The Confidential Inspiration Equation for You So You Go Pro
This is how I do it. This is exactly what it is. This is exactly how you get to the top.
Body, trust me.
That’s buddy. I just asserted something: Body rhymes with Buddy.
Assume: What if there’s a better way to tell buddy? There is.
Association: Buddy = Someone’s body.
The result? Inspiration in the form of humour.
Here’s the inspiration equation I follow for any creative work which I know from now you will too:
Make an Assertion. Then Give an Assumption. Then Do the Association.
I didn’t figure this out of thin air or any other online blogs, however. I asserted something first (I forgot what and when), then assumed there will be some inspiration equation, then made the connection — unintentionally.
Seth Godin had some hand in this probably.
Inspiration is scarce?
Trust me, I’m not trustworthy.
Inspiration is making a connection. If something doesn’t connect, the first step is asserting. Asserting simply means stating something doesn’t matter whether it’s true or whether it could be true.
