Things That Inspire:

Obsession isn't one of them. Mindless attachment to objects and places sure doesn't warrant admiration. Imitation drains the spirit but people feel flattered by it just the same. No, can't say a facsimile thrills me. Neither does blind devotion to a specific outcome. I deduct points for every sign that goes unnoticed.

A true inspiration is the person who listens and teaches, creates and gives, and understands gratitude is its own reward. Isn't this the sort of work to which one should aspire? Seems pretty simple. Stay engaged and keep busy, with neither time nor desire to say "look at me."
