Sources of inspiration or where the muse comes from

Where do you get sources of inspiration from? Probably, from time to time you have to hear (or ask) this, in fact, rhetorical question.

Why did I dare to call him that way?Just because, it seems to me, there is not and cannot be a definite answer to it. Of course, we are able to define the very word “inspiration”, and I will certainly do it a little later in the article, but listing the sources is rather absurd. It seems to me that if every person is unique, then this automatically means that absolutely different things can “ignite” and enthrall him.

1. Sources of inspiration or What is a muse?

Under the inspiration understand the inherent man.a special state of mind, which is characterized by: the highest emotional lift, a surge of energy and strength, and also, not least, high creative performance.

If you ask an inspired person to describeyour emotions, you can get a roughly the following answer: “This is the flow. Stormy and impetuous. He carries you so fast that any sensation of time and space is lost. It becomes very difficult to determine one’s place in this world, and it’s unrealistic to predict the future. ”

2. Sources of inspiration and their most likely signs

• Such a person, as a rule, becomes very charismatic. He acquires the ability to influence the people around him, dragging them along.
• There are unexpected insights and enlightenment.
• Thoughts become clear, full and bright, and spiritual experiences begin to simply amaze with their sharpness and depth.
• Processes as usual in the normal state asperception, memory and thinking, suddenly begin to flow at an incredible speed. Creative people, losing sleep and appetite, set to work with particular zeal and can not stop until they complete their masterpiece.

3. Sources of inspiration and their possible options.

If you delve into the history of the issue, you can find outthat once in ancient Greece, the locals considered a beautiful work of art not at all the result of human mental activity, but a gift from above. The Muses, the daughters of the ancient Greek gods Zeus and Mnemosyne, descended to Earth and inspired to create real masterpieces.

Time passed and it began to call musesspecific women who, having a special appearance, charisma or character traits, were able to provoke their men to any, including creative, feats.

What sources of inspiration can be found in the modern world? I dare to suggest my own list:

• Favorite or congenial person:beloved or beloved. Friend, relative, child, casual acquaintance. By the way, psychologists advise those who suffer from a lack of internal strength to try to communicate more often with someone from the people around them.
• Love.It is this feeling that, as we know, is capable of stirring the heart, causing a tremendous surge of vital energy, raising it to the heights of bliss. Although, oddly enough, sometimes love can cause an absolutely opposite effect. The interests of a person subject to passion, are narrowed so much that all desires are reduced to kisses, hugs and conversations with the beloved or about him.
• The world.Nature, with its stunningly bright and clear colors, presented to us in the most incredible combinations, is capable of simultaneously calming and toning. That it is a source of not only energy, but also ideas for creativity.
• Hobbies: favorite film, book, music. In the period of prolonged depression, it is not at all superfluous to visit an exhibition, a museum, an art gallery, or, say, the nearest bookstore.
• ... Suffering. Surprised? But often it is the strongest spiritual upheavals and experiences become the impetus and the reason for writing poetry, songs or music.

4. My inspiration

Being a creative and very enthusiastic person,I just can not experience strong emotions and experiences. Anything can inspire me: a passionate story told by a friend, a walk, a morning cup of invigorating coffee prepared by a loved one, a walk through a deserted autumn park, snowflakes slowly falling on a flat and smooth surface of the sea, a guitar, and stars.

Наверное, мне свойственно черпать свои жизненные forces from all possible sources simultaneously. From monotony, I just fall into a protracted depression, from which I subsequently leave a long and painful. Therefore, as soon as I begin to feel the first timid signs of the coming blues or gloom, I call a congenial person, and we go to meet new adventures and travels. I am inspired by measured Paris and rainy London, although I am not averse to take a walk, embracing, along the favorite paths of the local park.
