Every creative person needs feedback, whether it’s good or bad, there is this little needy “me” that wants attention and recognition. Telling someone they inspire you powers up further creations and contributes to a better world. Here’s how. Tell someone you inspire them.
Speak Up
Next time you are touched by someone’s story, tweet, blog post, comment, photo, let them know how it made you feel, how it shaped your thinking, what thoughts it provoked, what it allowed you to experience, discover, understand. Tell them you hope they inspire you.
