But I have read some inspirational quotes this year that have inspired me. "Do something today that your future self will thank you for." "Speak in such a way that others love to listen to you. Listen in such a way that others love to speak to you." - Posted from rhpmobile

I don't know about "inspiring".. I would say for me personally more soul enhancing and touching. These people know who they are and unapologetic for just being theirselves (it's a beautiful thing), so therefore I don't need to name names as such, because it's not going to change anything, like who they are or how I feel. All I know is.. It can only get better from here on end! Ms Foxy xx

Her selflessness and generosity in sharing her knowledge, skills and experiences in psychology, as well as many other things in life, have inspired me to determine to do more than what I am already doing in terms of charity and lives saving! I cannot guarantee that I can save every life, but I will give my best try and save as many as I can, as long as they are genuine in their intention, instead of seeking attention only to satisfy their selfish ego! - Posted from rhpmobile

...I inspired myself. Because no one was doing it for me. Taking some time out was useful, it gave me back control and proved that some of my fears were unfounded. When work and life wasn't making me happy, I stepped aside from the game...had a good look and adjusted what wasn't working for me, then came back on my own terms.I'm content again...but it is a work in motion, as it should be.

Lots of inspirational moments around the place when we choose to look but I really admired President Obama for inviting to the White House the African school kid who made a homemade clock that was considered a bomb by school authorities. Nice to see something negative turned into a huge positive and imagine how inspired that little kid will be for the rest of his life instead of thinking he was racially stereotyped and persecuted. - Posted from rhpmobile

It's my students..I am actually surprised how well kids cope with blended families...parents who are serial monogamists and having more than one home..they inspire me every day with their humour and enthusiasm xxFreya

Quoting 'Koolgrey' ...I inspired myself. Because no one was doing it for me. Taking some time out was useful, it gave me back control and proved that some of my fears were unfounded.

How did you do that Kool?What is the secret?I would love to find life inspiration and work inspiration - it is so hard at the moment to be inspired by much at all and to find true inner happiness.I've made big and small changes in my life in the last 4 - 5 years and yet things seem stagnant.What worked for you to inspire yourself?Anyone else like to weigh in and tell us what inspires you to keep moving forward when life seems to be pushing you back?

As there is no other bugger. Managed to stop smoking, got rid of the ex, reduced stress, and currently working on increased exercise, feeling much better. (Bit of sex and I would be wonderful)

...I inspired myself by a series of realisations then acting upon them.I work FIFO, so my work impacts greatly on my home life as well. Around 2 years ago I had allowed myself to believe that the only way my ex-partner and I could be together on site...something seen as a rare privilege...was to continue working the nightshifts that after 4 years, I was truly tired of. I was mistaken in that belief, but naturally my work wasn't going to offer me an alternative as I was doing a great job. It was one of the factors in that relationship ending and my unhappiness. After enough time had passed and the hurt had lessened sufficiently, I decided it was time for a well earned holiday and to buy a home again...as combined rent and storage was costing me as much as a mortgage. Simple maths there, so I wisely bought a home that was costing me no more than my previous arrangement then had a holiday to Iceland...truly the far side of the world.But when I returned, I realised the work issue hadn't been solved...I still had no control over what I wanted to do, despite that I was valuable to my employer. I realised that because I was valuable I had no control as a full-time employee.So I resigned. Properly and on good terms. Never burn your bridges.I took time out for 10 weeks, seeing my family and just generally doing whatever I wanted.Eventually, my work rang me...I had already planned to come back to the industry on my own terms...but it made things clear. So, I have come back as a casual...one with the freedom to refuse work at any point...and the work dynamic, how I am treated...is much, much different. I am treated with respect because I have control again.Recognising these stumbling blocks was important, and thinking before acting upon them is equally so. Being in control of my happiness is important...and I have applied the same principle to RHP. I said this in another recent post that when I was first unhappy with this place, I adjusted my efforts here until I was happy again. Simples.I'm not saying this is some magic formula for success, but it's brought me back to happiness...or more accurately, contentedness.

Well 2015 has been if not the worst, equal worst for drama. And still a month and a bit to go.Thought about this question deeply. Three people who have had entirely different roles in my life this year.Firstly, the woman, SS who started of as a FB, then FWB, then GF/RL bestie. Put up with me and my situation and even though far from ideal for her, she has hung in there and said some amazing things and shared her own RL experiences that has prodded and inspired me forward on my journey.Secondly, the woman WT, who has become an online bestie who has consistently pieced me back together through so many dramas with inspiring words etc. Without those 2, not sure where I would be right now.Thirdly, my mother who passed away a few weeks ago. 40+ years ago, she asked me to keep our secret, sealed with a hug and a kiss. Then 4 years later I asked her to keep a secret, again sealed with a kiss and a hug. Through all those years, never a word spoken about the secrets. Then at the age of 92, a few months ago, she was asked a few times by different people about those secrets. She remained steadfast, denying it all and hosing it down as gossip and heresay. And then, a few days before the stroke that took her life, she slipped into a casual conversation with those people and cryptically said"Well right through my pregnancy and up to the birth of my youngest boy(me) I desperately wanted a girl. Then from the moment of the birth he(me) always appeared to want to be a girl. Oh well."So that was a different inspiration again. Thanks mum for keeping our secret all those years, wherever you are now.

My inspirations this year have been personal. A dear friend who has shown enormous strength in making some difficult decisions, taking responsibility for making things better, and working together with his ex to create a positive harmonious parenting relationship. He's been such an inspiration to me, as I've faced some difficult decisions this year - he has really given me the strength to be able to face my own challenges, and get through them. My daughters always inspire me, and this year has been no exception. They are very different people, and have faced different challenges this year, but handled them with such grace and courage - they inspire me to be a better woman, to be the kind of role model they deserve. And the students I work with inspire me every day. The adversity they face, in so many areas of their lives, is often overwhelming. But they turn up, and they try, and they don't let it beat them. I'm endlessly inspired by the best of humanity I see around me - it makes up for the worst that we see reflected in the horrors around the world.

There are so many of your posts where I nod my head, similar creatures? I get what you're saying and good for you, I inspired myself too, stopped blaming everyone else for my inadequacies and just got a grip basically, quite literally actually lol

There are a few people in the public eye I truly admire for their perseverance be it in the field of politics, culture, science, social interactions whatever it is. I think perseverance is a great attribute that seems to be valued less nowadays - whereas applied with skill (know when to accept defeat) will help one to get through roadblocks and hurdles in life. Cos that is what it is isn't it - persevere through the challenging times to enjoy the good ones. But I do find these lyrics from Xtina A's song "Fighter" inspirational "Makes me that much stronger Makes me work a little bit harder It makes me that much wiser So thanks for making me a fighter Made me learn a little bit faster Made my skin a little bit thicker Makes me that much smarter So thanks for making me a fighter"

What doesn't kill you will make you stronger...for me it's only sometimes true.People like Rosie Batty are certainly an inspiration and so are my indigenous friends who on a daily basis have to deal wi th stupid and ignorant comments...I am constantly amazed by the resilience that many people showin the face of adversity,I have a friend I met here whose life has been an absolute inspiration to me.in terms of transformation and resilience xxFreya

Love your inspiration . Thanks for sharing! For me, I'm inspired by the man who has shown me unconditional love, my husband. He is an incredible human being who puts others needs before his own. He is patient, kind, forgiving and just so understanding. He does so much for others, he supports events at school, he's the go to Mr fixit for lots of people. He went with the local Chinese teacher to purchase her first car ( so she didn't get ripped off, because of a language barrier and she doesn't have other support), he helped a friend leave an abusive relationship and he builds the production props, he steps in as maintenance man, just to name a few. He's an incredible dad and a sexy, intelligent, funny husband. He's the man who gives me the confidence to explore so much, to try new things and the freedom to have lovers ;) This never waned even as he was battling cancer! I'm inspired by the man he is and the incredible role model our children have in their lives. Mary xx

He made a commitment earlier in the year that just baffled me, and although he didn't see out the entire 6 months he put in a top effort and is now reaping the rewards. He showed me that sometimes you must first make a sacrifice in order to reach your goals.

Three people inspired me this year. 1. Chef Pete Evans - no matter how much people try to discredit him and put him down he keeps fighting for what he believes in.2. A local guy named Chris. He lost 70kgs in 6 months. This inspired me to believe that I am not defeated in my own fight against the fat. I have now lost 20kgs in 3 months.3. My wife. Without her, I don't know what my life would look like right now.

Who was inspired by myself. I wasn't sure how I'd go with some things this year but I've got through the challenges and done pretty well. For the first time in a long time I actually believe in my abilities and can see a light at the end of the tunnel. - Posted from rhpmobile

Quoting 'Mstr_Full' Waleed Aly... so many reasons to be inspired... he even gave the speech our PM should have delivered after the incidents in Paris... Oh... and his wife... Susan Carland... so smart, balanced and hot! I agree. I am continually inspired by Waleed Aly. Waleed Aly is just brilliant and a voice of reason and providing us an intelligent perspective on what is happening around us in a wave of terrorism. His counter approach of more love and understanding to muslims in our community and the world as opposed to the hate mongers, in all their stupid simplicity and bigotry, makes a lot of sense. He penned a wonderful book about 3 years ago in the prejudices and bigotry that the Australian muslim community, mainly peace loving people, faces in the light of attacks by a small minority of fundamentalists overseas and the resulting isolation that the muslim community experiences. It also explains the vulnerability and isolation of the young muslim men who are demonized and unjustly branded as dangerous by the small minded xenophones. A good read for all to reflect and get some perspective on the muslim community in the light of what is happening. History has time and again showed that letting hate rule always end in devasting consequences to mainly innocents and the economies of countries, e.g. Hitler;s Third Reich earlier last century. When will we ever learn?

One of my hobbies is doing tango, I grew up watching my parents dance together and that is how I was unconsciously drawn to tango because every time I do it, I can feel the love my parents had for each other and how pleasant it was to watch them dance and how strong and loved I felt. So, I take classes and do workshops to improve my skills. Javier is not only is one of the greatest performers in the world, he is the most reputable teacher of tango too. I recently attended a few of his workshops in Sydney and realised how much one can accomplish at a young age. On the last day of the workshop, I asked him what made him the best in the world at such a young age, and as I was asking the question I was preparing myself to hear a bunch of repetitive stuff like ‘love what you do’ or ’practice, practice, practice’ as an answer. Surprisingly, his answer was quite unique and also summarised and implied all those points perfectly which was “you cannot do what you love reservedly”. So, the lesson of 2015 is, it is not just in bed where you should do it to the hilt, no matter what I decide to do from now on in life I WILL DO IT TO THE HILT ;) - Posted from rhpmobile
