inspiration

From whom do you draw inspiration? A friend, parent, coworker? In the wake of the Olympics, perhaps an athlete? Someone you know, or even someone you don't know well. Regardless, I truly believe we all need someone to inspire us in some way to continue to work towards our goals - whatever they may be.

Today, I was moved, motivated, and definitely inspired by a professional associate. This woman has accomplished soooo much in her business over the last 17 years. Given her humble beginnings and self-imposed limitations, her success is beyond-inspiring. I hope to be just like her "when I grow up". Knowledgeable but a life-long student, gracious, funny but able to be serious, and charitable...with the ability to inspire the same in others. Who inspires and motivates you?
