Where do you find Inspiration?

“If we look at the world with a love of life, the world will reveal its beauty to us.”

~Daisaku Ikeda

Where do you find inspiration? If your mind is open and your senses are focused you can find inspiration pretty much everywhere. In magazines, the crack of the sidewalk, in a single leaf, in that clunky old computer cable.....You can be inspired by things you do like walking, cooking and reading, by speaking to other people and really listening to what they are saying, by dreaming and planning ahead, by being open to beauty.  As long as you are engaged and interested you will be inspired.  Break away from the routine, do something different, meet new people, or simply pause and meditate. You might see things in a new light.
