Rebellious Thoughts #58 - 🤘 Can't Find Inspiration?

Hey Rebels!

Straight to the point:

I’m stuck.

I am very un-inspired.

I think it is a sign that I am not exposing myself to enough novelty, enough crazy stuff, enough reading.

The kids are good, pretty wife is awesome, I am training well, eating well, sleeping ok, super busy with work… so I can’t pinpoint really why I am flat. But I am.

Kinda shits me cos I’ve been consistently writing for over a year!

And some of you joined this week under the promise “I provoke you once a week” and I am today provoke-less.
(Check here, for real I wrote a lot and I think they are all provocative and give you a good challenge!)

Normally when I feel uninspired I go open a book and immediately I am inspired and then it’s like nonstop… takes me normally 30min to write a newsletter… it’s super spirit of the moment!

Anyway so let’s do that, let me go grab a book and get a little inspiration and come back to you with a provocation and a challenge for the week… hang tight.

Actually, how about I share my thinking on how I visualise life as a pendulum?
(I’ll draw the model later in this email)

Pendulums… Always swinging from opposites across a spectrum... from uninspired to inspired, from order to disorder, from certainty to uncertainty, resources to resourcefulness, happy to sad, busy to quiet, confident to insecure, calm to crazy, energised to flat, planned to spontaneous, structured to flexible, present to absent, fast to slow, strong to weak, comfortable to uncomfortable and hundreds more…

The tension between these forces results in life… I try to control it… try to stop the pendulums in exactly the places I want but the truth is that I can only influence it, rarely control it.

Sometimes I wish it didn’t swing as hard but again, it seems that the art is to learn to live with the swinging, influence what you can and adjust to what you can’t.

Here is your challenge this week:

Hopefully next week I will be more unflat.

Love

P.S. Hey, if you're feeling the same way—stuck, uninspired, or just a bit flat—you're not alone. Life's pendulum swings, and sometimes we all need a little push to get moving again. That's exactly what the Shake Up! Experience is all about.

It's designed to help you embrace those swings and turn that stuck energy into unstoppable motion. So, if you're ready to influence your pendulum and inject some excitement back into your life, join me in the Shake Up! Experience.
