You know those moments when you get an idea that just sends shivers through your body? Before your mind begins its fear-based chatter of how irrational and out of reach it really is? And maybe the truth of it stirs so deeply in your being that tears spring to your eyes and humility settles in. This is inspiration at its finest and we call it intuitive “hit” for a reason. If we allow it, it can be quite bold in getting our attention.

As fate would have it, this was my experience today. And it reminds me to take hold of the nudges, the messages, the intuitive hits a little longer than we’re perhaps used to; Instead of tossing them aside as quickly as they come to us, to acknowledge them and ask the question: “What will I do with this now?” It’s when we ask the next step question that the magic really begins to unfold.

Whether you’ve just received the next “I wonder” idea or are overwhelmed with an urge you just can’t shake, ask yourself “What will I do with this now?” Your answer may be nothing, but at the very least you’ve acknowledged the spark. And that’s always the first step in creating the fire.
