A short & sweet post about inspiration, inspired by my talented friend Tim Walker in Austin, Texas (love his blog description: Brutal honesty, kindly delivered from a working writer in the corporate world.)
Tim shared the Inspiration Above His Desk and asked his readers what they kept in view of their desk for inspiration. Here goes…
Here’s the immediate view from my desk. Those above-the-door prompts are quite possibly the most important words I read all day. Breathe. Exhale. It’s amazing what those two actions can do to calm a frantic mind. The red wall showcases our agency’s values - and I love the snippets framed by my entry – Fun, Delivering & Perseverance.
I adore Nikki McClure. The talent she embodies in being able to create these pieces (intricate paper cutting using an xacto knife) is amazing in itself. But the clean, clear simplicity of what her pieces say is why they adorn my wall.
You might say I have some anger issues. Or maybe it’s just unrestrained enthusiasm. Either way, speed bags in the office are always a good idea.
Next two images are from my favorite image-a-day-inspiration-sources.
This Focus gem from Behavior Gap’s Carl Richards...
…and this validation from Gaping Void’s Hugh MacLeod that I’m not alone.
And finally, front and center on my bookshelf, a gentle reminder that all things are possible.
