The company was recognized as a successful start-up and it had amazing talent—some of the brightest, hardest-working people I’ve ever known. Every day was a challenge: new technology to explore, strong personalities to understand, production goals to meet, an international audit to pass, failed components and processes that needed an immediate fix, significant office politics to navigate, an elaborate new company-wide computer system to learn, just for starters.

On more than one occasion I spent 12 hours on a Saturday at my desk, hoping I’d get caught up in time to meet the next week’s deluge. I never resented it; instead, I loved it. I knew that what I was doing was important to the success of the company. My colleagues—every one of them the very best at what they did—inspired me to always do better than my best. What’s more, we all had fun together. I will never forget some of the practical jokes we played on one another or the pride we all felt when our company achieved yet another milestone.

Psalm 23

The Lord is my Shepherd. I shall not want.
He maketh me lie down in green pastures where He gives me repose.
Beside still waters, He refreshes my soul.
He leadeth me down the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of death I shall fear no evil,
for Thou art with me. Your rod and your staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies;
Thou annointest my head with oil.
My cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and kindness will follow me all the days of my life,
And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

We need nothing more to be inspired, since we’re connected to Spirit already. Below and above the ranges that our eyes and ears perceive, the entire activity of creation remains invisible and inaccessible—but when we shift from sensory searching to trusting what we know, we discover the folly of chasing after anything in order to feel inspired.

All we need is a conscious realignment so that our thoughts begin to match up vibrationally with Spirit, which we know is a part of us already. And our state of inspiration is what allows for this realignment. When we tune in to what we know rather than what we see, we immediately find that every thought of God is repeated throughout the Universe. We can watch as some things enter our life and others leave, all the while remaining in-Spirit, knowing that all of those things have nothing to do with our state of inspiration. We need nothing more to be inspired, since we’re connected to Spirit already.
