Be Inspired.

Be inspired. It's an amazing thing to be inspired and something that we should be searching for on a daily basis. Sometimes we search and find it. Sometimes it sneaks up on us and grabs us by the balls. Whether it be a line from a song, a line from a film, a picture, some art, a street performance, a sentence from a friend's conversation, a sentence from a stranger's conversation, whatever it is, it affects us. This Jim Jarmusch quote proves that nothing is original and that everything comes from something. Even the most unique and original idea that you can think of does not belong to one person. Andy Warhol, Michael Jackson, Jay Z, Steve Jobs, Einstein, none of these people can claim to have come up with an idea by themselves. Everything they have ever done will have been inspired by something or someone in some way or another. Picasso himself said "all art is theft" and historian Will Durant wrote, "nothing is new except arrangement". It's what you do and create with that inspiration that counts. 1% inspiration, 99% persperation.

Inspiration can change our opinion, force us to do something, drive us towards action. Feeling inspired makes you feel like you can achieve all and change the way your world and the outside world works.

This short film produced by French creative agency R+I explains where and who influence can come from, how it effects others and shapes culture.
