You can’t just sit and wait for inspiration to show up. You need to help make it manifest itself. You need inputs to generate the outputs, and you need to be open, vulnerable and courageous to let them out.

β€œWith the light of the brain, with the flame of the heart, I besiege every cell where God is jailed, seeking, trying, hammering to open a gate in the fortress of matter, to create a gap through which God may issue in heroic attack.” ― Nikos Kazantzakis
Movie idea: a mafia film that ends with the plot twist that the mafia is actually the government
We are not tormented for no reason. We are tormented so we would pay attention to the Call. We are tormented so that we would respond to the Cry of Battle. The Battle for our lives, for God; the Spirit of Humanity.
Don’t think that there will ever come a time when you stop making mistakes. That there will be a time when you are so good and wise and virtuous that you can do no harm; and do no wrong. Accept your fate as a flawed mortal being, accept your mistakes β€” no, OWN your mistakes, but don’t let them own you. Learn from them without dwelling on them β€” because they are like quicksand β€” dwell on them and you will sink in, they will consume you; and soon you will be enveloped by them in such a way that you will only be surrounded by THEM: your mistakes, your selfishness, your foolishness, your hubris, your sins. And if all you have is that, then, well β€” I would say that’s pretty damn close to Hell. However, if you completely ignore all that, then that’s like a small fire in your house that you’re not doing anything about. Continue paying no attention and soon, the things you ignored will burn your whole house down. The Fire is a powerful friend, but a terrible enemy.
