Inspiration in all its forms

where do you get your inspiration?

some people rely on music, movies, books and public figures. others seek inspiration in nature, art, fashion or religion. the point is this: inspiration is all around you.

but more often than not, people are inspired by other people. i get inspired when i see an osprey carrying a catfish into an australian pine. i get inspired when i watch a little kid creating a piece of art with chalk on a sidewalk. but i get REALLY inspired when i hear a story about people overcoming disabilities.

this young man lifts his teammates to victory, despite his never having taken the athletic field. it was written by a good friend of mine, and he tells these stories often. expect to see his work here on a routine basis.

you never know when you are inspiring people; whether it's by helping an elderly lady put bags into her car, dropping some spare change into a salvation army kettle or jogging down the street. so it pays to keep your act together at all times (if possible).

this young man is outwardly inpirational, and i loved reading about him. i bet you will, too.
