Where do you find inspiration? Do you have an inspirational story yourself?

I believe inspiration and happiness comes in various forms. Sometimes, I wake up and am generally happy that I woke up. And I think nothing can touch me but beauty and love. Which is the best feeling. Other times, like this afternoon after watching the movie Rudy, I find inspiration and happiness instead of it finding me. Sometimes even, I do something I'm extremely proud of and feel like I can do anything. Also, I'm into the arts. In every way, shape and form. I paint, draw, dance, photography, write, play the guitar, etc. And sometimes, while searching for inspiration when I'm stuck in a rut, I like to go on photobucket and look at beautiful pictures and free my mind. Or listen to music that inspires me. Incubus mostly.


So, my question is, where do you find inspiration or do you think inspiration finds you more then often? Do you have a story of your own you find inspiring? There's no right or wrong answer and it's a pretty broad question. Just answer with what you think is right.

Where do you find inspiration? Do you have an inspirational story yourself?
When I do good in school, it makes me feel invincible. But when I fail a test or something I feel mad guilty :(
Reply:inspiration---small things like waking up to a beautiful morning.





I kind of have an inspirational story- When I was five my house burned down that year I lived in various places until my house was rebuilt. Then the year after, I almost died in a car crash(I had to jump out of a car). And it kind of makes you appreciate life more.

A teenage girl about 17 had gone to visit some friends one evening and time passed quickly as each shared their various experiences of the past year.


She ended up staying longer than planned, and had to walk home alone. She wasn't afraid because it was a small town and she lived only a few blocks away.


As she walked along under the tall elm trees, Diane asked God to keep her safe from harm and danger.


When she reached the alley, which was a short cut to her house, she decided to take it.


However, halfway down the alley she noticed a man standing at the end as though he were waiting for her.


She became uneasy and began to pray, asking for God's protection.


Instantly a comforting feeling of quietness and security wrapped round her, she felt as though someone was walking with her.


When she reached the end of the alley, she walked right past the man and arrived home safely.


The following day, she read in the newspaper that a young girl had been raped in the same alley just twenty minutes after she had been there.


Feeling overwhelmed by this tragedy and the fact that it could have been her, she began to weep.


Thanking the Lord for her safety and to help this young woman, she decided to go to the police station.


She felt she could recognize the man, so she told them her story.


The police asked her if she would be willing to look at a lineup to see if she could identify him.


She agreed and immediately pointed out the man she had seen in the alley the night before.


When the man was told he had been identified, he immediately broke down and confessed.


The officer thanked Diane for her bravery and asked if there was anything they could do for her.


She asked if they would ask the man one question.


Diane was curious as to why he had not attacked her.


When the policeman asked him, he answered, "Because she wasn't alone. She had two tall men walking on either side of her."


Amazingly, whether you believe or not, you're never alone. Did you know that 98% of teenagers will not stand up for God?


Repost this as Love vs. Sex if you truly believe in God.





PS: God is always there in your heart and loves you no matter what.....and if you stand up 4 him he will stand up for you.


I bet 93% of the people that read this wont repost it
Reply:I find inspiration in people overcoming obstacles. They might be of extreme pain or patience. I like it when people put a lot of energy into the disadvantages they have in life and turning it around. I love stories of some of our Presidents. Like Roosevelt being crippled from polio, but he turned out to be one of our strongest leaders ever.





I kind of have an inspirational story. I was diagnosed with bipolar when I was thirteen. After going out of the hospital, I had to adapt with a mental illness which made me hallucinate and have bad depression. It got so bad, I couldn't even attend school for more than one class.





I then got better by telling myself to accept who I am. I turned my bipolar around this year. In two months, I went to all classes. By the end of four months, I got a 4.0 GPA.





What makes it better is that I also have autism (a learning disability). Music and the will for the better aided me with this.





Now I'm happily working on time equations, particle physics, and designing a space colony for a NASA contest.
Reply:Well. My dad left us. Me and my older brother are the men in the family so we are in charge of making sure that my sisters and younger brother are doing well. My mom is at work. My life is pretty hard. I am only 14 and i have a lot of pressure on me. To make things more hectic, I am going to be a father. I get my inspiration form the mistakes that i have made and that i have scene other people make. Like my fathers mistakes!
Reply:I find stories where people conquer the odds inspiring. It ranges for me from when the US beat Russia to go on and win the gold in the 1980's Olympics to kids in my own town who have survived car accidents that by all accounts should have killed them.





I personally was born with a heart defect that doctors were sure would get progressively worse and that I would need surgery, but that the surgery would be life threatening in itself. My mother had smoked during her pregnancy with me and felt terribly guilty over the whole thing. She went into a church and promised God that if I got better she would never smoke again. A few days later my heart fixed itself and my mom hasn't smoked since. My name, Gabriella, means God is my strength.





Everyday is an inspiration. We are alive, what more could be asked for?
Reply:My inspiration lies in music.





I hear a song and go "hey! That could be for the ___ scene in my story!"





Yes, I write, I started when I was 7. I had a dream that I won a contest. It was so vivid, so real, that I just HAD to write it down so I could remember it. I haven't been able to stop since. I've written stories about the 1800's (based on Little House on the Prairie), Aaron Carter, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, and right now I'm writing about Sailor Moon, Yu-gi-oh!, and Harry Potter combined.
