The Inspiration Gap, Why We All Fall In and How to Get Out by Corny Carver of B-More with less.com

There is no shortage of inspiration out there in the world. I've been reading nonstop lately about

different topics that interest me. I am bursting with inspiration, but I've yet to take action.

I'm stuck in the inspiration gap, that gray area between a spark and a flame, between inspiration and action. Think back to a

time, it may have been five years ago, or maybe it was yesterday, where he felt inspired to make a

change in your life, or to dump a a bad habit or start a better one.

Then what happened? In some cases, he may have used your inspiration to jump right into action,

but other times he got stuck in the gap. Here's how the inspiration gap works. You read a book

or an article or watch a documentary, attend a conference, or hear a story about someone who's

changing their life or changing the world. And your heart flutters a little. You think,

if they can do it, so can I. Or your inner voice pipes in, let's do this, let's make a change.

Or in some other way, you get a sign that you're inspired to do something, be something,

make, or change something.

And then, the gap.

You decide to do more research.

You get distracted by email.

You are hungry.

You have to pick up the kids at school.

You are tired.

Your favorite TV show is on.
