My 6 string guitar and piano inspire me…as does listening to music, as well as family and close friends.
Conversing with all of you on this site has helped me immensely as well.

Got to Be Honest, I Don’t Think I Follow Your Albert Einstein Quote.
I Personally Find Creativity to Be Never Ending. Inspiration Leads to Motivation. Which Leads to More Inspiration. And So On.
In a Sense, Hiding Your Sources Can Either Be Fulfilling. Or!, Damaging to Getting into a Newer Sense of Heights.
So. I Guess it Depends on The Audience.
Am I Making Any Sense (???)… . …
How would it be damaging for getting into a newer sense of heights? You mean it could kind of stunt someone?
Idk, maybe u are right. But there’s a time and place for saying things. I’m not a very strong person in some ways. And I get squashed by saying certain things, mentally and therefore in other ways too. Well that is how I feel about it.
No!,
You’re Fine.
All i Was Trying to Say is, If You Hide Your Way or Ways You Find Inspiration For Your Creativity. You May Never Find New Avenues to Unlock Some Important Sleeping Abilities You Did Not Realize You Owned. (So Newer Sense of Heights).
Which I Guess, Could Also Be Damaging if Everyone Steals All of Your Ideas. But Either or, Nothing Can Vanquish Anyone True Sense of Peace in Being Creative.
So Maybe I Needed to Be Corrected. Nothing Can Damage Anyone’s Personal Way to Be Creative.
But No Worries, You Can Say Whatcha Feel. Especially When it Comes to Art in Any Way. I’m Always Open to New Ideas… . …
Hey @anon39054230, When You Say:
Where Does Your Fountain of Inspiration Usually Flow From (???)… . …
Not sure…
I just lay down a melody and then try to write from the ‘Everyman Experience’ so that the song will resonate with the most amount of people.
That’s what I strive for at any rate, when I pen my songs.

This was my latest track I posted on this forum last week. It’s just a little instrumental on my old 6 string which I played into my daughter’s IPhone.
It has no lyrics but my girl said it reminded her of a Sunrise…so I titled it Sunrise.

I guess since I do not know the future for certain, and therefore if I will say my special secrets lol, then there is a chance I may never gain some important sleeping abilities.

meditation is the only time my guard comes down and i can feel slightly more emotions. I don’t get inspired but i feel gratitude for my family and friends. Or maybe I think I’m on guard against getting inspired. There’s not a time the voices havn’t punished me and killed my inspiration.

Actually I take that ack, I do get inspired during and after meditation. Quite often it is short lived though, due to the voices.
Hello, @DNAsaur!,
If You Don’t Mind Me Asking, How Do You Meditate?.
If Someone Had No Idea How to Begin With Starting Their First Hand at Meditation.
How Would You Explain The Steps it Takes to Overcome That Challenge (???)… . …
Hello!
Sure, I can explain how to meditate.
The type I do is shamatha which then naturally flows into vipassana.
Shamatha is a type of mediation where the aim is to focus on your breathing as it is naturally, then once you have a steady focus on the breath you might notice sounds around you or think about something or feel emotions, the aim of vipassana is to observe (vipassana means ‘clear- seeing’).
So to start of with shamatha. Take a seat either on a cushion or on a chair.
if you a sitting on a chair place your feet gently on the floor with legs uncrossed. Make sure that your back is straight and place your palms naturally on your thighs (just so that they sit nicely). tuck your chin in and look at a spot in front of you without focusing on it.
Now notice how your body feels sitting on the chair or cushion. Notice the contact you make with the cushion or chair. Begin to notice your breathing. You can station your awareness at your belly or focus on the breath coming in and going out of your nose.
You will probably find that your attention wanders to a thought rather than focusing on the breath, don’t worry. Just bring your attention gently back to your breathing. You will probably have to do this lots of times, but don’t worry. Just go back to your breath.
Eventually you will be able to focus on your breath naturally and observe your thoughts, and things around you at the same time. This can be really interesting. You may start seeing the past in a different light, or accepting something or feel gratitude for your blessings.
Best of luck!
