What inspires you?
The thing that motivates you and the thing that inspires you the same thing? What if there was one thing in life that not only motivated you, but inspired you? What would you do in order to sustain the feel that it gave you?
I think about my life and all that I had hope to accomplish so far. I find lots of inspiration, but very little motivation. And there in lies the problem. If you have something in your life that cause you to act a certain way and that mentally simulates you to create something, well, I call that living you life.
I am on a journey to discover what that is for me. Asking yourself those questions and I hope you find out what it is that does it for you as well. Once you find out what that thing is that both motivates and inspires you, then be grateful and respect the gift you have been given.
