"INSPIRE ME"

 

    “INSPIRE ME”

 

 

            Like most artists, we need a reason to be creative if we lack inspiration. Okay, I know 2021 hasn’t gotten off to a great start, and as it stands right now can only hope it will get better. In unsettled times like these, we need something to spur our creative minds into action.

            We all find ourselves in an uninspirational situation, so bad at times that we want to give up and call it quits. I know we have so many other things competing with our desire to be creative that needs our full attention.

            Let’s be honest; the coiffures are pretty low right now. Yet, that overwhelming urge to do what comes naturally to us always sways our interest back to what drives artists to do what they do.

            We look for ways to gives us the push that we need. Often a beautiful song helps, or reading a great book proves useful. If none of that works, well, I’ve called in reinforcements to help solve this issue.

            According to Lifehack @https://www.lifehack.org/articles/communication/25-simple-things-you-can-get-inspired.html, have compiled 25 ways to gain inspiration.
