Sometimes I used to think, what exactly is the inspiration? I looked in a dictionary and thesaurus and found out that inspiration is the same with a vision (which most people have), genius (hmm ... maybe only a select few of us), and also it is synonymous to influence ( Now, it really depends on personality and circumstances.) But how do you define inspiration - it is something you do, see, hear, taste or smell? Is it something that any of your five senses can perceive? It depends on the person really, the reasons why we see it and the various situations surrounding it.
And can really inspire compared with a fingerprint, different for each person. My close friend Jesse is a musician, and gets her motivation from the different sounds that we have around us. We were out walking in a rainforest once, and I brought my camera as usual. Then we came to a nearby clearing and we decided to sit awhile and enjoy the relaxing atmosphere that surrounds us. Nature really has some of the greatest and most original and best pieces of art for those of us who really takes time to notice. As for me, I began noting all the things we can use in my work ... the rough edges of stone, shape and majestic trees, the grandeur and the contours of the heavenly clouds.
But our friend Jesse just sat quietly, while listening to the gay birds chirping, the subtle rustling of the leaves and feel the cool breeze over the mountains. She actually wanted to find a way to represent everything she swallows her music so other people would also feel what we did that day. Therefore, the same feeling, different people, same atmosphere or setting, different focus, the common denominator is that we were both inspired. For an artist like me, we are asked often times when we receive the necessary inspiration for my work. So instead of my head, we can see into my heart for the answer to it.
So the best we can come up with is something that moves me as a person creates and animates me to do and prod me to do something we enjoy and love doing. About where inspiration could be found, yes, it is actually an easy one. If you want inspiration or need it that bad, look around you! It could be seen wherever you go and just open your eyes to perceive it. Inspiration can be found everywhere. The universe can always give something to you. But if you wait for it to find you like a thunderbolt, well, we suggest that you trust yourself to get you away from your sweet little thus and go and look around to find things to inspire you to that lead you into the path of your destiny.
Inspiration is precisely the thing that makes you chase your dreams. It is the blessed and exciting feeling that you get when your heart and your soul glides is moved.
