Responding to TribeSteemup QOTW on What Inspires Me...
@TribeSteemup question -
What inspires you most?
For me it's got to be PEOPLE!
People who have done amazing things.
People who are courageous.
People who live their truth.
Those that inspire me to be all I can be - to live to my greatest potential.
For 1 year = 365 possibilities
I've been inspired by people in books like Helen Keller and the Miracle Worker - folks perservering against many odds. This inspires me to face my challenges and also perservere!
Or from people in movies which are true stories like Schindler's List, helping me to realize how much one person can actually do.
Some people who have done amazing things is a man who took it upon hi!self to reclaim and rebuild a forest making me realize it is totally possible and inspires me to do more for the environment.
Some courageous people are Mahatma Gandhi with his nonviolent civil disobedience that drew so many people to him, enabling him to make tremendous changes. And another who followed Gandhi's philosophy of nonviolent civil disobedience is Martin Luther King Jr. - such an inspiration with his vision of a society where race didn't make a difference for how folks were treated.
And Gautama Buddha who was born as Siddhartha Gautama, a prince who left that all behind to find the truth and upon finding that truth about life and it's suffering, the cause of that suffering and the the cessation of suffering, being very compassionate he went on to teach others the way out of suffering. This I find very inspiring. Inspired to be more compassionate, inspired not to be so attached to my worldly goods and to have more meaning in my life.
It is all sorts of people who most inspire me but it is also nature with it's vast beauty, the patterns and intricacies plus it's resilience. There is so many lessons to be learned from nature!
What inspires you most? I'd love to hear.
Thanks for stopping by!

Seeing your post reminded me to get my post done too!
Surrounding yourself with positive people is the way to be.
Great post @porters. It doesn't need any fluff to make it any better. All great people and situations to be inspired by. I think this is 'the' thing I love about you. To see the good, to find inspiration in people. Each of these people didn't see themselves as extraordinary. They simply did what they felt was the right way to be. I have always wondered how would they react to see the impact they had/have.
That would be interesting to see how they would react if they saw the impact they had also it would have been marvelous to have met them in person and been able to converse with them. I have been inspired by folks on Steem too and others I knew personally but I kept it to a few who have inspired !e most.
People is a good answer.

People, definitely...there is nothing more inspirational than to see others succeed in their intentions.
Good people are indeed inspirational. I try to cling to that in these very troubled times when I see so many people doing harm.
