Sometimes all we need is a little inspiration.

When we don't know who we are, or which place to call home. When the odds have stacked up against us, and we feel there is no hope. All we need sometimes to regain our direction, is a little inspiration.
I feel something inside me shift every time I see someone do something extraordinary, or read something unique or different. I feel, inspired. To achieve impossible, to strive for the best, to reach for the top. By impossible, I don't mean curing fatal illnesses, by best I don't mean a penthouse or a bez, and by the top, I don't mean a paparazzi littered life. I mean impossible, the things nobody ever dreamed I could do, best, as in the best I can be, and by top, I mean reaching such a level of impossible and best, that I couldn't wish to go any further than the happiness I've already achieved. Because though nobody dreamed I could do it, I dreamed every night. And because nobody expected me to be more, but I always knew there was never a limit. And because nobody believed there was such a thing as perfectly happy, I've always been content with life, with my choices, my directions.

I do not strive for inspiration because I never had or was told I never could. I hunger for inspiration because I know that I can do more. I believe that I can achieve anything. When dark clouds roll over my mind and I begin to question whether love exists, whether those things are possible from me, or whether I have the strength to see it all through to the end...Inspiration is the wind that carries those dark clouds away. Suddenly I am alive, my appetite for the world is intact once more. I am clear sighted, clear headed, and whole hearted all over again.

Fairytales are not just stories to tell children so that they may have sweet dreams. Fairytales are there to let us know that it's okay for our dreams to run wild. I believe in fairytales. I don't mean that I believe prince charming is going to come sweep me off my feet, put a glass slipper on my foot and a silver spoon in my mouth. I mean that I believe. I whole heartedly believe. That there is nothing in this world that can stop me from achieving my own dreams. From making my own dreams come true. Me.

I know nobody is going to do it for me. I know that it's not going to fall into my lap. But I do know this.

That no matter what life has taken from you. No matter how much the world's cold shoulder has slowed you down. There is nothing, and I mean nothing, that can ever stop you dead in your tracks. Because with each new day there comes an opportunity to be great, by your own standards.

All it takes? Is a little inspiration. And I hope, that after reading this, you can feel inspired too. Be it to love again, to move on, to be proud, or confident, or to just know, that this isn't all there is. This is not the end. You can be anything you want to be. For real. For life. You can go where ever you want to go, see anything you desire to see, and do exactly what it is your heart wants to do. Your soul, that little light inside all of us, was put there to let us know there is hope. So that we may feel the essence of greatness. To know we are part of something huge. Whoever you are, you can walk outside your house, the place you know so well, and know that something huge is close by. Life is all around us, and our lives are happening right now. Don't sleep on it, don't put it off until you think you're ready. Because life isn't going to wait for you to wave the green flag on the turningpoint of your life. You were born ready. You took those first steps, you made that first trip, you felt that first hurt. Because you were ready, and you met it head on. Life is full of paths, roads, highways, freeways, overpasses, shortcuts, and U turns. Jump in, grab the wheel, and floor it. There is always room for mistakes. Just never pull over, because the road keeps on going. There will be time to look back on your life when you've chosen where your road will end. And when you're ready to get off those blocks, a new car will be waiting for you, ready to take you where ever you want to go, with the same road map marked with the last pit stops. Go back and visit, or find a whole new adventure. And don't ever worry about running out of gas. Your car? It runs on...............














Inspiration.

Driven down this road
I've got the radio on
I don't care what it is sayen
I can still sing along
Because no matter where I'm goen
Be it no place at all
I know that I'll keep goen
Sink, swim, run, or fall

Because cause I've found
Inspiration
And I will not lose control
Because I'm not
Intimidated
My heart is my only home

I've read stories by the dozens
And each one completely changed
The way I operate my daily function
Look out I'm switching lanes

And when the sky
Gets dark and grey
No rain or snow
Will slow my pace

Because cause I've found
Inspiration
And I will not lose control
Because I'm not
Intimidated
My heart is my only home

Lost and wandering
I shall always be
As long as there's a path
In front of me

And when I fall
I'll brush off my knees
And keep on chasing
Destiny

Because cause I've found
Inspiration
And I will not lose control
Because I'm not
Intimidated
My heart is my only home

The only place that's up to speed
The only home I'll ever need.
