Struck by inspiration,
.
Have you ever been doing something on your own, sometimes just minding your own business, and suddenly an idea flashes into your head? It’s like you got struck by this idea. Maybe it’s because of the thing that you are doing, or the thing that you have been thinking about. What really matters is that the idea inspires you; you want to get up and do something right away. That’s usually how most of us meet inspiration.
.
Inspiration comes to your mind with no signal, you don’t see them coming, and you don’t know when they will come. It is one of the most important things in our life, especially when it has something to do with creativity. Because inspiration gives you ideas, it stimulates you to do something; it is the key to productivity. That’s why many people are trying their best to find inspiration; it pushes them forward.
.
However, there is no specific way of finding inspiration for you, or anyone. Everybody has their own way to be inspired, whether by other people’s thoughts or getting their own ideas. Some are inspired when they are reading; some are inspired when they are walking, listening to music, talk with people, or even be in nature. There is no one way; it depends on you.
.
Think of yourself of when was the last time that you are inspired, or what were you often doing when you got struck by ideas. And, go do that when you need inspiration.
.
You don’t need to only wait pointlessly for inspiration; you can go out and get it. You can control yourself to be inspired. Think of what were you usually doing when you get inspiration, and incorporate that activity into your work routine.
.
If you often get inspiration during a walk, try walking every day before work to get some ideas while doing so. You might not get an idea for your work every time you go for a walk, but it’s better than you don’t go out to find some at all. When an idea finally flashes into your head, it will be worth the time.
.
Inspirations don’t always have to be your own unique thought; they can be others’ ideas as well. Actually, most successful people are inspired by things that we already have, and they take them to make them better. You may read books, listen to podcasts, or talking to someone, and be inspired by their ideas. The relevant characteristic of inspiration is that it motivates you to get up and do something. Whether it’s from others or from yourself, as long as it stimulates you, it’s good that it happens.
.
Know yourself, know your inspiration. Investigate yourself on how do you usually get inspiration, when do ideas usually come up in your mind? Find that thing, the ocean of inspirations. Then, put that into your daily life. Go to the ocean every day, and take back as much as you can. Take notes, record audio, do whatever you prefer to get that idea back to your desk, to your workplace, and start working.

Inspiration doesn’t always depend on luck; you can control it
