A stranger who was polite in line at a convenience store has as much impact on me as watching a Russian pole vaulter who continues to break her own world record over and over again. The reasoning is simple but really important. Neither happens because of complacency. It takes a desire to be better than you are to continually improve and to become the best you can be. Politeness doesn't occur naturally, and neither do world records. I concur that the multitude of people on Body Space who strive to be their best and never stop moving forward are not only inspirational but also an example how most people should strive to be in all aspects of their lives. I am impressed by the amazing weight losses of a hundred pounds of more, 70 year old fitness champions, mothers of 6, cancer survivors, over 40 looking the better then their 20 year old selves, teenagers building a foundation that will last them a lifetime, and anyone who is a pound lighter or who can bench 10 more than last year. Of course we all have set backs at times, but I love to see someone gain an extra twenty and start to work it right back down again. I am motivated by every person who wants to be a better them then they were yesterday! Inspiration comes from everything experience that touches my life.

It left me feeling sick physically as well as spiritually. I turned my life around 2 months ago. I wrote about it in my blog. Now I hope to be an inspiration to the people around me by setting an example in my life. I really like what you said in this post. I find that the new inspirational section has become a bit of a competition. WHO IS THE MOST INSPIRATIONAL!!!! It doesn't do the word inspiration justice.
