Be Inspired

Good speakers inspire me.  It is not really so much their content that inspires me the most, it is usually about their skill as orators. After being inspired by a speaker I am energized to put together another speech of my own.  I like public speaking; I love the thrill of knowing that somehow I connected with the audience emotionally.

Cute old couples inspire me to be a better wife.  I watch these gray haired husbands and wives together, hearing aids, wrinkled hands, walkers and all.  When I see they are still patient, tolerant, and kind to each other after many years of marriage, I am moved deeply.  They have weathered the storms that life brought and they are still hangin’ tough. The whole scene leaves me teary eyed and sentimental and I am usually much more loving to my husband at the end of the day. 

Of course different things inspire each of us.  For some it is a walk in nature, or a good movie.  Whatever inspires you I think it is important to make time for it.  Inspiration encourages and motivates us to be better; and we all have areas where we can be better.
