Today I feel exceptionally uninspired. It’s one of those dreary days, a chill in the air (that would otherwise be refreshing) but matched with a grey sky and could-storm-at-any-minute atmosphere, it makes you feel crappy.
Because our culture rewards remarkability and inspiration and wittiness, I feel even more uninspired than an average day when I’m just average uninspired. Yes, there is a difference.
When I’m average uninspired, I still leave room for a glint of genius. But today, my creative pores feel clogged, like someone had plugged cement in them during the middle of the night.
And even still, I want to shout from the rooftop of my office building, that “Being uninspired is OK!”
If I feel like a lump of “meh,” it’s OK. I am all the more inspiring on a more-than-average-uninspired day.
