Being Inspired Versus Feeling Inspired

You can set it up perfectly. The perfect time, surroundings, and tools. 

Maybe it’s overlooking the water at sunrise. Or the mountains at dusk. Or a balcony as the city bustles below. 

You’ve got your favorite brush, notebook, or coffee mug.

And nothing.

Not because you don’t want to feel inspired. You just don’t.

Until you start. 

Then you realize it’s not the sunrise, or the notebook, or the mountains.

It’s the work. It’s the act of doing. 

If you want to be inspired, start the doing.
