Discussions

I was having a discussion with my co-worker the other day about the things that inspire us. We came up with the usual stuff...our kids, our spouses, our families..etc. But when I went to bed that night my brain went into overdrive (as it always does when I'm trying to sleep) and I wanted to know what really inspired ME.  
 
My kids inspire me to be a good mother but without them I wouldn't be a mother. My husband inspires me to be a good wife but again without him I wouldn't be a wife. So what really inspires ME to be the person I am? I guess I have to look deep within my heart to come up with that answer.  
 
I think it goes back to your upbringing right? Your parents teach you to be kind and thoughtful. Your peers teach you to be forgiving and trustworthy. Your teachers teach you respect ( and of course your ABC's).  
 
So here is my question... What REALLY inspires you to reach for your dreams and be the person you are??
