Definition
people, things, or ideas that make you want to create something or do something; sudden brilliant ideas or feelings of motivation.
Etymology
From Latin 'inspirare' (to breathe into), from 'in-' + 'spirare' (to breathe). Originally meant divine influence breathed into humans; evolved to mean any motivating influence.
Kelly Says
Notice how inspiration literally means 'breathing in'—artists talk about inspiration like it's an external force entering them, yet science shows inspiration happens when your brain connects disparate ideas. It feels mystical but it's neural networking.
