what inspires me is of people from all walks of life overcoming such difficult hurdles in their lives to get to where they are today.
also, people who have been told they are never going to achieve anything, that they are useless, worthless, in that they'll never be anything in life- only to surpass their expectations and their own.
i have so much respect for them seeing as they have gone ahead with their decisions for their sake and not anyone elses and made the most out of it and as best they can.
alas, this could be anything and anyone ranging from celebrities you idolise and have respect for to your members of your family, divine intervention, teachers or tutors, or perhaps it is something you witnessed yourselves that really impressed you and made you realise how grateful they are to the rest of us. also state if you can why they deserve such admiration and praise, especially from yourself. i am looking forward to reading your comments and experiences on this

The way i grew up... i had a sick Mother that wasn't able to take care of me and my Siblings... we all was pushed around from Family member to Family Member so one day we all ended up in foster care together and had to endure some pretty hard times... but what was most difficult for me was when they adopted my 2 younger siblings out and i was left behind... it felt like no one loved me and i was to old to be in a real Family.... (to make a long story short) i found my bro and sister after 25 years of searching but i also had cancer and was raped at Age 15 and I'm diabetic now and have High Blood pressure and cholesterol... but i swore to myself that I'll be a better Person when i grow up and i have about 200 kids calling me Mom and i help when i can... i currently have a Young Mother staying with me and my Husband that is trying to get on her Feet and i want her to know that someone does care about her ....

My faith. I know you don't want to hear that but you did ask the question. My belief that God thinks I am worth the life of His Son, and that there is an afterlife, is what keeps me going. If I didn't firmly believe in that, I wouldn't bother. He saved my life more than once. You probably will discount this, but it's true just the same.

I have met or been aware of many people who behave in ways that I admire and would aspire to. Mother Teresa, Hudson Taylor, George Mueller (not sure of the spelling), for example, I would find impossible to emulate completely, but I'm sure they have influenced me. They were wonderful people of God trying to improve life for thousands. And of course, there's the Lord Jesus Christ, who is revered in both my own Christian faith and that of Muslims, and who sets an impossible example to follow , but I keep trying.
I thank God for them all.

I think, therefore I am.
My primary inspiration is that I am a self-aware being and realise that my capabilities are far greater than what is known to me therefore it is the duty bestowed upon every self-aware creature by our Creator to be everything we can.
Live a FULL and GOOD life

My fiance, and i'm not just saying that. He makes me want to be everything i thought i could never be. He's my soul mate. And of course my mother, the strongest woman i've ever met in my life. There's no one else like her on this planet.

My baby daughter. I am usually selfish, immature, and lacking manners. I don't want my daughter growing up like that. I want to raise my daughter to have self esteem, be smart and have common sense. Best way to do that is lead by example.
Inspired by money? That is so sad.

My little boy inspires me to be a better person. I also have new perspectives on life and priorities.
