A Lot of Inspiration for A Happy Life

Suddenly the inspiration came

Suddenly, the vision of where my amber pendant came to me. The amber pendant is that I lost three years ago.  I looked it for all over the house but didn't find and gave up. 

However, suddenly that vision came to my mind when I was enjoying my morning tea: an amber pendant in a sewing box with jewelry beads. 

To prove that revelation, I explored in the sewing box and pick up the amber pendant. It was like a miracle. 

I was deeply impressed by the wonder of inspiration.

Environment to get inspiration

There is a certain condition to get inspiration, which I learned from my experience. 

Because I had spent these days differently: I enjoyed a short summer vacation with my family at a hotel with a spa in Tokyo. 

The hotel's Japanese garden has huge trees, temples, Buddha statues, stone statues, waterfalls and ponds, and we enjoyed nature.

The quality of the outdoor hot springs seems to have medicinal properties. We also walked a lot in Nature. 

At breakfast, we enjoyed fresh juice, sparkling wine, fresh vegetable salad, truffle-loaded eggs Benedict, and chamomile tea, overlooking the Japanese garden and chatting with the whole family.

The inspiration came to me after such a refresh.  

The process of inspiration

According to Yoshimasa Yoshinaga "Where does the inspiration come from?" 2004, Koshisha, 

there are four processes that lead to human inspiration:

1) Think through

2) Think until you hit the wall

3) Forget

4) Do unrelated activities

The important step in the path to the inspiration are 

• to note what is goal and 
• to forget it. 

Therefore, for inspiration coming to us, it is important to first clarify the goal and then think through it. However, intuition does not work just by thinking. 

Because, the inspiration comes from beyond oblivion. Therefore, large amounts of information and long-term concentration are even harmful.  

In fact, I can't think of any good ideas when I search the Internet for a long time.  

I feel that too much information is blocking my inspiration.  In addition, it is not enough to simply go toward the purpose.  

A wonderful inspiration needs a refresh.

Gentle chaos, the fluctuation of Nature, creates inspiration 

It is the gentle chaos and the fluctuations of Nature that create the inspiration. Inspiration does not come about however we improve our memory or computing skills. 

In other words, inspiration is not compatible with conscious, goal-oriented, or artificial environments. 

Relaxation in Nature, solid wood tables, linen parasols, and organic herbal teas create a gentle chaos and the sway of nature in our minds. 

The natural shape is comfortable, not an artificial straight line. It's asymmetrical and unbalanced design that makes me feel comfortable

　

Happiness built with wish and inspiration

From the above, making a wish and getting inspiration makes our life happy by the following steps: 

The first step is to sow the seeds of happiness. In other words, writing various wishes. Feel free to list your ideas with a pen. It is important to actually write. 

The second step is to think, think, and think through. However, it is not good to think for a long time or pack too much information. 

The third step is to calm down the calm chaos and nature. Forgetting to do unrelated activities is the shortest distance to "inspiration." 

In the fourth step, spiritual inspiration comes without any warning. 

The fifth step is to actually carry out the inspiration to prove it. 

If you often have good inspiration, your life will be fulfilled. Inspiration is not something that you think in your head, but wisdom that comes from nowhere.

Summary

Be happy with inspiration. 

First, write out wishes, inspiration seeds. 

Next, think about how to realize. 

Then forget to spend a rich time in Nature. 

When the inspiration comes, do it.
