this is a thread where I thought I'd list some things that help me keep on going in life, even when it gets tough, and inspire me in general...

I love the begining and end of the video the most. It's about the frist person diagnoised with ALS who finished an ironman. He says at the begining, "... It doesn't interest me how old you are, I want to know if you will risk willing looking like a fool for love, for your dreams, for the adventure of being alive. I want to know I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine, and still shout at the edges of a lake, river or mountain, yes, I am warrior poet."
The Blazeman

Ok so these video clips might make you cry, or maybe you think I am weird, or think I am sappy (and yeah, I am), but the way these people faced life inspires and encourages me so much.
Never Give Up in Life - A Truly Inspirational Video

This one is of a guy who loves those in the "untouchable" caste in India. He just lives love. As someone who sometimes feels untouchable, this inspires me and touches me deeply. Such love.

This is a quick one about famous failures throughout history... that had very different endings...
Famous Failures


I think stories of people who are not perfect who are overcoming odds, living life to the fullest that they can, and loving others really encourages me and inspires me.

(Everyone here on this forum fits in that category. You all help me hang in there and keep going, you all inspire me deeply. Thank you for being you!!!)


what inspires you?
