My own thoughts when I'm just going about my life, living, not really concentrating on anything. I do that lot. Ideas just appear from nothing.
My own thoughts when I'm actively thinking too. In regards to life, my writing, whatever... what I'm to do, the paths I take.
Often, the conclusions I come up with can be inspiring.
Various forms of media...
Music. The right song, the right lyric, the right mood it can guide you through anything, and spark off great ideas.
Literature. Words are powerful. Infinately so.
Movies. A good visual story can be touching, dramatic, open up ideas...
Other people,
That's a big one, their lives, their thoughts, their words. Seeing how people stand up through things you'd be unsure of. That shit's really inspiring, it puts things into perspective for me. You know, if they can... I can. Nothing's to stop me, you know?
Places
Being in a different part of the word, a certain setting, a certain time... a silent moment of contemplation and a view of serenity and stillness. Thoughts can happen in that moment that can stay with you forever.
Other times, you could be in the middle of a city, sat on a bench just watching people go about their lives. It's chaotic, yet... also poetic and limitlessly interesting if you observe and pay attention.
