One Moment

"If you had one shot, one oppurtunity, to seize everything you ever wanted in one moment, would you capture it? Or just let it slip? -Eminem (Lose Yourself)

I feel that it's really important that you be able to recognize what inspiration is and when it is there. Since we only live each moment once, we have to be able to recognize oppurtunities and any inspiration that comes our way. Being able to recognize inspiration is the first step. The second step is to be able to capture the moment. It's something I'm not very good at. Inspiration comes at me left and right and I always let it slip by failing to find a useful way to capture the oppurtunity. It probably doesn't mean all that much but realizing that you only experience each second once, this makes every encounter unique. You don't get to live it again so if you let oppurtunities and inspirations pass by without being captured, it sometimes sucks because there are times when you find yourself looking back to a time when you felt a certain way or thought certain things, but you can't remember.

So if you can recognize inspiration, and be able to capture it, it will lead to many awesome things. Take advantage of what you can because if you dont, it's only to your disadvantage in the long run.
