The word inspire can be traced back to the latin root word “inspirare,” meaning “to breathe into” or “to blow into.”
Inspirare of course stems from spirare, meaning “to breathe.”
Soon, we began to use the word figuratively.
To breathe in, is to bring in the new, to inspire, to innovate.
And to innovate, to embrace change, is to breathe in.
Of course, when we create space to pause, to breathe, we are also creating space for inspiration.
