One of the more favorite blogs that I just love to read is the Zen Habits blog. The blog always has something on it that can inspire you. One of the more recent blog entries from the blog is about inspiration.

What actions do you take to inspire you? One of the ways I found to stay inspired is have certain items around that inspire me. Above my desk is a picture of the new Ford F150 Raptor. That picture inspires me to try harder so that I can purchase one of those and go to Moab.

The Secret to Being Insanely Creative

So what are the secrets of being insanely creative? It is not that big of a secret and you probably know the answer already.

One of the secrets is setting goals. As Zig Ziglar says "How can you hit a goal you cannot see?". Goals must be specific, have a specific time period and most of all be written down. You must have daily goals that work toward your important long range goals. Sometimes it is hard to set those goals but it is vitally important that you have them.

Another important ingrediant is your relationships. Are the people you associate with helping you achieve or they are holding you back. Often times our friends can hold us back because subconsciously they fear that if you achieve your goals either you will not need them any more or they will be something less. While it is painfull to do, you need to seek out relationships that will build you up and not take you down.

So what are you going to do to unlock your creativity?
