What's Your Inspiration?

Each one of us has things, and people, who inspire us every day. Great people inspire us because we all want to achieve greatness in our lives. Most great people are ordinary people who have set a goal and did what it took to get there. Most of us don't go that extra step to get there, but we can still appreciate those who make us take notice, and inspire us, every day.

Recently, someone told me I have beautiful hands. (I don't see it that way, I have huge hard working scarred up hands...) but those few words make me take notice, and care for my hands, a little extra lotion after a shower maybe, just from that little extra inspiration.

Sometimes finding things that inspire us to get a task done .. is no easy task. When I'm faced with a mountain of laundry, old 70's tunes inspire me to get moving, get going, get it done. When there's a pile of mail (with bills) to be gone through, something classical or new age, like Yanni, gets the task going. And, of course, 80's rock when I'm at the gym. Music is a great motivator and inspiration. Thank you to all the great musicians over the years... "you rock" !! (hehehe)

It's my belief that the best inspiration we can have, though, are the people in our lives. They give us feedback, they teach us, they help us, they laugh and cry with us. Which, in turn, makes us be good inspirations to others in our lives as well. To the many people who have come and gone in my life, to the ones currently in my life, and the ones who are still in my future: Thank you all for being a great inspiration to me!

Of course, the bigger challenge: Who will you inspire today?

Inspirational HUGS to everyone!
