The first key to inspiration is enjoyment. It would take a spiritual master to get inspired about doing the dishes. So find something that really excites you. It can be anything that you really enjoy. 2. The second key is love. When you are actively pouring love into what you are doing, this will guarantee that you are opening yourself to experiencing more inspiration. 3. The third key is to trust yourself. Listen to that little voice inside yourself and know that this comes from heart. This is called intuition. 4. The fourth key is to follow what your intuition tells you.
