About this Quote

This quote by Joan Armatrading talks to the idea that inspiration is something that can not be required or looked for. It is something that takes place to us, rather than something we can actively pursue. It is a spontaneous and unpredictable occurrence that can take us by surprise. It is not something that can be prepared or controlled, but rather something that we should be open to and responsive to. Motivation is something that can come from anywhere, and it is important to be knowledgeable about our environments and be open to originalities and experiences. We must want to take dangers and be open to the unexpected in order to be inspired. Motivation is something that can be discovered in the most unforeseen locations, and it is essential to be available to the possibilities.
