Thank you, Flickr. |
For the first post, I have some general thoughts on inspiration. Brace yourself. It's probably not going to be what you expected.
I hope to ground you in the best way to be the best YOU. No one else in the world can be like you. Thee is something in ALL of us that makes us unique. Stop trying to copy others and achieve their dreams. Be you and be true to yourself.
I hope you enjoy these thoughts!
1. Be YOU. Stop listening to what everyone else says and celebrate your unique individuality.
2. Always put your best foot forward. Work hard at what you do and work harder than those around you. Your reward comes in your effort. It's not always about winning #1, but it's always going to be about hard work.
3. See what's around you. Explore. Enjoy. Entertain. Inspiration comes from what's inside you and if you never grow, your inspiration will stagnate. Always strive to learn and do more and watch what happens to your inspiration.

5. Never be satisfied with your craft. There is always room for improvement. Thoughts never created anything. Put your thoughts into action. Write, write, write! Once an amazing idea strikes your fancy, turn the idea into productivity.
Some great thoughts here, we are all unique it is just sometimes hard to remember this and stop comparing ourselves.
ReplyDeleteI know! It's so easy to compare who I am to what others have already accomplished. But, to the best of my ability, I am putting a stop to that. Now! No one else is like me and I want to celebrate that!
DeleteExcellent post. It's so easy to see people getting signed by agents or having book launches and think, "Why isn't that me?" But time spent on thoughts like that is pointless. Time is much better spent on striving to write the best story possible, so that one day, the dream can become reality.
ReplyDeleteLove the ink pictures!! Very cool. :)
Hey girl! How are you doing> I haven't heard from you in a while...
DeleteWay to go with the attitude:) That's my point! I want to be the best me and write the best story *I* can:)
((Hugs))
Keep learning and growing!
ReplyDeleteAlways learning and always growing...
