Summary:
Thank goodness inspiration doesn’t wait for us. If it did, I might still be fending off that knife-wielding attacker.
I wasn’t looking for inspiration; I was trying to survive. With my back against a door and no escape, I knew if I didn’t hold it shut, the knife would find me.
Trapped in the house, nowhere to run, all my weight pressed against the door, I realized the attacker wouldn’t relent. And that’s when it happened.

Thank goodness inspiration doesn’t wait for us. If it had, I might still be battling an attacker with a knife.
In that critical moment, I wasn’t seeking inspiration?"I was fighting for my life. If I didn’t hold the door closed, the knife would undoubtedly reach me.
Cornered in the back room with nowhere else to escape, I pressed my weight against the door, aware that the attacker wouldn’t stop. Then, unexpectedly, inspiration struck.
A quiet voice inside me whispered, “Put your coat on and let them in.”
I glanced at my thick skiing jacket hanging nearby. Could it offer protection?
Maybe.
Maintaining pressure on the door, I managed to slip on the coat. The voice continued, “Open the door slightly, then fully. When the moment feels right, pull them in.”
Though it seemed counterintuitive to allow an attacker access, I followed the advice, disarmed them, and held them until it was safe to let go.
Perhaps that voice was common sense, intuition, a guiding spirit, or something else entirely.
To me, it was the voice of inspiration?"a surprising ally then, now a familiar companion.
While the experience may have saved my life, that voice has since helped shape my journey.
As I mentioned earlier, “Thank goodness inspiration doesn’t wait for us,” because I might not always be prepared to hear its wisdom.
Yet, inspiration nudges and guides me, leading to moments where I look back and laugh at my initial hesitance.
Consider the story of a man yearning to win the lottery. Week after week, he prayed, but never won. Frustrated, he complained to God in his prayers.
Eventually, God responded, “Meet me halfway. At least buy a ticket!”
This tale reflects Edison’s sentiment: “Genius is 5% inspiration and 95% perspiration.”
Inspiration provides the idea or guidance. Perspiration is what brings it to life. And when we balance the two, who knows what greatness we can achieve?
