Do you know someone who has done something amazing?  You have even watched them fail time after time and still they succeed.  Did you see the roadblocks they faced and marvel that they kept going when there seemed to be no hope?  Knowing and watching these people can be an inspiration to imitate them and do amazing things for your own life. 

Does it sound really cool to think about people still talking about you a hundred years from now?  Imagine touching the life of a child so that they grow up to do something that changes the world.  Okay, you're thinking this is pretty outrageous to be imagining such grand things about the ordinary you.  You simply cannot see how your dreams could be big enough to make you famous.  How do you know that?  It isn't about fame anyway; it's about touching lives and leaving inspiration behind for others to follow through your example.

                Just having an impact on your children and other family members is worth any struggle. If you succeed and it inspires a loved one to pursue their dreams, then you did well.  Picture years from now one of those young ones, all grown up and successful, coming to thank you.  What if that person goes on to have a great affect on the world because you followed YOUR dreams and did something great with your life?  What an inspiration to leave behind!

                Even your smallest dreams have the ability to impact others.  Sometimes your dreams end up being about more than just what you want.  What if you invented something that made life easier for the average person?  Now, don't go worrying about the grand scheme of things just yet.  Focus on what you have in front of you and what you can accomplish now.  You can keep in mind that what you do has an impact on others, so always do your very best.  If you can't see a way to make your dreams come true, don't give up on them.  There is always a way.  You have the ability to be great and do great things even without the "proper" education or training.  If you lack that, then go get the education that you know will help you reach your goals.  Don't keep your inspiration to yourself.  There are plenty of souls in this world without hope, let them see the light of yours. 

You have the ability and the obligation to strive for greatness.  The inspiration you leave will encourage the next generation in wonderful ways you have yet to imagine.
