I go through the world looking for inspiration every single day. I have developed a strong trust in my subconscious mind’s ability to process information for me. When the task is complete, it latches onto something around me as a way of letting me know it is done. It may be the way a particular shade of green is married up to an orange in a logo. It could be something profound in how the light is flowing between leaves in the trees. It could be something mundane such as noticing how my chair feels more comfortable suddenly.
Inspiration is simply the mind connecting to something. Whatever it is, the mind uses this something to spit out the idea it has been processing.
Creativity is the soul of everything we do. To move up in the world, you must be creative. That’s not to mean you must be artistic (although I equate the two closely). Creativity in this sense means to think differently. It’s the putting together of ideas and concepts in a way that hasn’t been done before.
Truly inspired individuals cause that inspiration to flow to others. Usually, this is because they are particularly effective communicators. They make it clear they have something to share and then articulate it in a way that the idea becomes owned by those listening.
Let the world talk to you. Said another way, listen to yourself when you are trying to get your own attention.
