Rarely in life are we creating something truly original. Whether we are looking to innovate, reach our goals, or simply be creative subconsciously we are inspired by creations we have seen already in our life. Oftentimes this can seem daunting or discouraging. The idea that we may have to create something truly unique and from scratch can seem unimaginably difficult, and on the other side it can seem discouraging that your ideas aren’t truly unique, but rather a new interpretation of a previous idea. 

 

In order to reach the goals we set out for ourselves we must experiment, research and develop techniques that will help us be at our very best. Only once we have the courage to take from others, use their techniques and then tweak those recipes can we truly recognize what we can possibly achieve. 

 

Finally, none of this makes any sense if we don’t document our endeavors. From daily observances about life to training techniques to our own thoughts we can begin to keep track of the breakthroughs. Most of the time brilliance is only born out of many many attempts. Continue to experiment and document what is working and what isn’t and remix and tweak until you have created a new and beautiful breakthrough that in turn will almost always inspire more to come.
