Staying curious keeps me inspired.
I'm a permanently curious person. I probably waste my time being curious about things that have got nothing to do with the business sometimes. What keeps me alive, certainly, is curiosity.
For me, staying in place might mean staying with my own thoughts, even if the body keeps traveling. I might be experiencing new things, but I'm also here, with myself.
The beach is still a public place, and that's an amazing grace about Chicago. We have so many problems, but the water always stays. That inspires me and keeps me inspired about the city and keeps me hopeful.
[Constant curiousity leads to happiness:] I wake up curious every day and every day I'm surprised by something. And if I can just recognize that surprise every day and say, 'Oh, that's a new thing, that's a new gift that I got today that I didn't even know about yesterday,' it keeps me going. It keeps me more than going. It keeps me enthusiastic and grateful!
I'm constantly looking for new things to do whether that's in the studio, trying to keep production fresh, or it's going out on the road. It's not the best for business. My team sometimes wants to beat me. But that's what keeps it fresh and keeps me inspired.
I think I am staying in Toronto. It keeps me grounded and I can be with my family and friends.
My podcast 'Getting Curious' keeps me really busy, which I love.
Staying busy keeps me away from being bored, which used to be a lot of my problem.
I practice self-control and staying active. Running round the kitchen keeps me moving.
Songs, and songwriting keeps me inspired, moving forward.
As long as I'm still growing as a musician, it keeps me inspired.
I think what inspires me or what keeps me inspired is my curiosity.
I struggle with staying clean every day, and what really keeps me from doing something stupid is my daughter.
Sometimes things fall in your lap and sometimes you really carve them out. I've found that songs I really like can happen both ways. I've also been trying to learn when to step away and take a break and when to keep pushing through. For me it's a delicate balance of staying inspired and staying consistent, and I'm still trying to figure it out.
People come up to me and tell me how I changed their life and I've inspired them. And they tell me their stories, and that keeps me going.
What inspires me? I am so inspired every day. I am inspired by thinkers. I am inspired by rebellion. I am inspired by children. I have been inspired by love.
