Great question, Jabber. What inspires me the most are stories of people who have lived through devastation but persevere to survive and grow, then turn their suffering and pain around to help others. Those stories always inspire courage and hope in me to do whatever it takes to make it through, and to learn all that I can along the way so that someday it might help someone else.

Hey there Jabber!
Great, thought provoking question. Got me thinking...which, I assume, was the reason for the post (grin). I'm inspired by people who are willing to take themselves on...their foibles, their fears, their "stories", if you will and create what it is that is most important to them. I'm motivated by knowing others have lived through something similar to what I've lived through or have seen and are willing to share how they used a given situation or life circumstance to move upward and forward in their lives...guess it is the "make lemonade with lemons" thing if you will.
I love reading, listening and telling stories that tell what someone learned, at a spiritual level, about being a more positive and powerful human being.

Victorious stories, like from rags to riches; or, heroic efforts; or, tales of long-suffering; or nonfictional books? All the things you mentioned above jabber inspire me, but what inspires me the most is the word of God, the words of the bible are alive to me, and by meditating on a scripture that really inspires me,I have gotten through some difficult times, and it has helped me overcome a lot.

love what youv all written so far and id agree with them all. I was thinking that i bet i change my answere to this on diffrent days so don't hold me to this one onlie i very impresed when someone showes an uncomon emotional response to a situasion they are in. i thinking about that type of stuff today, like when someone is unkind but the hurted person dose't get cross they reacte as if they know that person is being unkind becouse thers something bugging them, thats having them act that way at that moment. Or someones been muggged or violated in soome way but they don't hate the person thats mugged them, lol and not becouse they are in shock and need hospital treatment but becouse they know about the pain or drive that can be created by addiction and the need for cash etc. either becouse they have evolved and know what the storie is so go to understanding quicklie or that it comes as a result of a journey or at the end of the procsess. that type of stuff reallie moves me but certinlie impresses me, i get how hard it is to do a lot of the time so I strive to genuinlie get to that type of place myself.
