I was recently depressed and did not get out of the house much after I finished college because I could not find a job and had tooo many loans and debts to pay....but I turned it all around by taking a long and cheap vacation overseas and realizing that I was actually rich there....because of the currency exchange rates.....and I got so ***** motivated to work and be a good person so i can go back there every year to spend my money? Has anyone else been inspired or motivated by something in their lives which completely turned everything around for them?

After many years of working for State of Illinois, I was pretty punked out. I took a two year class at an Arboretum to become a certified naturalist. I learned the habits and identifications of plants and animals. I learned land management and prairie restoration. I learned so much about the outdoor world that it changed my whole attitude on life. When I learned in my heart how much we have forgotten about the natural forces and how we are supposed to relate to EVERYTHING , I was deeply moved and felt a different view of myself in the universe. I have since bought a 10 acre piece of property in Northern Michigan and am restoring this property to its natural state. I know that I can't do this is in my lifetime but I can try. Every new plant, tree, mushroom, bug becomes a source of fascination for me. I have never felt so different and so rewarded by living. I grow heirloom plants from varities that are becoming extinct. I never would have imagined that the sight of a plant "making it" could be so moving. It sure beats working for the State.

That's good. Many things around us are source of inspiration and motivation if we think upon.
