When you are out of inspiration...create your own

I woke up today with no obvious idea as to what I would write today. Most days, I am blessed with inspiration from so many different perspectives, and while they may still be there, it isn't as prevalent today. This goes to show that no one is immune from a blockage of inspiration or creativity, but with any setback you have to keep pushing. After all, I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't give you all a post today; nobody cares about your personal life when you have a job to do, just get it out and get it done! lol

There is so much power in inspiring, so why not be that motivating force for yourself? You have to inspire yourself to keep going. It is up to you to believe in your craft or no one else will. You have to embody everything you want to represent so that it will reflect upon others. Don't be afraid of criticism, people will talk about you for the rest of your life, whether it's good or bad so you might as well give them something to talk about.

The most amazing thing about inspiration is it's spontaneity; you never know when or where you will receive it, it's kind of like crying or rain...in most cases it's unexpected. When you are out of inspiration there are several things you can do to get those creative juices flowing. You can read a book, watch a movie, drive, people watch, paint, or listen to music.

When you are lacking inspiration it's always best to get up and do things to take your mind off of it. Try new things that you normally wouldn't, go places you've never been. Another rewarding form of inspiration is going to help others... this could be a simple gesture of helping a senior citizen put groceries into the car, feeding the hungry, or volunteering at your local church, school or library. There are no limits to inspiration so get out there and start to absorb the positivity that the world has to offer. You never know... someones story could change your life !
