    Re: What Inspires you?

    I have a vague ultimate goal of helping people and animals in some way. I do not know if I will ever become make enough money to realize that goal on the scale that I want but I am trying!

    My kindness for others came from my father (My mother is very kind also). When my father died I was with him. We were cutting a tree up, splitting the wood and stacking it into a truck for a poor family that could not afford heat. Until this day I still cut and split wood for others .

    A lot of different things inspire me. The thrill of getting a chunk of code to work, the feel of holding my wife in my arms, the wonder of God's gifts to us.

    The most inspiring person I can think of was my grandma. She retired and spent around 30 years helping Southeast-Asian immigrants adjust to life in America. She helped them navigate government regulations, and worked for free helping them sell crafts. She taught me a LOT about hospitality, graciousness, and helping people in need.

    Re: What Inspires you?

    I want to become everything I can be and use that to serve God. Sometimes I'm temporarily inspired by thinks like money or popularity, but I've found all those things really do is string me along until I crash.

    So I guess you could say God inspires me. The hugeness of a God caring about an insignifcant speck such as myself is what drives me to give life my all.

    Wow. This is bringing out the deep sides of peoples heart.

    Jordan, I know you won't but remember to NEVER give up. It might take you a life time to achieve it but by then you will have hopefully inspired your children to do the same or something similar. And they can achieve your goal and look up to you.

    That is something amazing Winged. Do you follow any of her steps?

    A lot of people inspire me, and I'm not really sure if there is one person who is the most inspiring to me.

    In addition, meeting goals inspire me to continue achieving more and more

    Something that hit me last night is that God loves us, at least in part, because he made us in His own image. He doesn't love us for who we are, but because He crafted each of us to be a reflection of who He is.

    I believe that God gave her the spiritual gift of service, and that she lived it out daily. He has given me different spiritual gifts, and one of my goals is to use the ones he gave me.

    Are you telling me you didn't watch porn when you were 13? :001_tt2:

    OK bad choice of smiley lol.

    I am inspired by my family. My grandma was so poor she had to eat grass, and my father was "kicked" to England when he was 10 years old. He spoke no English, and had never been educated.

    That is completely true. I never thought of it that way, everyone has a different gift and your goal in life set by god is to fulfill it.

    Nope, I am 15 and I still don't xD
    Wow, that is really sad to hear Xav, I can see you are nothing like your Dad when you were 10. He made sure he wouldn't do the same thing to you.

    Re: What Inspires you?

    What inspires me?

    Well, to understand what it is to be a human being.(I mean for real) When I was a child, I always asked people around me, why do we exist and live today, like we do?
    Naturally people answered me with, God and the "evolution theory" some even with told me about the "chaos theory".(Which I find very interesting and dumb)

    Today, I have high believes that God is the "greater" of all things. Yet, why do we live? For what purpose outside religion and so?
    So, I would say my main goal that has inspired me to learn about philosophy; Ultimately became God.(quite funny eh?)
