But anyways. Enough of that not-much-of-a-success. I want to talk about inspiration.
in·spi·ra·tion
noun
- 1.the process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially to do something creative.
"The process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially to do something creative." I like that a lot, and I like inspiration a lot.
Inspiration to me, is what fuels my life. I am a very idealistic person, therefore inspiration is something that is a large part of my life and in fact keeps me going and motivates me, it is my fuel.
When I'm down, or low on fuel you could say, I go get me some inspiration! Allow me to share with you some of the places I get inspiration:
Cyberspace -
Nothing better than the vast cyberspace to pick up some inspiration! However, I find that sometimes using this can hold me back from life or become addicting and I don't like that. Anyways, here are some of my favorite spots on the inter-webs to get inspiration.
- ZenHabits - This really cool site run but an even cooler guy named Leo Babauta. He writes the most beautiful and inspiration things and it's just the best.
- Live Unbound Blog - You might have heard me talk about We Live Unbound because it's freaking awesome. Their blog is such a great place to pick up some quick motivational inspiration!
- Vimeo - Vimeo is an awesome place where you can watch beautiful films. I like to watch adventure films or time lapse films of nature and it really makes my heart soar.
- Pinterest - Yeah I said it. Design is my passion and pinterest is a place I often turn to for inspiration. However, I am currently avoiding pinterest because I feel like it is holding back my creative juices because there is so much to see and I forget to just be myself. Unimportant tad bit of information.
- TED - Obviously. If you have some time to spare, definitely watch some TED talks because nothing else gives inspiration quite like this.
- Maptia - Last but DEFINITELY not least. This is probably my favorite out of all, and if you haven't heard of it, I'm sorry, now you have, you're welcome. I love this because they have the most beautiful words that really make my heart soar and give me a thirst for adventures and the inspiration levels are so high it's crazy.
Mother Nature - Another amazing place to get inspiration, probably my favorite, and probably the best one out there. It's so beneficial in so many ways. Take a walk, or a hike, or go on an adventure. I always get so much inspiration from nature because you can truly disconnect from the world and reconnect to what's important. Also just looking at nature is wonderful. You can check out my Flickr if you want. :)
Reading - Reading is such a way to get inspiration, all you have to do is pick up a good book and dive in.
Art - I definitely find inspiration in art, and luckily there is art and beauty all around us if you just look for it.
Now you have some new places to get inspiration, where do YOU get your inspiration? Comment! It always makes me happy ;)
With that aside, everyone has to have an output for their inspiration! A reason they thirst for inspiration in the first place.
Like I said before, my inspiration fuels my life. So I output my inspiration into my art, journalism/writing, and hard work towards progress, and it feels great. :)
So yeah that was non-nonsensical but ya know, whatever. I can definitely say that inspiration is the core of my life. It's also important that I make sure that my inspiration can flow freely, without being restricted by other things, thus the media fast. ;)
Remember that you are infinite and I love you, bai! :)
