Inspiration

"You are where you are and what you are because of the decisions and choices you have made in your life. You can change where you are and what you are by making new choices." ~Zig Ziglar




That has to be one of my favorite quotes from someone whom i've never met...But it is not far off in meaning from something said by someone that I did have the pleasure of spending a lot of time with in my youth...It goes, "pay me now, or pay me later"...I don't know whether that is an original quote from him or not, but I can tell you one thing, I can not count the number of times that i heard it...Hundreds, if not thousands of times...

The bottom line of both are, the decisions that you make today will affect you one way or another before it's all said and done...For instance, if you take your last couple of hundred dollars to buy a psp and games instead of paying your utility bill or investing in your future, you may one day live to regret it...Another example, you drop out of college and build, in my opinion, the largest conglomerate of nonphysical products in recent wellknown history...I think that you may not necessarily reget it...

There are people and places all over the world where you can find inspiration...I believe that I heard a wellknown former talk show host saying that she has been inspired by a few dozen South African girls that are the blessed recipients of an opportunity to possibly, literallly go from "rags to riches"...I believe that "you are what you read"...or as some people say "garbage in, garbage out"...so pull yourself away from the tv, your nintendo ds or
www.huffingtonpost.com and grab a good inspirational book from someone like Napoleon Hill, Robert Kiyosaki, or Zig Ziglar (and the list goes on) and be inspired...



 Where do you get your inspiration from???



Motivation
 I love "old people"...Pardon the tag...My mother says "I'm seventy years young."...My grandparents were my favorite people in the whole world when I was young...At one point in my teens, I lived with my grandmother and my mother would call and always ask, "How are you two old ladies doing?"...And I would respond, "We're fine."...

 I haven't seen my father in over 10 years...That means, there are four grandkids that haven't had the pleasure of smelling or hugging their grandfather...My favorite pictures, from my youth, are the close-ups of me and my daddy...I miss my family more than words can say...I want my kids to really know their family and not just see them via webcam...

 I am a WAHM because i want my daddy to hug his grandson, my three year old baby...This is what motivates me..Tell me and the www, "What motivates you?"...

 Maybe it's having a fly ride (i.e. nice car, for the "old people" out there) or having a phat crib (i.e. beautiful house, for the "old people" out there)...Or maybe it's to treat yourself to a new gadget, like an iPad or macbook...or it could even be to just take a break from the daily grind and relax on a white sandy beach...Whatever the motivation, it matters and it is important...Dream big and work smart...



 What motivates you???
