find something divinely touched.

for this step, i use a loose definition of “divine” … you don’t have to be religious to find divinity in something. when mozart wrote a symphony, or jobs created the macbook air, or a stranger smiles at you, there is divinity in that. there’s divinity in a sunset, in every living thing (why i’m a vegan), in a cool breeze on a humid day.

you just need to recognize the inspiration, in whatever form it comes.

here are my greatest sources of inspiration:
people doing great things.
things of great beauty.
nature.
music.
the written word: books, magazines, blogs.
people in your life.
love, in any form.
yourself, doing anything good, no matter how tiny...
