This post brought to you by the letter “I”, Inspiration

So what inspires you?  What gives you that drive to get up everyday and do it again?  Inspiration can come from a variety of sources:

• an idea that pops in your head
• a comment someone says
• a dream you may have had about something
• something you read about
• you might smell something and it gives you thought
• a song can be inspiring
• witnessing a selfless act
• someone with adversity conquering everyday battles

Where-ever the inspiration comes from, its up to you to decide how it affects you and what to do with it.  Will it give you reason to conquer something in your own life that has been troubling you, will it give you reason to do something nice for someone that might need your help, will it give you that spark to write that book you have always wanted to write, no matter what it is, use it for what it gives you.  I might suggest keeping a journal of what inspires you, and finding ways to let that enhance choices you make.

So what inspires me?

• My wonderful friend and companion, someone I couldn’t do any of this without, my wife.
• My mother inspired me to be the best person I can be, and to be who I wanted to be!
• The song “Step by Step” by Whitney Houston, just something about it can raise your spirits.
• Soldiers who are fighting for us and our protection every day, I say this because I am a veteran and proud to have done the same.
• Seeing this site be all that it can be, for someone to actually want to come here, for someone to enjoy what I have to share.
• Continuing to win prizes in the contests I enter!

So what inspires you?  What makes it possible to do certain things?  Would love to know.  As always, thank you for reading, and have a great day!  Tom.
