to be the person you are today? Is it a Friend, a coworker, close friend, Pastor, who? Have you ever thought of where you might be without them in your life?
I know personally for me, a lot of my Inspiration comes from some of the Close friends I have made in the Church I attend now. I have gone thru a lot of hardships in my life, and I know if I am feeling down, or just having a Bad time due to Health, etc. these are people I can count on.
2 of the women are like a Second Mom to me, and always are there to offer words of encouragement, Strength, Prayer, etc. when I need it. I just know when I think of these 2 I know I would be lost without them in my life, and would not want to think about where I would be without them.

I had been a better and more stonger person when I had my own family and when I gave birth to my kids. It made me a complete person. My children are my sources of inspiration and they would always be. Their smiles, their laughters and every little thing that they do gives me strength. They are my treasures.

The one thing that inspires me to be the person I am today is a close friend of mine. She has been there threw thick and thin and has never left my side. I wouldn't know where I might be without her in my life. I'd be lost without her. I'm so blessed that I have her in my life.

I have an inspiring friend who has done a lot of good things for many people, and raised great kids, in spite of a serious mental health disorder. I tell people she is my hero. My brother inspires me as well. He is a pastor of a small church, and also works for the state of Oklahoma. He reminds me a lot of Dr. Phil. I am awed by my wonderful daughter, and pleased that she is mine. She is dedicated to doing and being what God wants. I love what my son means in my life, and his quirkiness. He is kind like his dad was, and that is something to live up to. I am not always kind. I am really blessed to have all of these people in my life.

Kindness in others. Sucesses of others. My own successes and achievements.
These would be the things that keep life worth living while we are stuck here until the end time. Too often hard to find unless you find people to surround yourself with that offers these things in exchange of your good friendship.

My grandfather,
He's the reason I am the way I am. Very caring, I always thought he was too caring but I can actually see why he was that way.

I think I would have to say my mom, she has been there every step of the way. I've cried on her shoulders many a time. I talk to her daily. She inspires me, because I am the oldest of seven, so I am not the only one that cries on her shoulders. She led me to know God, and now many years later I have a better understanding and relationship with God. One that wouldn't be if she hadn't of guided me in the right direction when I was young. Though I am no longer Catholic, I am a member of a Christian church. She is happy for me because I found a place that I fit in and am very involved in church. So, I would have to say it is my mom that inspires me.

It is wonderful that you and your Mom have a Relationship such as this. And to share a Relationship with God is even better.

it's good to know that you have those people to be with you in times when you're feeling down. and that they helped you bring back your self confidence again.
the people who inspire me to keep on going are my parents, siblings and my boyfriend. they are the very persons who are always there when i needed someone to push me when i am feeling low. they are the people who keep on encouraging me to move on in life. they are the persons who never failed to support me in any endeavor i wanna achieve in life. they are always there for me.
i could have been an astrayed person if it wasn't for them... lost and alone... anne

Well i would want to choose my parents as people that inspire me a lot, then i would also want to choose my best pal, who despite all odd tells me to go to hell if i am wrong and also advises me not to allow my successes get into my head if i am right. I owe him a lot
