Pick them wisely

People inspire you, or they drain you – pick them wisely.
- Hans F Hansen

Keep people in your life that...

Keep people in your life that truly love you,
motivate you, encourage you, inspire you,
enhance you and make you happy.
If you have people who do none of the above,
let them go.

People that make you better

You need to associate with people that inspire you,
people that challenge you to rise higher, people that make you better.
Don’t waste your valuable time with people that are not adding to your growth.
Your destiny is too important.
- Joel Osteen

Nothing is original...

Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration, or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery – celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said:
“It’s not where you take things from – it’s where you take them to.”
- Jim Jarmusch

What the heart can inspire

In art the hand can never execute anything higher than the heart can inspire.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

The Rules for being amazing

Risk more than is required. Learn more than is normal. Be strong. Show courage. Breathe. Excel. Love. Lead. Speak your truth. Live your values. Laugh. Cry. Innovate. Simplify. Adore mastery. Release mediocrity. Aim for genius. Stay humble. Be kinder than expected. Deliver more than is needed. Exude passion. Shatter your limits. Transcend your fears. Inspire others by your bigness. Dream big but start small. Act now. Don’t stop. Change the world.
 - Robin Sharma

If your actions inspire others

If your actions inspire others to do more, dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.
 - John Quincy Adams

Be yourself.

shine through every sentence you write,
every piece you finish.

You are inspiring

Be strong. You never know who you are inspiring.
