Inspiration, Where do you get it?

I've been trying to come up with a few topics for a seminar series and was struggling. Just because I might find a topic interesting does not mean that anyone else will. Then it became obvious, if I was struggling for inspiration then many others, probably, are facing the same problem.

Those who have known me for many years know that I will usually get up and pace. There is an amazing difference between the level of ideas that I can generate at a keyboard compared to when I pace. I think it is one of the reasons that I learned to enjoy giving presentations. My wife and work colleagues will often tell stories of me pacing like a caged lion.

However, I have now made another observation. A 4am this morning I managed to gain some clarity as to some future business growth strategies, and figure out what I wanted to add to my blog.

Immediately following this epiphany I recalled one of my favourite poets, Rives, and his theory about 4am being the new midnight. Check him out at http://www.ted.com/talks/view/id/148
