Hello people....we all move towards varying directions, we accomplish, we may fail too. But what moves you...who or what inspires you to go on with life. Life is not always as cheerful as it can be, but no matter what situation we may be, we move on and pursue this wonderful life. I see life as truly beautiful...this is such a wonderful experience. We make mistakes but we are always given more than second chances sometimes. Tell me what your inspirations are....

Unpinoy, what inspires me are the variety of excitement and challenge that I deal with everyday. I agree with you life is not always cheerful but there are wonderful and beautiful experiences that will fill in most of our needs. I love true life stories especially those past challenges in life, they were able to fight it and become the magnet of what they desire in life. I also want to become the magnet of my desires and share the big venture to all. It's wonderful to past up a very bad coondition or venture in life. I t

Let me add.
My dreams continually inspires me. The excitement when I am getting results and the challenges gives me more the energy. I always think of the adventures of great people like Abraham Lincoln, Henry Ford, Liz Murray, and many more.. They didn't stop on the challenge but have seen it as opportunities for more. They continue to become my inspiration.
Spread the love! Enjoy life!

hi jeanniemay! i must say that you already are a magnet. the words you have shared are contagious. inspirations from great personalities who, throughout their lives remained unperturbed by the daily challenges to reach their goals, and more so creating impact of great magnitude....their works inspired the whole world. their accomplishments are not based on selfish motives but for the greater good, aimed to to be shared with humanity. sometimes, the way you lead your life as inspired by these people, becomes as an inspiration to others especially those around you, without you realizing it. we continue to inspire others as we inspire ourselves. i wish you all the best. and certainly, the the Good Lord knows your heart, He shall grant you the desires of your heart. take care, perry

Yes, teachers can be truly inspirational. They worked hard to set examples especially to the young people. And they are serious at it, they do their best to live by their examples. I am glad you found one good teacher whose memory inspires you to become that better person. Thanks for sharing....take care, perry

I think that the desire to make my family proud of me is my biggest inspiration. Failure happens, but I keep on trying despite it. I don't know where it came from, but I keep the phrase in my head, "Tommorow will be better", when I'm having a bad day.

Thank you for your thoughful words! Now, I will have others to add to the ones that stay with me. Sometimes clinging to certain phrases makes all the difference in the world! "On good days, remember the bad days...and on bad days, remember the good days." I will keep these, if it's okay with you!

We survive the challenges of life, we make ourselves stronger, we find ways to equip our person to face life's obstacles, in the end to achieve our goals....we do this because of our families. As we go out to the world, we are standing firm because w know that our families are at our backs, ready to catch us when we fall, and help us stand up again. God is so good, we can into this world alone but, there is a home, a family already ready to welcome us. Isn't that wonderful.
"Tomorrow will be better." Yes, my friend, tomorrow will always be better. One of the greatest books ever written, relates to this...it says, something like this, "On good days, remember the bad days...and on bad days, remember the good days." This simply speaks of life's realities, we are a live that is why things fluctuate, like we are breathing. The phrase reminds us everything is balanced and can be balanced.
Stay happy, and remain inspired....take care, perry

hi roni! truly, kids bring so much happiness....giving us all the inspiration to work towards our dreams that we share with them. children give us the recharging when we go "low bat", the surge of energy just to see them smile, it is a wonderful experience. you may be single again for now but the Good Lord has bestowed upon you such four wonderful gifts...your children. take care, i wish you all the happiness in your family. god bless you, perry

My first inspiration is God, most of the time I neglect Him. I do mistakes and sinned against His preaching, but He never give up on me. His love gives tremendous chance for me to start all over again. My second inspiration is my mom, she's a wonderful person, having her gives me strength to continue in my journey.

Above everything else in this whole wide world....it is the Good Lord who continues to give us the inspiration to face life....stronger each day. I remember Matthew's gospel, "Man of little faith, why do you doubt?"....it is at this point that Peter feared he might drown, and at this point Jesus was already holding him. True we make mistakes, but our Creator clings on to us....continuously, beneficent, merciful.....
Certainly, our families, mother, father, brother, sister, God placed them with us so we have someone to cling on to physically....but truth of the matter, they are God's representation of His love to each and one of us. Thanks for sharing my friend, take care, perry

Hi unpinoy... Actually, I am inspired by so many people in my lifetime that I am very thankful because they molded me to be a not perfect but a good person. For start, with all their sacrifices and mistakes in life, my parents inspired me to be strong, to have convictions. My brother drives me to be humble, patient and kind. My husband and my two boys are always inspiring me to love and to strive for the best in life. hope this works for you...

I was inspired by a lot of people, not individually but as a whole, when I realized that those people who were successful did not sit on their behinds and gaze at the stars. They sat down and worked.
I was also taught by my maternal grandmother who quoted that Ben Franklin saying (even though she was from England) that "God helps those who help themselves" and that made me determine that I cannot get anywhere by sitting on my laurels and that even though God has given me faith, I cannot just let it just dissipate.

that is indeed true....we work, seeing people work towards achieving their goals is truly inspiring. a lot of people dream (and dream big) but have remained in the dreamland, for no effort has gone out of their hands. the good Lord knows the true workers, and that He has prepared the harvest for the true workers. people must not be jealous, as the tendency is, of the people who seem to be successful but have done it in some irresponsible way, ungodly I should say...because requital is at hand.

Hello there. My grandmother inspires me the most. She is a great woman. She is also very caring. Though she was very firm with me when I was younger, i know it's for my own good. Being the eldest among all her grandchildren, she has higher expectations of me as I have to be a good role model to my younger brother and younger cousins.
Even though my grandmother did not receive much education when she was younger, she is a very intelligent woman. She is also a very strong woman. I love my grandmother.
My grandmother inspires me to be the best I can be.

well hello. that is great! GOd is good! Children especially our own are truly inspiring, i would not really be able to comprehend the bond that exist between mothers and children. You as their mother has been there from day 1, you watch them grow, giving you so much joy and inspiration. In time, they become adults, the things that you have shown and given your 3LilAngels will now be carried on. Thanks for you lovely sharing. take care always my friend, perry

The intuition is my best answer for your question. As I always on for good hopes in my daily life. Wake up from my sleep in early morning and my heart says, pray for good hopes. It is not my practice, actually. But it just like a 'build-in' device in my heart.
So it really inspires me to do work better in my daily life. I hope it last long this way in my life as I like it very much. It soothe my mind even though many problems still in progress towards solution finding.

I have always been inspired by this writing on a bench from an anonymous poet " Whatever you keep in your heart is yours, it will never die"....indeed, the dictates of the heart give meaning to our lives, that hope is alive, and we in our deepest pushes to keep the hope alive as we face our daily existence. Good hopes indeed will produce good results. My prayers for you....take care, perry
