aspire to inspire

To inspire. What does it mean to do such a thing? it can mean anything from someone planting the slightest idea in your mind, or someone who infuences you in a major way. One doesnt have to be amazing in order to inspire. it can be as simple as teaching someone a dance move so they can do it at the next big wedding or party. it can possibly be a person telling a story on how they volunteered somewhere and helped save a family. it can be someone you dont know walking down the street in an amazing outfit that you wish you had guts to wear. how ever you are inspired, when you get that feeling, its all the same. its like a mini epiphany. its like a small enlightenment. and that inspiration turns into an idea which turns into actions, which turns into something amazing. Steven Spielburg didnt become amazing through his own thoughts. he was inspired by the things around him, much like many other artists and so on. but when one doenst have inspiration, and is forced into a situation, its quite possibly the most frustrating thing ever.
i went to the fabric store today because something came over me to start my clothing line back up. so i went and i had no idea what i was going to get. it wasnt like project runway where i was gonna go straight to what i wanted. i didnt know what i wanted. so i just looked around. and looked some more. and even more. its not that i was uninspired, it was just that i was unprepared. i didnt have the slightest idea of what i wanted. it was so frustrating. i tried picking out fabrics that went together. but i would second guess myself. so i finally settled for brown fabric and a piece of lace. i wasnt happy but i wasnt about to leave with nothing. when i got home, i didnt know what to do with myself. probably the most frustrating 60 minutes of my life. so i went to eat and watch some you-tube videos. boy did that give me great ideas. even though they're the very basic how-to videos, i still learned so many tricks. i loved it. there is no shame in looking back. Denzel Washington still takes Acting classes, so why cant we learn more? im so glad i did. so i ran to my room, and six hours later, i came out with a cardigan! it was a pretty awesome experience.
bottom line is, you cant go through life thinking you can pull stuff and not think to the future first. in order to make decisions, always think about how it will affect you in the future. plan something out, sketch out a design before you pick the fabric. its not easy doing it the other way around, lemme tell you. i mean that figuratively and literally. and lastly, if you are put in a weird position, just roll with the punches. just go with it. dont sit there in grief and regrets. make the best of every situation. i cant stress that enough.
some things are ment to be, but it doesnt mean that it has to suck!
stay true to yourselves, follow even your wildest dreams, and smile at yourself in the mirror.
peace
