Who Inspires You?

"Good actions give strength to ourselves and inspire good actions in others."

                                                                                        -Plato

Everyone has, or should have someone in their life who they inspire. If you want to be successful, you must be surrounded by successful people. So who inspires you? Who makes you want to do better and become a better person? I had someone in my life who inspired, well, continues to inspire me. That person is my Grandma Weezie.

My grandmother was a wonderful woman. She made everyone who crossed paths with her feel important. She always had you laughing and kept a constant smile on her face.....even through the rough times. You never really knew if something was going on in her life because she never showed it. My grandma Weezie was apart of a lot of social clubs and worked at Mercy Hospital for 50+ years. She also served at her local church for 50+ years. She traveled and she loved all of her grandchildren to death!

My grandmother passed on March 12, 2013. I'm still hurt that she is gone but I know that she is in Heaven and no longer in pain. My grandma lived a very full life and inspired so many people......especially me. I am more determined than ever to follow my dreams and not give up because I know that this is something she would have wanted me to do. I am blessed to say that I had an angel in my life who lifted me up with I feel like I have failed and love me even when I made huge mistakes. As I get older, I want to be just like her and reach more goals then I could ever imagine.

When you have someone like that in your life, cherish them, learn from them because the things that they do can inspire you to do such great things. So.......who inspires you? Leave a comment below:
