There are many people who come into our lives at every stage of ;life. Parents, siblings, friends colleagues, acquaintances, teachers and the like.
Not everyone makes an impact on your life even though they may be close to you. I have shared a house with a classmate of mine for a couple of years and all I felt was I have become emotionally strong in my ability to take any kind of nonsense that comes my way and ignore the person completely.
My dad taught me by example to live a good life. He never lectured me on anything.. He walked the talk and was a man I admire the most. His valued integrity and hard work. Mom complained a lot.. but she did what she had to do for her family. She was a courageous woman.
One of my professors helped me understand my potential and helped me believe in myself. She
A friend of mine taught me how to not give up in life.. at the age of 84 she went to art school and painted pictures that people rave about. She had severe arthritis by then.. she has been my inspiration for years now.. ( she was my neighbor)
Who is you inspiration, who has influenced you the most?

My exe boyfriend inspired me to be an emotionally stable lady. My sister has taught me to persevere in life despite the trouble we go through and my parents have inspired responsibility in life. In highschool, my English teacher taught me leadership skills.

I would say that it's my brother that influenced me the most by pointing to the Bible as the word of God and my life has been so much richer since. I was lost but he showed me the way and that Jesus not only was the way but also the truth and the life and I have done my best to walk on that road ever since.

@1hopefulman Your brother has not only influenced you in this life but he has inspired you to follow his influence into the life after. I am so happy that he was a John the baptist in your life pointing Jesus to you. You are blessed to have a brother like him, Praise Jesus.

The situations were my inspiration. Being the reaching out type it gave me immense joy to reach out. and there were countless opportunities lined up.
And as for progress in my life more than inspiration it was the encouragement that I got from husband to reach where I reached.

@sofssu We have inborn instincts and reaching out is one such I possess.

My father is the one who inspired me the most. He is full of intergity and is dignified even when he is already bedridden.
He only wants my brother in law and nephews to clean him, not us women, his daughters.
He was an uncorrupted judge. He didn't get rich because he didn't accept bribes.
He is my inspiration to be good all throughout my life.

@responsiveme True there are many from whom we can learn a lot but is there a single person or a few who have in some ways brought about a change in your life?

@sofssu Hmmm, I need more thought. Some people are complicated - some have taught things to do, or not do. Some have been difficult in my life, but I have learned
