Today I`m gonna talk to you about a very important part of our everyday life which is called inspiration. Surprised that I call it an everyday thing? Well, you may not notice it but each of us, from a small child, painting a picture in a kindergarten to a successful businesswoman who runs her own company, is in need of this phenomenon. In this post, I`ll tell you how to get inspired, the most popular ways to do it and even talk to a big Instagram blogger. Okay, chaps, let`s get started.
We all know what inspiration is, right? But the funny point is that everyone puts his own sense into this word since it`s very personal. Let`s have a look at what Wikipedia has to say on this matter: 'Inspiration - the act of influencing or suggesting opinions.' Well, a bit complicated but yes. We`re usually inspired by someone or something that has a strong impact on us, our mood and productivity.

Without a doubt, you can be inspired by literally every single thing in this world. It can be nature, time of the year, a person, an animal, someone`s art, style or way of speaking, and this list is honestly endless. Sometimes it gets really weird. For example, I had a tree, an old and beautiful maple, as an object of admiration in my childhood. Unfortunately, it was cut off several years ago so I cannot show you this natural wonder.
To prove the variety of inspirational sources I asked lots of people about things they`re inspired by. The most popular answer was music, the range was from vintage vinyl records to Danish post-punk music. I`ll show you some other answers below including some inspiring suggestions from me personally:
- books ('Pride & Prejudice' by Jane Austin)
- cinema festivals
- adventures (go buy a ticket with a friend to another country, let yourself be spontaneous)
- traveling (Prague, Kyiv, and Stockholm are just magical)
- aesthetic things (go on Pinterest and have fun looking at all these artistic things)
- VSFS Fashion Show
- video games
- films ('The Devil Wears Prada' is an evergreen masterpiece)
- choreographic performances
- communication with different people
- hitchhiking (because what can be better than a mountain view?)
- and just even making other people smile
As you see, so many people, so many minds...
The point is that you definitely should find an object to admire as it turns out to be pretty useful. While surfing the net, you`re sure to find countless articles, videos, our favorite TEDTalks about inspiration and motivation as a concept of a successful and happy life. The easiest way to stay creative is to find your role model. You may like this person for his/her singing, dancing, speaking, behaving, literally anything. From my experience, it helps you to broaden your outlook, set new priorities in life and even to some extent change yourself. As soon as you find this person you`ll feel a wave of energy and creativity.
For me, it was Taylor Swift, an American singer, and songwriter. Her speeches, as well as lyrics, always made me believe in myself. Her fashion style influenced me and helped to understand which fashion direction I should go forward to. Another person was Karlie Kloss, an American model, and activist. This girl literally ruined the word 'stereotype' for me. She`s a tall, beautiful, blonde supermodel who loves cooking, reading, traveling, has her YouTube channel, and... is in love with computer programming! I always look up to these 2 women as it helps me to stay determined and see my life goals clearly.
As for me, 21 century made it really easy to stay inspired. We have dozens of social webs (not mentioning our beloved YouTube) where we can find a huge variety of beautiful photos, landscapes, my favorite quotes and, of course, amazing bloggers from all over the world! These people are not necessarily your role models but they are sure to immerse you into the world of art and fantasy. Someone likes fashion, make-up and beauty bloggers, someone prefers looking at picturesque views on his/her homepage, it fully depends on a taste. Just think about what you like or where you`d like to travel and subscribe to this blogger.
As we see, inspiration is far from being a constant thing. Even creative people who get lots of support from others can lack inspiration, desire to do something or simply don`t have time on it. But here's the thing. You can (and you should) be inspired by yourself! As far as I`m concerned, it`s the best way not only to creativity but to self-development as well. Just compare yourself to the version of you, say, a year ago. Look how far you`ve come, how many amazing things you`ve accomplished and how much of precious experience you`ve gained. Doesn`t it inspire to become even better every day and always stay open for new opportunities? You can become your own role model. And, honestly, I can`t imagine a better state of things than this.
So, to sum it up, guys. Always stay inspired and creative. No matter what. Do not let anything or anyone make you doubt yourself or your belief in yourself. Note to yourself: look around because there are so many things, sometimes very small ones, that can make you inspired. And, on the top of that, always remember that you are your best and evergreen source of inspiration.
