For one to be an inspiration -
one must be inspired.

Someone once told me to write about what inspires me - about what I experience, see, hear, feel. And that I should draw about things that inspired me - that I see, experience, hear around me - or feel inside.

The dictionary describes inspiration as one of the following - “a divine influence directly and immediately exerted upon the mind or soul” - and - “the divine quality of the writings or words of a person so influenced.”

A lot of things inspire me. Music - conversations - the things I see when I travel from one place to the other - but what mostly inspires me are people. I think a lot of people underestimate the power of other people. I have met many many people in my life - and I have learned many many new things from many people. I hope I too have had the ability to teach someone something.

As I continue my journey every day - and reflect on the past, present and future - I can say without a doubt that the drive I have for life - is caused by people. They are my inspiration, they inspire me, and some - even support me in being inspired and daring to dream, pursue my dreams and make something of myself and of my future.

To all you out there who I have met - am living with in the present - or who might become an inspiration to me - thank you all so very much. Even to the people out there who I will probably never met - but who have also inspired me - thank you.

Love to all of you.
