“Our moments of inspiration are not lost though we have no particular poem to show for them ”
— Henry David Thoreau
Simplified Meaning:
When we feel inspired but don't create something tangible, that inspiration isn't wasted. It's like having a great idea for a story but not writing it down; the feeling and the thought process still benefit us. Think about a time when you had a sudden brilliant idea while taking a walk. Even if you didn't turn that idea into a project, it still sparked your creativity and might influence your thinking later on. Inspiration can boost our mood, give us new perspectives, or simply make us feel good. The key is that these moments of inspiration have value, even without a finished product to show. So, if someone feels inspired and motivated, they shouldn't worry if there's no immediate result; the experience itself is still important and can lead to growth and new ideas.
