May 2 2025 - Inspiration and Positivity

Prompt: Inspiration comes from within yourself. One has to be positive. When you're positive, good things happen." —Deep Roy

Inspiration CAN come from within oneself, in the sense that our experiences shape how we see the world. It's why three different people will write three completely different stories if given the same prompt.

But, inspiration is also found every where else as well: history, nature, music, songs, art, people watching, others' experiences - it all around us. I'm attempting the music anthology competition where you have to write stories inspired from all the songs on an album. It's a lot of fun.

I do believe that if you are positive, more good things will happen to you. It's not a hard and fast rule. Plenty of bad things happen to positive people. But, people are more inclined to do good deeds and help others out if those others are happy, friendly, and generally approachable. Positivity is also contagious. The more happy, positive people you surround yourself with the more those people are likely to do good things for you. Those people are also probably paying more attention to the things they are doing for others, than the things happening to them.
