Would You Like Finding Inspiration in Your Daily Work and Life?
Why inspiration matters and how your lifestyle influences your inspiration
Inspiration is connected to how you live your life. It is or can be part of your lifestyle.
Creativity, finding ideas, and inspiration are not the same thing, but they are all connected. You come to them in different ways, they work and reveal themselves differently.
Finding inspiration in everyday life is always possible. Every day there are little, remarkable things happening, stuff to see, situations to notice, voices to hear, insights to learn.
“Inspiration is best thought of as a surprising interaction between your current knowledge and the information you receive from the world,” writes Scott Barry Kaufman, a scientific director of the Imagination Institute in the Positive Psychology Center at the University of Pennsylvania.
Here’s the thing: whatever line of work or phase of life we are in, we all need and want some inspiration.
Why do we want and need inspiration, in life and at work?
Humans are compelled to create and to make. We don’t leave things as they are. We want to change, improve, progress, compete, develop, grow, expand, and invent.
