Inspiration
What does this word mean to you?  

Once in a great while I feel we all lose this spark that motivates us.  This drive that keeps us going, urges us to do well and  to be supreme.  Sometimes I look around and wonder if people have lost it or stopped caring about it?  We all hit rock bottom at some point, need a pick me up, feel lonely, feel betrayed, unwanted, unloved, pushed aside for someone else,  unmotivated, etc.  Some people let these feelings sync into a depression, some people move on.  But in my book, life isn't over.  Look around you.  There are soooo many things to be inspired by, thankful about, happy about, lifted by.  Sometimes we don't think about it, and we do dumb things.  Sometimes we put ourselves in situations we can't do anything about, but in my imagination, the best thing to ever do is believe.  Believing is inspirational.  Who wants to be a baby their whole life and whine and cry about things that just need a little jump start?

Life is NOT over.
Who do you look up to that is inspirational?  Why?  Do you feel you do a good job at being inspired?  
Do you feel motivated?  
I feel motivated by life.  My family and people I care about.  Good work inspires me.  A person who can stand tall no matter what.  A person that fights to live their life.  I don't mean fight as in fist fighting... I mean fights to live well... their driven to do their best.  I don't do my best in everything.  I am not good at everything.  All I can do is try and keep pushing myself, just like anyone else.  I start everyday new.  Everyday by putting one foot on the floor and telling myself today will be a great day.  I remember to smile and be friendly.  I remember to be thankful because being inspired will save you.  It will motivate you.  We are all inspired to believe in something... whatever that something is, is up to you.  I just hope no matter the hard times we go through... not being able to pay bills, school or job is stressful, significant other problems, that you believe.  I hope you are inspired to think positive and DO IT.
BE THANKFUL.  Hopeful. INSPIRED!
