WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

This is a 3 part Post on the what Inspires me. Inspiration is a person or work of art that moves the intellect or emotions or prompts action or invention.

My wife inspires me because of her relentless determination. Once she finds a cause, she is like a Pit Bull with a bone, you couldn't pry it out of her mouth to save your life. At 40 she decided to bike to Vancouver. She trained, set the trip up and did the trip solo. A few years ago she went back to school and won a National Award for the top student in the Private Club Industry and last year she trained for 7 months and finished 10th in Western Canada as a figure athlete transforming her body into a chiseled machine. DETERMINATION

My daughter inspires me because of her Service. At the age of 17 she went to Africa and fell in love with the people. She now lives in Nairobi devoting her life to helping the poor and underprivileged. She sacrifices so much so others can gain hope. I am amazed by her devotion. SERVICE.

My son inspires me because of his work ethic. Nothing of value comes without hard work and what he lacks in talent, he makes up in grit. He understands how hard he has to work to be successful and is willing to put the time and effort in. He has turned into such a fine young man. HARD WORK.

And finally my MOM, my mom has been battling Cancer the last 3 years and is in her third round of chemotherapy. Her COURAGE is absolutely inspiring. She never complains, never feels sorry for herself and always puts others before herself. I am so excited to have her come up and live with us for good. COURAGE.

So in this first part of what inspires me, my FAMILY leads me to try to be Determined, Courageous, Hard Working and Benevolent. I have the greatest role models in the world, talk about inspirations. WHAT INSPIRES YOU?
