Love it or Hate it

I have just watched “Julie and Julia” – the film was not special but it was OK, well actually Meryll Streep’s performance was quite amazing. Even though, I don’t want to write a film review because  the actual “Julie/Julia project” was a real surprise for me. It’s quite amazing how someone’s passion developed to such a fantastic outcome – publishing a book, creating a movie, that’s really something. It just proves me that all these talks about “doing your own thing” actually work as long as you are really inspired and passionate about it.

I know that there are plenty of examples where people take an opportunity and develop it into a great success story, but usually we hear about it just as “someone’s success” and forget it not realizing that that someone could be you and me. I think it happens because we don’t know how to deal with our inspirations or just don’t know what our inspirations are.  I’ve been reading this really old research “An Anatomy of Inspiration” by Rosamond Harding (1948) and just wanted to share a paragraph were the author explains the main rules of tackling your inspirations:  

There are much more of interesting advices in this book, but the one of the key one’s is that “you have to meet you inspiration half way”, meaning you don’t have to wait for you “moment” but you have to go and explore the word in order to let your inspiration to come to you. Being inspired – Love It!!
