Be Inspired

The feeling of inspiration can come about in different ways, from various sources, and at the most random of times. I think many times inspiration comes about accidentally, such as when we see a flower while walking and become inspired by the beauty of its color and the delicate details of its petals. Or when we read a thoughtful saying on Facebook that happens to show up in our feed.

But what about actually taking the time to intentionally seek out inspiration? How often do we look for inspiration?

This past weekend I was in LA touring the Warner Bros. Studios and I was overwhelmed with inspiration as I saw the actual costumes used for Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins and Harry Potter and sat in the "Central Perk" set of my favorite TV show Friends. 

And I thought, I should do this more often. I need to seek out what inspires me on a daily basis not just when I am on vacation or when I am free for a couple of hours. 

My inspiration today was listening to the Harry Potter audio books while I drove to work. I started the audio book series a couple of months ago and then got out of the habit of listening, but I picked it back up today. Allowing myself to experience another world that is filled with interesting characters and adventures inspires my creativity and opens my mind to endless possibilities. And it was so worth it. My day felt more alive, I felt more satisfied, and my mind felt more free. 

What inspires you? Take the time to find out how you are inspired and pursue your inspiration.
