Take a moment to update your reading list. There are so many incredible, knowledgable, and inspiring gurus out there. Here are some books that inspired me. Consider reading one a month for the next year. If not these books, then make your own list of books, one per month for the next year on any topic.

Creativity is energy. We can adjust the conditions of our environment, our time, and our mindset to ignite creative surges. We can spend more time in flow. Creative energy is sustainable and renewable.
