“Do not quench your inspiration and your imagination; do not become the slave of your model.”
Vincent Van Gogh
Another way tennis reminds me of creativity is how the game is played. The game has a give and take. You hit the ball across the court and your opponent hits it back on your side of the court.
Creativity is a give and take. If all we do is pump out content without also consuming other creative work, our ideas will inevitably become stale.
If creativity is a furnace, experience and inspiration is the coal. By experiencing life firsthand, you will notice and be inspired by your journey. That’s why travel is so impactful — it allows you to get out of your life and experience other life outside your normal.
And by surrounding yourself with creative ideas and different ways of thinking, pieces of those ideas will inspire you to new ideas.
STAY BOLD, Keep Pursuing,
