Finding inspiration in historical events
It's hard to find inspiration in the present, with all of the politics and scandals that dominate all of your social media feeds. Thankfully there are sources for inspiration from the past - and we're not talking about history books. We have a few more low-tech, high impact ways to get your creative juices flowing.
You don't have to constantly worry about what's going on around you when you can take a break now and then and find inspiration in some truly historical events:
-Neil Armstrong's first step on the moon
-The signing of Bill of Rights
-Steve Jobs introducing Macintosh computer
* People are finding inspiration in these moments because they were pioneers breaking new ground. They weren't following the crowd.
"That's the danger of following a trend – making something popular because it has been popular for a while."
– Julia Cameron, author and former Creative Director for Apple Inc.
Don't let the popularity of trends get in the way of your own creative process. Take inspiration from people who set out to create something new - not just what everyone else does. As Vivian Maier once said "The only trend I've seen is that it's better to be unique than to be cool".
