Notice what inspires you.
Be aware of your response to life.
Be present in the moment.
Listen to your small voice.
Write down things that inspire you. Keep a list.
Give yourself permission to revisit those things/experiences that inspire you.
You never know where that one action base on slowing down and paying attention will lead you.
I recently did this and found inspiration from watching documentaries/biographies of artists.
One of the most recent documentaries I saw was about the life and works of Keith Haring.
I love his style. Many elements of what he created are primitive/minimal.
They open my eyes to want to find more art of that style.
I look at web sites that featured Hawaiian petroglyphs.
I then read a wonderful book called “Color: The Natural History of Pallette”
This book has a chapter on the influence that Ocher had on Aborigines in Australia.
I then looked for examples of Aboriginal art on the web.
My jaw dropped when I found web sites that feature a wide variety of art by Aborigines.
It was an art form that spoke to me in a language I did not know I knew.

This is just one small example of a zig-zag journey, a step-by-step journey into the unknown.
A journey to find my passion.
A journey that started with listening to and noticing what inspires me and having the trust to follow that voice.
