Whenever I come across an article about a ritzy gala or fundraiser, I save the article and pictures. It's exciting seeing pictures of folks all dressed up at an event to raise money for a good cause. I imagine myself mingling with all of the influential people and doing good works. This is my philanthropist role. I’m unable to give as generously as the people at those events, but one day I will. I love the Willy Wonka-themed gala in Boston, wherein, participants wear shades of chocolate brown. For me, inspiration always stems for a sensory experience. I'm a big proponent of assuming big roles that you're not actually doing yet. I call these placeholder roles. There's nothing wrong with taking on new exciting roles and using them as a vision for your future. I just completed a five day course about sales and marketing by Stacey Boehman and she said once you have an exciting vision for your life, show up as that future self with each new person you meet! They only know what show up as! Give yourself the role of visionary or leader. Call yourself a novelist - anything that pulls you forward.
