Re: Inspiring
Strength in giving no attention to anyone too full of themselves or too insecure within themselves to really care. Strength to stand on one's own. Strength inspires me.

Re: Inspiring
^Fantastic song from a much-loved album.
Too many to mention. But I've wasted all my talents and knowledge ending up to be a failure.
Re: Inspiring
Every day is an opportunity to start new. Stop letting your past dictate your future. Life in the now and fucking do something different brother. Keep failing, but please keep learning and keeping trying new things. Failure is the best teacher.

Re: Inspiring
Yes to all of the above^
I though that routine was brilliant, more so inspiring.
It was amazing to see people leave from their shows when they crosses that racism line, it is slightly comical to think of people like Dave Chapelle, Chris Rock, Eddie Murphy - all who have crossed that border but the audience are more acceptable of their humour.

Re: Inspiring
I'm inspired by so many things, but mostly I'd say strength, gratitude, change (something new), differences (anything different or not thought of before), those are the things that spark me the most.
On Saturday, we received a little note from one of our sponsored children in West Africa. It was just a short thank you for some miniscule money we went for his birthday. He said he got a new suit and a new pair of shoes with it and hoped we will like that and that he hopes to hear from us soon. It was just the sweetest, cutest thing to get in the mail. And the feeling I get immediately is being inspired to send more & do more, not to receive thanks (they don't have to say anything, I'd still do it), but just for the feeling of helping them. Last month, our other sponsored child there sent us a picture of himself holding a picture I'd sent him of our kids. He had that in one hand, a little notepad in his other hand, and a huge smile on his face. His letter said he was most excited about our picture. I can't even describe how inspired I felt seeing a pic of how happy he was.
I'm inspired by my friends who always have something new to show me or to think of differently -- and it can be anything really. Lately, I've been referring some of my friends to the little books Don Miguel Ruiz wrote, just for some new positive thoughts/perspectives, which I think everyone could use now & then. I can't always do what he advises, I don't think anyone really can, but it's just inspiring to try do better at least. I have the whole series, you've probably heard of the Four Agreements, but another one of them is below.
I also find those who let people just be who they are, whatever they're feeling at any given moment, inspiring. I guess I was told what/how to feel a lot as a kid and that just doesn't work, doesn't feel good & doesn't promote growth. Later, I started meeting people who said "You feel what you feel, it's never right or wrong, but always valid." and those kinds of people have helped me endure a lot. That 'lack of resistance' is inspiring to me because I find life challenging enough without bumping into controlling personalities.
well, my cat is literally purring on my keyboard & there's prob too much here for trolls, but who cares. :roll: :D

That's just great to read, thanks for sharing, i know you would probably have rather kept it private, but it is one of those things that when you read, or rather, when "I" read, I just kind of feel my whole aura relax. "When you help someone somewhere, you help everyone everywhere." :) so true

Re: Inspiring
Comebacks have always inspired me specially in sports, one recent one was Peyton manning making a comeback after a nasty injury near the end of his career and being relegated from the colts. He got to play the Super Bowl with the broncos and his performance was outstanding throughout the whole season.
Also the power of music and what it can do to people, just like in this video.

Just a tip to people who do long posts and then edit afterwards. If I am planning on doing that I do it off the internet first and then when I have been through it and said what I want and corrected the spelling hopefully. :lol: Then I post it. Or sometimes not !! :lol:
