As anyone who has read my blog for a while will know, I am a big fan of quotes. I recently came across this one:
“The magic won’t happen unless you wave your wand”
And it instantly resonated with me.
All too often, we sit around (or more accurately we rush around trying to get everything done) waiting for the magic to happen. Waiting for our dreams to come to us.
This quote is a gentle reminder that it just doesn’t work that way. Our dreams don’t come to us; it’s up to us to go out and find them, work for them, make them happen.
I also think this is a good quote for bloggers and/or writers. When a new idea hits, the words flow as if by magic. But there are some days when the magic doesn’t come, and we sit staring at a blank screen. We get enveloped by a sense of panic – will I ever write again?
Of course, the answer is yes – but we have to wave the wand. Inspiration, like our dreams, is something we need to go out and find sometimes. On those days where we feel we have nothing more to give, no more ideas, that’s when we have to find them. They are in there, sometimes, they just need a little teasing out.
So go out and find your dreams, your inspiration. Don’t be afraid to wave your wand.
Where do you look for inspiration when you are struggling for new ideas? Let me know in the comments 🙂

Oh I LOVE this quote, I have never heard it, but yes it is so true! WE do have to make things happen ourselves, and not just sit back. Some days I do just sit and stare at my laptop an feel frustrated that I have lost inspiration, but it is always short lived. I don’t really know what inspires me to start writing again, I just get an idea and the go with it.
Thank you 🙂 I do the same – I usually find walking away, just for a minute or two, works for me!
That is a great quote to live by! I know I need some of that magic lately as I’m trying to get myself back to writing my stories but haven’t had the time or the motivation, or the inspiration. This quote just drives it home that I need to sit down and make it happen. Thanks Debbie! #candidcuddles
I hope this helps you find your inspiration! A lot of the time, the hardest part is actually sitting down and starting, once you do, the words just flow 🙂
Debbie, this is awesome!! What an inspirational quote for sure. Thank you so very much and I know we can all relate!!!
Thank you, I’m glad you related to the quote 🙂
I really love this quote!! SO inspirational – definitely made me want to go out and get things done!

Thank you 🙂 That’s exactly how I felt too!
I have never heard this quote before but it is fab! We do have to go out and make it happen ourselves, I am definitely feeling motivated now xx #candidcuddles
Thank you 🙂 It really makes me feel that way every time I see it too x
That’s a great quote! And so true.
Thank you 🙂
I’ve never heard this one before (although I have read similar ones with the same sentiment), and I love it. For me, sitting down and writing, even if it’s writing that I don’t know what to write and going of on any tangent that pops into my head, helps free up space to let the inspiration through x

That’s great, I love just writing and seeing what comes out. Sometimes you really surprise yourself! x
Great quote – blogging requires a lot of wand waving if you want it to go anywhere! 😄 #candidcuddles
That’s for sure!
Great quote, thanks for sharing!
Thanks, I’m glad you liked it 🙂
This really puts me in mind of your post about finally giving up the barmaiding and going all the way with making an income from writing. That post really inspired me and made me think “what if I can do that too”. Nobody achieved their dreams without a lot of graft aka wand-waving 🙂 Thanks for sharing this on #candidcuddles
I’m glad the post got you thinking that way – and you can totally do it! Thank you and thanks for hosting 🙂
