I had made a post of in which some had quoted what they all felt was that something that inspired them. What inspires me, is really hard to place a handle on. Inspiration is truly that beginning within the morning when I rise and the day lays ahead for me. It's really as simple as that. I love to just get up early within each morning and sip my coffee and just listen to those to the stillness. As well, I will go further to say that people inspire me, they do. I find that some people within my life online or otherwise have and are very inspirational. Just now I logged on and for the first time one person open up his blog and wrote a story which was something that had happened to him and I would have never know it within an entire time that I have been on here. Inspiration is many things to each of us but it's those things that are least expected yet simple are the most inspirational. So I would have to say my inspiration is all within the array of what comes about within the day. Hence Life.
When I posted this within my notes I had a few friends from on here that wrote what were inspirational to them and why not I wish to post what they felt was inspirational to them. As inspiration comes from something and to each their very own. Here are a few post from some good friends that had the time to write within a sentence of two what inspired them as well:
- Nature, People who do the right thing no matter what.
- Music ... nature ... the very people i got connected each day of my life and the one. :)
- I'm inspired by the wind in the trees and the sound of water falling
- Sunny days. Moon filled skies. Quiet moments. The roar of the ocean. The song of a morning bird. A smile on my childs face. The laughter from a lover.
- Beach, dance, nature, cats.................:)It changes with time or circumstances along the years.
- I believe what has inspired me during the many creative adventures I have been on.. is a joy that seems to supercede the event... I feel something emerging from within... and by the time it hits my brain, I am already beginning the "joy" ride... It is another addiction, I suppose...to be able to "joy" ride ..and all it takes is a mood, a phrase, some random thought that is like a sparkler going off...and I never really know where it will end up.. after all.. I am just along for the ride.
- kindness, people, children, laughter, music, joy, giggles, friendship, beauty, sounds, chocolate, surprises, charity, strength, faith, spirit, fortitude, compassion, nature, orange, smells, touch, passion, the smell of water, the feel of the sun on my skin, a great kiss, the people i love and the people that love me, the freshness of a new day and the end of a day well lived....pretty much, everything.
- The spirit of love from one person to another...
The kind regard of people and compassion for others...
They are 2 things I thought of on the spot - ..... Life ....
- The Revelation of Arès
- Beautiful words - could be poetry , could be a song or could be a quote ...words are my inspiration
- Witnessing random acts of kindness .... there are in fact so many kind people in this world ... that's a huge inspiration
- Waking up to another day...taking the bad and making something good out of it...
- It depends on the moment at hand *smile*
- Everything around and inside of me... right now I'm reading "Live Life like a Fruit Fly" by Gabe Berman. inspiring, with a sense of humor
- In one word, MUSIC! It's simply amazing to hear a piece of music and be moved to feel such a wonderful range of emotions!
- My girls, inspire me to do more, to give them the tools they need to be all they can be!
I am inspired by words, the sun, sea, beauty, not beautiful things, just beauty, even in its ugliest state. I am inspired by people, who go that extra mile. Inspiration come in many shapes and forms, from one word, to a smile on the face. - Simply put ... Everything ... dependent upon my 'receiving mode' at any given time. :)

ReplyDeleteIt is amazing how universal some things that inspire people are. Many of those things mentioned seem to either inspire or relax one enough to let the mind free. Inspiration then surely follows.
ReplyDeleteI find I do my best thinking in the shower or while driving. It's very hard to take notes in both those situations, should consider a tape recorder. :D
Just was watching something on the televison...but yeah inspiration is something that I threw out there last night and I each person has something that does inspire themselves.
ReplyDeleteInsparation really helps us to do things that we deemed we can't do Jack. It is the very thing that motivates us, the simple thoughts that we still get up the morning after is enough to start the day with a smile and thankfulness and be inspired the whole day to do things. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah this was fun as inspiration does motivate us...
ReplyDeleteAll wonderful thoughts shared. Tis a good feeling. This has even inspired me. Thanks Jack! :)

ReplyDeleteI love this! The meaning is within the inspiration and the inspiration is within the meaning ... one reflects the other. :)

ReplyDeleteHaving inspiration is truly a blessing in our lives. Tomorrow I am going to learn how to swim as I don't know how too. I pray that the Lord gives me the strength to accomplish this task.
ReplyDeleteGary kudos to you, it's the first time I have ever read or knew of your story. You are an example of inspiration.
