Inspiration Is Short Lived

Inspiration is necessarily short lived because if it weren't, there would be no need for perspiration, and without perspiration, no sense of aliveness. I need a sense of earning. Maybe it's just our work ethic, but without earning our happiness, I feel like a passive recipient of life, not truly alive.

I seek constant inspiration when what I really need is to practice maintaining the movement. I seek a guide or dogma forever telling me where to go and what to do, but would I be really living if I was just offered a script? Self-creation is the joy of the universe, but I long for direction in cowardice.
