How do we get inspiration?
We all need to keep learning, at work & in life. We are never finished. It is so easy to stick with what we know, what is comfortable. In our own everyday lives, at a workplace. It is not everyone who jumps on a chance, who challenge herself to what is unknown. I have always felt that life is a journey that we can form to our liking, it might be a bumpy ride doing it, but happiness takes work. I vote for happiness. Working with flowers has been my passion from a very early age. As a 13 year old I heard a radio interview with a florist who just received her journeyman certificate. It inspired me. Go and get it.
As an intern at an established florist in Stockholm my first year at the Floral design school, I had a mentor who pushed me further into the idea of making this my future profession. To work with someone with a lifelong experience was very inspiring. To get to learn the do’s and don’t. To dare to learn new tricks. I kept mentors in my life.
We should never stop learning. We need to push ourself to go further, to find new ways, to follow trends and to learn and be inspired from other people around us. At work, and in our everyday lives. Find a teacher. Find a mentor. Get inspired.
I hope to hold workshops that might inspire someone else. If someone learns how to make something beautiful out of flowers, wouldn’t that make your day? Get someone inspired to go out in their garden and bring in the spring & summer to their table. To create beauty. I have just started to freelance. To work up close with another very talented designer, to learn her ways, to discuss methods & technique again inspires me. I am so happy I took these steps that will keep me on my toes, I will learn & get new inspiration!
Inspire. Breath. Learn. Grow.
