Staying Inspired

Jeremy Riddle

Being inspired is not an option, it’s a non-negotiable.
* It’s our responsibility to stay inspired.

If you want to do anything that’s of worth, you have to stay inspired.

Inspired people have a purpose.

The most important thing is to stay personally impacted by the person of Jesus.

You inspired writing a song, changes the world.

A key to staying inspired is to have heroes.
* You need to be around and study heroes.
* Someone who reminds you of the person you want to be.

Have a vision.
* A picture of a preferable future.
* What was Jesus’ vision to keep Him walking up the hill to be crucified.
* The joy set before Him kept Him from calling the entire thing off.

View your life as a race, not as a stroll through the park.
* A race has something at stake.

If you want to stay inspired, you have to know your weights and you have to deal with them.
* When you begin to go after something, it quickly exposes what your weights are.

Are my choices building my fire, or are they stealing my fire?
* Don’t abuse your freedom.
* Everything is permissible but not everything is beneficial.
