She writes and shares stories because there are words at the edge of fingertips and mouths persistent to be declared, discussed and defined. Here is a gathered collection of words from both the deep and not so deep chasm that are thoughts, stories and words every gracious individual must know.

Where Do Ideas Come From?

3/4/2015

 
Where do Ideas Come From?
If you’re asking where ideas come from, then you never had an idea in your life. I always get asked how I come up with posts for this blog, where I get inspiration from and if I ever run out of ideas. People are curious of where ideas come from. Now, what I don't understand is why people are trying to dissect pure creativity. My answer is always 'if you stop asking where ideas come from or how they are born and start paying attention to the world around you, then you can form your own ideas.' 

Ideas come from everywhere, at anytime, with anyone. The best ideas come from making connections, seeing patterns, and — most of all — living and learning. Just look at life as a big web of ideas, twisting and intersecting to facilitate creation, innovation and progress. The more you live, the more you learn. The more you learn, the more you know. The more information--both in quantity and diversity--you consume, the more material you'll have for your next project or blog post. There is an abundance of potentials outside and inside of you. These potentials will fire up one day — much like neurons in the brain — to create things you’ll love and things you’ll hate; things the world will embrace.

The best way to spark more creativity is to ask more questions. Don't always be sure of everything. Be curious, travel often, go out on walks, talk to more people, listen to their stories and ask yourself a lot of questions. Challenging thought processes evoke inspiration.
