"As I grow older part of my emotional survival plan must be to actively seek inspiration instead of passively waiting for it to find me."
American Novelist
1950 - 2006
Where do you find inspiration? Do you wait for inspiration to hit you like a lightening bolt or are you actively looking for events, people, places and objects to inspire you? I believe we need to constantly be stoking the fires of creativity. And we can do this by exploring places we have never been, immersing ourselves in new cultures and meeting new and unusual people. We can also stoke the fires by reading books on history, biographies and memoirs. If we wait for inspiration to strike, we may be along time in waiting. What do you do to stoke the fires of creativity in your life?
