What Inspires You?

People who have hit rock bottom and dug themselves out with hard work...

I think these types of stories are the most inspiring.

What inspire me is seeing myself able to inspire other i.e. trying to be the source of inspiration myself! ;-)

Cheers!

Great that you are working on this question - it is fundamental to life and business, yet so many people ignore it and chug along hating their jobs and hating life...despite the fact that it is totally within their control to change.

For me, inspiration comes from

1. Music...I get a kick out of playing, performing and teaching - in order to fund my passion I help share my inspiration and teaching with others through a blog that more than pays my way in this area (not my main business, but one that allows me to live out my passion in this area of my life)

2. Helping others change their lives - this has only become possible after some life changing occurrences in my own life back nearly 20-years ago that I can now share with others to help them get on the right track

3. I am inspired by putting myself in a position where I control my time, creative energy, emotional investment and financial return...that inspires me to lead the way each day I wake up.

I get inspired by traveling around and seeing what other people's lives are like. It gives me a huge sense of perspective and reminds me how lucky I am to have so much.

When you see people who are much less fortunate but still work their asses off, all while maintaining a good attitude on life, it really inspires me to work harder and take less for granted.

I regularly try new systems to make money.
Therefore whenever i think a particular system is more profitable and interesting,it always gives me more inspiration to work and earn more online.
So the main point is you should always try new things to do it by heart.

I am inspired by people who just keep on trying despite many failures that they face. From somewhere that I have read, Michael Jordan has missed 300 important shots but he is still able to become successful because he keep on trying. He really faces tons of failure before he is able to achieve the results that he is getting.

Actually, it was my love of gem and fossil hunting that inspired my website - and in turn, now my members inspire me. We just have a great time together - online, and as of this summer, offline, too. I'm inspired to write about some subjects, because I feel a deep interest in them and feel that it's important for others to know about them, too. By selling those products, I hope to amass enough disposable income to turn back to my favorite hobby - listed above, and produce a brick and mortar aspect or two for my rock and gem website.

If you treat everything in your life as a package with a string attached - you can start connecting those strings and making a bow that ties everything together all nice and pretty. Now you can be inspired by the pretty bow. LOL.

From the very childhood I cherished to be a person who is well-known. I have lots of plan from those days. So, I checked out other people work every time to be inspired when I feel slowness inside me.

My family inspires me the most. Especially my ever supportive wife and my cute son.

My reason WHY inspires and motivates me everyday. Family also plays a big part.

A guy called 'Tony Robbins' has done some great motivation speeches. What inspires me is the journey to the 'perfect' life (for me).

The biggest thing in IM that inspires me and pushes me to keep trying is that I know eventually it will lead to me living the totally free life that I want, not having to be at work at a certain time, traveling wherever whenever, and most of all being in total control of your own life.

I recommend for subscribing to great motivational speakers, eg: Tony Robbins, Zig Ziglar, Brian Tracy, T Harv Eker, etc... You can find them on G+, Facebook, Youtube! I always look for videos from these guys.

And also recommended to watch an inspirational movie, or read a book, there are many great stories fuel for heart.

I inspire myself. When I complete a big job, I feel so good and that inspires me to do more. My family also inspires me as well. I want to be able to do as good of a job for them as I can and so I work super hard to do so.

Inspiration is one thing and Motivation is yet another.

Inspiration as in watching children play and grow up before your very eyes, reading a biography, listening to a success story, or hearing a good message.

Motivation is having a "clear" though out "vision" in your "subconcious" of something that has yet to be manifested in the physical realm, but is very much real in your mind.

You constantly replay this over and over in your subconcious. See your subconcious does not know the difference between what is real or false and will move Heaven and Earth to manifest whatever you "play" there.

Think of your subconcious as a Movie Theater and your the only one in the entire room. You write the script, you direct, you produce and you are the lead actor. You decide what will play on the screen in front of you.

Just my take

Had to look that one up...LOL!!

Family and my desire to be something better, really helps me.

Definitely helping other people improve their lives. I think we're all here to share our love with the World in our unique and different ways. : )

What inspires me the most is stories of people starting from rock bottom and climbing sky high with their own strenght by having an IDEA!

- My family & friends inspires me a lot. But of course the people who help me maintaining my business. Because without their help, I cannot do this on my own, and without them, I’m lost. Because in my work, inspiration is a big help to give me more ideas to improve it.

Knowing that I am a child of the most High, and through his power, being given the chance to possess a body and cause change and effect in the physical realm, while realizing that all modes of experience are just a test and strengthening process.

I have to say watching my peers work and my colleagues, and watching my parents all inspire me. They have this uninhibited passion to do whatever they love.

My parents!
They are two different people.. Yet they are perfect.. They do say opposites attract.. And my parents proved it.
They inspire me because the yshowed me how in every struggle their is an answer, they taught me to smile and it will all be ok.
Inspiration doesn't always mean you DO something.. but can also just be food for your thoughts.........

Competitions, we have competitions at my office - I work at an insurance firm, where EVERYBODY is also in the same network marketing company, it kinda works out well, we all have a place to make phone calls, and train people, in the business and more.

John Frusciante. I am not kidding.

Inspiration is everywhere. Every task you perform, every book you read, every person that you interact with, every place that you visit. All you need is a sharp mind to identify!

What inspires me is seeing others succeed. Then wanting that Desire for myself. Getting up each and every day and making the changes happen in my life. Looking in the mirror and knowing that what I am doing is what I am suppose be doing and that is making me Happy. Having the desire to dream, plan, set goals and work hard to achieve them!

If i say about me then i always inspire from the books which is Hindu holy book "Bhagwat Geeta", where it teaches to do always work without expecting result. Another person which inspire me that is "Mahatma Gandhi", who fights for independence without any armor. So these both are inspire me when i am in problem
