Have you ever felt like you were different, not the same as everyone else? Have you ever felt that you couldn't do something because you were different? Well being different is only bad if you choose to see it that way. Maybe you are different for a reason. A reason that will only be shown to you when you choose to do what you love and your heart dreams of any way. Here is someone who does what they love and doesn't worry about what others think.

When you feel like giving up or giving in, go ahead and rest but get back up and try again. You are worth the effort and your deserve it. It is only too late if you decide it is.

Some of us face mental challenges in life. Some will face physical challenges. Others will face emotional challenges. A few may face multiple challenges.

Some of us will succumb to the burdens these challenges create. Some of us will push forward any way. Others will succeed inspite of them. A few will flourish because of them.

Here is someone who is living their dreams where others feel it may not be possible.

Inspiration for Motivation

There are many times when we set out to do something and then become overwhelmed with the idea of it all. The details start to feel like road blocks and we begin to wonder can I even do this. This is an article from some years ago about a blind man who became a wrestler at a time when most people only saw a blind person as someone that had to be taken care of there whole lives and not as an independent self sustaining individual. In the end the difference between success and failure can be defined in one word, perserverance.

Inspiration for Motivation

When tragedy strikes we are often left reeling. We struggle to make sense of what has happened. However, sometimes things just don't make sense and when this happens we may not know how to let go and move on. Sometimes the only way to heal is not to make sense of it but make sure that something good comes from it.

Today's story is of a woman who turned a tragedy in her past into inspiration to help others experiencing a similar situation. Maybe knowing we are not alone is the gift we are given and can then give to others in a senseless act. God bless you.

Inspiration for Motivation

Sometimes we are on the road to our dream; soaring and flying down the path with excitement when something comes along and sends us in a tailspin. When it's over we wonder if we have the strength to get back up let alone move forward and pursue the dream. Sometimes it's so devastating that others tell us we are justified in giving up.

Here is an amazing example of not only getting back up but also moving forward and chasing after the dream when the unthinkable happens. Remember, you are the one who decides how far you go. Everyone can tell you no or to quite, you are the one who decides if you listen.

Here is an example of going after your dream even when it feels like the odds are stacked against you. An example of logic and common sense being a reason not to pursue your dreams but going after them any way.

This is a singer who suffers from hearing loss. A singer needs to be able to hear themselves, hear the music, and so many other things. Hearing is an integral part of singing and being a singer. It would seem only reasonable to think if you suffer from hearing loss that singing is a far fetched unattainable dream. But here is someone who is chasing that dream inspite of the obstacles or what may seem as an assured failure.

When we travel on a rocky path or unknown road we tend to be so busy looking down at our feet that we forget to look up and enjoy the journey we are on. An elder in my church says, "we often wait to reach our destination to be happy when we can be happy while on the journey". There are also many quotes that we often see stating that happiness is a state of being and not a destination.

Everyday we are all of us looking for or working towards something but we tend to spend most of the time waiting for the moment when we will finally be done with this or that and can then be happy. I want to share the things that I have come across that have inspired me in some way and given me cause to pause and just be happy. Seeing someone else's success can be a joyful occasion for us that gives us a little push to move forward in pursuing our own dreams. I hope you find them as heart warming and uplifting as I have.

This is a video on youtube that shows a person pursuing their dream when everyone around them is doubtful and against them. However, by the end everyone is stunned by their talent. Remember when you watch this; it doesn't matter what other people think about you, it only matters what you think. If you are true to yourself, the nay sayers may very well be your biggest fans. Enjoy.
