“Inspiration” can come in ways you never expected.
“Inspiration” is all around us.
What is “inspiration?” How do I get “inspiration?” Where does “inspiration” come from?
Watch this week’s Truth in Two to be “inspired” (full text below).
If I can get you to learn without you knowing it, that, to me, is “inspirational.”

FULL TEXT:
It was the last day of class. We were having an informal time of discussion, professor and students. And since this was a college class, of course, there was food.
“I got better at grammar,” he began his oral reflection. “But you said you would not personally correct our grammar, nor would you grade down for syntactical mistakes. So, my question is, how did I get better at grammar when you didn’t assess my grammar?”
I smiled and asked, “Do you remember the first day of class? Do you remember what I told you my job was in this class?”
Without hesitation he said, “Yes. You told us your job was to inspire us.”
“So,” I questioned, “Were you inspired?”
“Yes, yes, I was,” he said.
“Did your inspiration make you want to be a better writer?” I continued.
“Yes. I did not enjoy writing before, but I do now,” he said.
“So,” my gentle questioning continued, “Are you surprised, now that you have become a better writer, that part of being better means your grammar has improved?”
There was a long pause. A smile slowly grew on his face. “I never thought about it like that! Inspiration in writing made me want to improve my writing, grammar included!” His smiling face changed to wonder.
“You mean, professor, that you got me to correct my own writing as the semester went along?”
Smiling I answered, “Do you think your experience could be called inspiration?”
Inspiration is creativity unleashed. An outside influence can incite another toward brilliance. At the Comenius Institute we believe that giving students ideas to ponder gives them opportunity to discover truth on their own. Getting people to think about truth can be inspirational.
Or in Jesus’ words, “The Truth can set you free.”
For Truth in Two, this is Dr. Mark Eckel, President of the Comenius Institute, personally seeking truth wherever it’s found.
