Inspiration through remembering.
Sometimes I find inspiration when I revisit moments from my past. I make lists in my journal or write about people or
experiences that I have almost forgotten.
Looking at family photos with an older person and asking questions about their experience is another way of mining inspiration.
Here are some categories of things that you might list in your journal:
- Satisfying moments in your life
- Times you watched someone struggle to acheive, and they did.
- People who encouraged you as a child.
- Favorite teachers, Girl Scout leaders, Sunday School teachers.
- Ways that you experienced love from a grandparent.
- Defining moments when you realized something important.
- Ways your mother or father left you a legacy.
- Documentaries you have seen of people or animals overcoming a major setback.
- Miracle moments involving new life.
- Teamwork to care for another person.
- Ways that people have honored others.
- Homemade gifts that you have received.
