True imagination is not moving the blocks of our reality from one spot to another, rather it is the pouring forth of an entirely new reality according to the wellspring of the dreams within our hearts.
Robert Tennyson Stevens
So I am starting a new venture to actively pursue inspiration. Why?? Because it breeds CREATION! And I want to create and then allow my creations to inspire others, who will in turn… (all together now) Create!! Creativity is in ALL of us, just some more visible and tapped into than others.
Ok yes I am aware that my last three major "creations" make up most of my time (joyfully so of course : ) But in everything we do we make choices. We ALL have some kind of downtime, or steal-away time, or (most majestic music played here) “ME” time. What we choose to fill that time with can be a doorway to endless possibilities. On one side you have the ease of mindless entertainment (feel not judged, I am a fan!) However, what does this release in us? In what does it challenge us to go further in, dream bigger…create? But, that is the way I unwind!! (you and I may both rebut in a quick “no I am NOT being defensive” kind of way).
Well that is why you (and... I?...weird) have me, to help you with a most excellent counter-rebuttal! So start where you are at! If the internet and tv are common ways for us to unwind, don’t just watch anything, just to have something to watch. FIND something that inspires you. On the internet, don’t just stare at the facebook newsfeed waiting for an interesting tidbit of randomness to show itself in livetime, find blogs that inspire you and even “how-to’s” that challenge you to try something new! Read books and listen to music that inspire. If you have a little more freedom to do so than I at this stage, travel!...and even if you can't, just get out in nature! The best creations pull from a diversity of inspirations and mediums. Oh and the best idea yet- get around people that inspire you. It’s contagious! I promise!
