Inspiration when you least expect it

Inspiration when you least expect it

November 17, 2025

Sometimes inspiration comes when you least expect it.

This is a picture of the room where I start most mornings.

My friend Eric and I were laying out our mats for a leg flow and ab circuit. The room quiet, the music low, our intention set when a tiny feather drifted into my line of sight.

It floated without purpose, caught in pockets of air it couldn’t see. Up… down… sideways… as if life was moving it more than it was moving itself. I nudged Eric and nodded toward it, half-joking, half-fascinated.

Then it rose high enough to touch the ceiling. A soft tap. A pause. A moment of stillness. And then, without hesitation, it shifted direction and glided straight through the open window.

The same feather that had been wandering seconds earlier suddenly knew exactly where to go.

And I felt it: That feather is every one of us.

We reach ceilings in our routines, our careers, our identities, and convince ourselves that we’re stuck. That there’s nowhere left to go. And in a way, that’s true. When you’ve grown as much as you can in one space, the ceiling becomes real.

But ceilings aren’t endings. They’re invitations. Life isn’t saying “stop.” It’s saying transform. It’s asking you to find the open air, to drift into the unknown long enough to discover a new current to ride.

You don’t grow by pushing harder against the ceiling. You grow by finding the window. Life rewards those who move out into the world seeking the next flight path, mountain top, or horizon.

You’re not stuck. It’s just time for recreation.

Continue to live inspired,
