We take all of the things for granted, people who write books, people who compose music, people who share their research and findings, people who share photos from their life, people who stand up for themselves and share their opinions. Simply leave a comment, write an email and thank for the work they do, let them know your thoughts and how much you appreciate their efforts. Telling someone they inspire you powers up further creations and contributes to a better world. It takes the time to formulate these responses but it genuinely touches the creator. Next time you are touched by someone’s story, tweet, blog post, comment, photo, let them know how it made you feel, how it shaped your thinking, what thoughts it provoked, what it allowed you to experience, discover, understand. People who inspired me to believe in myself, to push a little harder, to learn something new, to go out and meet people, to stand for myself and be proud of my goals, to help others, to be kinder, to give back, to share, to create, to serve, to inspire. I wouldn’t have found design community, I wouldn’t have learned Photoshop, I wouldn’t have become a designer, I wouldn’t have become a blogger, I wouldn't have started traveling and working, I wouldn't have co-authored and self-published a book without other people. Every creative person needs feedback, whether it’s good or bad, there is this little needy “me” that wants attention and recognition.
You know what fires me up and keeps me going? Hearing the words “you inspire me.”Īll the feedback I get from people about my work and its impact on their life.
