Interests and areas to explore further can come from reflecting on your life, the lives of others, as well as from looking out into the world around you. List out a few things that inspire you. Start with the W’s: who inspires you (people), what inspires you (things), when where you inspired (experiences), and where have you been inspired (places). List as many as come to your mind in this worksheet.

Based on inspiration from your worksheet, now create a visual inspiration board. This might take the form of a collage, sketches, or if you prefer to do it digitally, a Pinterest board, Instagram story, or collection of photos.

Turning inspiration into action comes from understanding why you feel inspired by something. Pick one piece of inspiration that you’re excited about. Ask yourself:

• What do you admire about it?
  
• What could you learn from it?
  
• What interest or skill does this make me want to learn more about?
  

When you examine why certain people, places, things, or experiences inspire you, you can uncover new interests to explore. Read through your previous reflection in Step 3 and select 2-3 new interests you want to learn more about. You can return to your inspiration board and repeat this process whenever you are searching for new areas to explore or wondering what undiscovered interests you might have.
