Inspiration is easy to spot, and hard to fake. Think about it: replacing humans in movies with digital lookalikes doesn’t work (yet), however perfectly computer-animated they are. Human expression and body language is so complex, it’s hard for even the most powerful computers to simulate. People can spot a flicker of inspiration in seconds. They pick up your movements, your tone of voice, even your smallest facial expressions. You can see this for yourself: repeat a recent, boring conversation for a minute in front of a mirror and watch your face. Next, for another minute, talk about something you really care about (such as a hobby, a dream, or a strong belief). I’m certain your face will show more excitement and energy. It’s what I call the flicker of inspiration. If you show others this flicker behind your eyes, they too will be inspired.
