So tell me, what Inspires you?

Okay so the question or the topic I proposed today has a little less to do with fashion and style even though this is a fashion blog and a little more about inspiration and what drives us to be who we are and want to become?

I thought it would be interesting to post this question on facebook and see what the responses would be. I have always been interested in knowing what inspires people to become better people, what motivates them to become the best or the greatest at what they do, but I guess my question wasn’t as popular as I thought because of the lack of response but that’s ok I am writing about it anyway lol

So what inspires me? Everything, just not one thing. It could be something someone said or something I have seen. You wouldn’t believe the simple things you’ll notice about people. A wonderful older person who can barely walk but still wants to do their own shopping and not give up that independence just yet. I’ve also seen wonderful acts of kindness. It’s amazing what you can see if you truly open your eyes every day of your life and once your heart is truly open to forgiveness how wonderful life really is. What inspires me is people who is passionate about our faith and can speak for hours on end about it like my parents. My husband who’s ideas, positivity, creativity and opinion about certain issues inspires me. I love my Deen, fashion (as most of you know), reading, learning history and what we can derive from it, different cultures and how to appreciate it for its authenticity, there are so many things I can go on for days…. I think it’s more about how the person sees things in general.

So what was some of the responses I got on facebook? Their moms, dads, wives… What it all comes down to people are inspired by the people in their lives, their loved ones who push them further to greatness, wanting them to aspire to be better people, the type of people who are willing to make a difference in this world because no small act of kindness goes unnoticed. So having those people in your lives with your faith I believe is the key to true success.
