inspired

Here's an idea... instead of beating myself up when I see someone who has an incredible idea or is amazingly talented, I'm going to acknowledge that they have been doing it every day!

It's not that they necessarily have some special gift from god (though that's totally possible). It's that they are putting their creative self out there every day and trying new things and living BIG. Good ideas do come from nowhere sometimes, but they come over and over when you give them the space to breathe. When you acknowledge that you are a creative being with something beautiful to share.

So raise your glass (or pint of Ben and Jerry's or whatever) to just doing it every day. Not waiting to figure it all out, or divine inspiration, or whatever is keeping you from moving forward. Just doing some small thing. Acknowledging that part of yourself. Jot down that idea. Give it air. Be beautiful.
