I have a very interesting question. Has there been any individual in your life who really motivated you to accomplish something. I want to understand how this happens. What kind of people can motivate us. How do they do so. do they make us like the task that needs to be done. or is there something in there personality such as optimism, kindness, credibility. or do they convince us by making us feel good about ourselves. Can any of you explain and give an example of their personal experience.

My dad was my greatest source of inspiration because he believed in me and was always encouraging me to be an artist and push on. He was my biggest fan. He loved to sit on the porch with me while I painted and talk and would try to find ways to encourage me to quit everything and follow my bliss. If it werent for him, i wouldnt be doing what i am doing now or have the faith that i'm on the right path and working towards something.

It boils down to love and truly wishing happiness for another. Their joy becomes yours, tenfold.

So anyway, yeah, it's love. In it's purest form.

One person can be a huge source of inspiration. So much so that nobody else matters after that.

Brock Lesnar inspired me to start explosive weight training. He remains the most successful male celebrity born in 1977.
He is a Cancerian as well.

why Brock lesner inspired you, what was about him. I am trying to understand is it something these people have or how they make us feel about ourselves that helps inspire. Did he say something that made sense to you at personal level or was it his own credibility that inspired you?

No, he wasnt an artist himself, but his mother was. That's the side of the family I get it from.

Anything or anyone that brings a quality of resonance or joyful recognition or peaceful familiarity to my spirit/soul/psyche is inspirational to me. The source (which contains the words: our sure cure & course to SOURCE)is not limited to me. Inspiration from others merely illuminates that which already lies within us, that which is ready to be unveiled and lived.
Everyone has a spirit and is therefore able to inspire. Highly inspirational types have this innate knowing and are active in allowing their spiritual gifts to shine through. They own their gifts and encourage others to shine.
Many, many, many lovely souls here inspire me.
