Turn back time!

Often as a “creative type” I am asked where I come up with ideas. Well that is an easy one to answer...Everywhere.

Inspiration comes from all over the place, the things we see, the things we hear, heck, even the things we smell. Inspiration may also come from deep within you. You may find it has been there the whole time. You just need to turn back time and think back to being a toddler. Ok I know if you are anything like me, you can’t think back 2 weeks ago, but try anyway. A toddler is oozing with imagination, all you need to do is watch them play and remember what its like for inspiration.

Its amazing to think that toddlers are unlimited in their thought process. Take an empty cardboard box for example, they’re not limited by what’s been done before with that box – they just look at the possibilities on how they can play with that box. Toddlers have the ability to turn that plain old cardboard box into a fort, an airplane, a mountain, a giant building, a ship, a dollhouse. They can kick it, climb on it, roll around inside of it. They don’t look at what its “actually” made for they look at it with a completely open mind. They ask themselves what could I do with this? What could this be used for? And they are not afraid to try it out and see if their ideas work.

Since we were all toddlers once, we’ve all got the potential to see all those possibilities and reignite that inspiration and imagination again. As always, if you need a hand turning that cardboard box into a spaceship give us a call.

Until next time,
