This is what I also think Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, author of The Little Prince was after.
“If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up your men to collect wood and give orders and distribute the work,” he said. “Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea.”
Heard that recently in Julia Galef’s TED talk which I think was awesome.
But I also struggle with that last one myself too. At least now I know inspiration is more about emotions than rational arguments.
