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.
