Nation Inspiration

I have been on an Inspiration Mission.

Feeling inspired, finding inspiration and hopefully inspiring others at times.

I have been inspired to make changes in my life.

My husband and I have recently been inspired to make a tree change.
Yep, we want to rent out our beach side home, to enable a move onto acreage, with space and trees and fresh air.
If you had told me this a year ago, I would have laughed, and told you that I am an urban girl through and through.
But lately I have taken up hiking and being in the beautiful nature of our local hinterland rainforest has inspired me.
Our children have just turned 8 and 9 years old, and before they morph into teenagers wanting to be in the hub of it all, near the shopping centre’s, beach and friends we want give them the chance to climb and run, have chickens, ride motorbikes and explore.

I have been inspired to change my career, at the age of 41. I am not only inspired, but I am full of excitement and passion about my new chosen field, which I will begin studying later in the year…watch this space!

I have even cut off my hair recently, inspired by change, being able to let go of the old and embracing the new...

I have been inspired by a friend who just recently told me she has been writing a book, and is now in the process of self-publishing. Wow!

I am inspired with the conversations I have weekly with Roger who is treating my back. When we have like minded conversation with like minded people, talking of inspirational outlooks, we walk away with more air in our spine, like we are on tippy toes, and a big smile plastered on our souls.

My kids mastering skateboarding is inspirational, the look of determination on their faces, the commitment to getting back on after falling off and to keep on practicing…and the fact that one of us takes them to the local skate park most days, could be considered inspirational too!

My friends who are working mothers, and keeping it all together, raising happy kids, feeding them healthy (most of the time!) meals and running a home are an inspiration to all.

I am choosing books that I know will inspire me, about remarkable people and remarkable concepts.

I search out inspirational quotes, to remind me that a positive outlook on life will inspire a positive life.

Men inspire me. Men who treat women, children and themselves with dignity. Men, who are unafraid to love, care for and be a hands on family member.

Our children’s teachers, day care minders and sports coaches inspire me.

People who share what their knowledge and experience in the hope it will inspire and help others, truly inspire me!

Successful people inspire me; because I know they have had to be focused, positive, passionate and inspired to achieve what they have.

I am even more inspired by the ones who are doing it tough, doing everything they can, with what they have and focusing on keeping it optimistic, knowing that if they do this, everything will turn out okay!

Inspiration is every where, I look for it, read about it and see it- because I know that if I continually feel inspired, I will continue to grow and move forward, attaining all the things I want in my life.

My beautiful life.
