When trying to come up with an idea, whether it's for an article you're trying to pitch, a school assignment, a book you want to write, or any creative endeavor, have you ever just asked yourself: What do I want to do today? Today we talk about how this seemingly simple question can not only open up an opportunity to do something totally new to you and perhaps even out of your comfort zone, but it may also bring you an abundance of inspiration for a creative project. We also chat about all the crazy things we've done in the pursuit of a story or an idea, and how some of those things have brought unexpected blessings into our lives. **This episode was sponsored by Lingoda—the #1 trusted European language school with very affordable prices.
