead spot and been able to receive direction about where to go next.
Your life is the same way.
You want to be inspired every day.
You want to know where to go and what to do to make the most difference. You want to make sure that you are in the best place at all times.
But most of the time, you feel uninspired. You don’t know where to go and what to do, other than what everybody else says.
