The Inspiring Force of Urgent Necessity



Perhaps you will ask me, "Why are there no other drawing in this book as magnificent and impressive as this drawing of the baobabs?" The reply is simple. I have tried. But with the others I have not been successful. When I made the drawing of the baobabs I was carried beyond myself by the inspiring force of urgent necessity.  (The Little Prince)

The Inspiring Force of Urgent Necessity: What do we absolutely have to do?  What inspires us to the point of being a necessity?

Knowing this is a game changer.  How much of our lives is spent on urgent non-necessities?  Draining our energy on this and that; telling ourselves (or believing the priorities of others) that we must get something  done and it must be NOW!  ASAP!  Super important - trust me.  It seem that making priorities out of nonnecessities and spending lots of time on uninspired must-do's drains our life force. 

I want plenty of gas in the tank when I'm ready to pass eight semi's on Hwy 89 - now that's urgency.  Just keeping my antennas up for inspiration. 

What's your "inspiring force of urgent necessity?"
