“To succeed you need to findsomething to hold on to, something to motivate you, something to inspire you.”
– Tony Dorsett

Inspiration can be an elusive quality that can’t be forced yet it can be found anywhere if you are open to it. Others think it’s a way to generate ideas, but it is more than ideas. It is being moved to put those ideas
into action.

Inspiration is about finding something that moves you into action. It breathes energy into you so you can take action on it. Its energy is contagious and it inspires action in others. We here at Maui Island Giclee are
creating this blog as a way for us to all connect to what inspires us.

In future blogs we will interview other artists to see what inspires them to keep going, to create, to connect to find meaning in our
lives.

Here are some tips to keep you
inspired:

Read something inspirational
daily – mix it up, from success stories, to blogs, to books and magazines of
all kinds.

Go outdoors – being in nature is
one of the biggest inspirations. Those of us lucky enough to live in Hawaii  have inspiring nature scenes all around us
from our beaches to our beautiful rainforests.

Get to know new people – they’ll
always expose you to new ideas or interesting things, if you’re open to it.

Find time to meditate – creating
time to sit and be silent can be more inspiring that you might think.

Work with inspiring people – find
creative, positive, and energetic people to work with.

Break your routine – take a new
route home. Go to a new coffee shop or restaurant. See things from a different
perspective.

Exercise – or at least get out
for a walk. It helps get ideas moving around and the blood to circulate.

Be Thankful- for your health,
your creative nature, your loved ones. For us here at Maui Island Giclee we are
thankful to come in contact with so many creative individuals in our business.
