You can find inspiration in many places. It is likely to come when you least expect it. Always try to be prepared to jot down or record ideas.

I enjoyed your quote

The most important thing to realize is that the music has to come from within, but the inspiration can come from anywhere. Don’t expect inspiration to hit you at a particular place or time. Inspiration is all around us. It could come at work, or at play. It could come in your dreams, or as you are driving down the road.

It recently made my weekly top 100 quote list, and it is currently in the top 20. Good job!

Depression is a strong emotion, and is a great means of inspiration to many of us. Many of us do our best work when our emotions lead the way.
Thanks for R/R/C!

I found that my work in art and poetry reached its peak when I was depressed - and still continues to be my best work. When I started mountain biking regularly and riding long distances on the road, my creative juices just dried up, don't know why...I have a strange theory that perhaps rigorous physical activity drains the brain...who knows?

l always wondered where Ric Ocasek got his lyrics: "all i need is you tonight - i'm flying like a cement kite -in your headlock on the floor - who could ever ask for more"

loved your article, thank you!
